Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Converter 3x3G with 2.2-Inch LCD Display and 10G Ethernet (Black)

The new Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Converter 3x3G lets you convert 3 separate 3G-SDI devices to 2110 IP video systems. That’s because its 10G Ethernet connection can handle 3 separate video channels at the same time. Plus each channel has independent SDI inputs and SDI outputs, so you could even connect to 6 completely different SDI devices. All 3G-SDI inputs feature loop outputs so you can install the converter in line with existing SDI systems. There’s also a reference output, timed to the 2110 PTP clock. Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 3x3G includes an elegant front panel with a color LCD for monitoring, menus, and diagnostics. You can even route IP inputs from the panel. 10G Ethernet supports 3 x video input channels and 3 x video output channels each up to 1080p60 and up to 16 channels of embedded audio plus ancillary data. It has 6 buttons with spin knob control and 2.2-inch color display for video, video standard, audio, and timecode monitoring plus menu settings.
Build ProfessionalSMPTE‑2110 Broadcast Systems
All models conform to the SMPTE ST-2110 standard for IP video, including PTP clocks and even NMOS support so you can make connections using a video router panel. The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 3x3G model even includes a reference video output, timed to the 2110 PTP clock. The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters have been designed to integrate SDI equipment into 2110 IP broadcast systems. The rack mount models can be installed in equipment racks right next to the equipment you're converting. However, with Blackmagic Studio Cameras, Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G G3, and the SmartView 4K G3, you can build most of your SMPTE-2110 system without converters. Plus most Blackmagic SMPTE-2110 IP video products can be remote powered. But adding converters means you get a low-cost way to transform all your video equipment to SMPTE-2110. Simply add a Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter to live production switchers, disk recorders, streaming processors, cameras, TVs, and more.
Conforms to the SMPTE‑2110 IP Video Standard
Blackmagic 2110 IP products conform to the SMPTE ST-2110 standard for IP video, which specifies the transport, synchronization, and description of 10-bit video, audio, and ancillary data over managed IP networks for broadcast. It can also re-sync SDI inputs to a common PTP clock or external gear can lock to the reference output that’s also generated from the PTP clock. Blackmagic 2110 IP products support SMPTE-2110-20 uncompressed video, SMPTE-2110-21 traffic shaping/timing, SMPTE-2110-30 audio, and SMPTE-2110-40 for ancillary data. Plus Blackmagic 2110 IP products support multicast, which is an efficient way of distributing video, audio, and data from a single source to multiple destinations.
Uses Simple 10G Ethernet for Low Cost
Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters are available in models with RJ-45 connectors for simple Cat6 copper cables or SFP sockets for optical fiber modules and cables. Using simple Cat6 copper cables means you can build SMPTE-2110 systems at a dramatically lower cost. The cables are simple and Ethernet switches for 10G Ethernet are very common. In most cases, modern buildings already have 10G Ethernet cables installed, so you can use the cables you already have. Plus copper cables can remotely power devices such as converters and cameras. There are also models for optical fiber Ethernet. Optical fiber at 10G speed is much lower cost than 25G or 40G Ethernet. You can even use 3G, 6G, or 12G‑SDI modules.
Incredibly Easy to Install
One of the biggest problems with SMPTE-2110 is needing an IT tech on standby to keep video systems running. Blackmagic 2110 IP converters solve this problem because they can connect point to point, so you don't need to use a complex Ethernet switch if you don't want to. That means you get the advantage of SMPTE-2110 IP video with simple Ethernet cables, remote power, and bidirectional video. It’s just like an SDI workflow. You can plug cameras into rack converters and get all the camera control, program video, power, and tally, with a single cable. Or connect an HDMI converter to a rack converter for remote monitors. Everything automatically configures and just works.
Simple Point to Point
You can connect the converters point to point with a simple Ethernet cable between the converters. An example is between a rack and a monitor converter or camera. The point-to-point connection auto configures so you don't need to enter any settings. It's a simple cable that you just plug in. With point-to-point connections, you get the perfect solution for live events as the Ethernet cable can make connecting to cameras extremely simple with all control, power, and video down a single cable.
Connect via Ethernet Switch
When working in larger SMPTE-2110 systems, such as broadcast, you can connect all your video gear to an Ethernet switch. In this case, you just plug everything into the Ethernet switch and then make the connections between devices by configuring the Ethernet switch. It works just like a large video router as all connections are made between the SMPTE-2110 devices. Plus all Blackmagic 2110 IP products support the NMOS protocol.
