Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Converter 8x12G SFP (Black)

Eight-channel, bi-directional 12G-SDI 2110 IP converter for optical fiber that includes eight 10G Ethernet SFP modules. Features a status LCD and control panel, and it supports HD and Ultra HD standards up to 2160p60. The purpose of this converter is to enable 12G-SDI broadcast equipment to support SMPTE-2110 IP video. In order to use optical fiber Ethernet modules over long distances, the Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Converter has a 1RU design with 8 independent bidirectional 12G-SDI to SMPTE-2110 IP video converters using SFP modules. There is a 12G-SDI program return input that sends to all channels in addition to the 12G-SDI inputs on each channel. This implies that you can send a single 12G-SDI input from a single connection to every device that is connected.

Construct Expert SMPTE-2110 Broadcasting Systems

The purpose of the Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters is to incorporate SDI gear into 2110 IP broadcast systems. The equipment you're converting can be placed directly next to the rack mount model in equipment racks. Moreover, the majority of Blackmagic SMPTE-2110 IP video products have remote power capabilities. However, if you add converters, you can convert all of your video equipment to SMPTE-2110 at a reasonable cost. To enhance live production switchers, disk recorders, streaming processors, cameras, TVs, and other devices, just incorporate a Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter.

Meets the SMPTE-2110 IP Video Standard Requirements

The SMPTE ST-2110 standard for IP video, which describes the transport, synchronization, and description of 10-bit video, audio, and ancillary data over managed IP networks for broadcast, is met by Blackmagic 2110 IP products. Additionally, it can lock external equipment to the reference output that is also produced by the PTP clock or resync SDI inputs to a shared PTP clock. SMPTE-2110-20 uncompressed video, SMPTE-2110-21 traffic shaping or timing, SMPTE-2110-30 audio, and SMPTE-2110-40 for ancillary data are all supported by Blackmagic 2110 IP products. Additionally, Multicasting is an effective way to distribute data, audio, and video from a single source to several destinations, and it is supported by Blackmagic 2110 IP products.

Utilizes Cost Effective 10G Ethernet

For basic Cat6 copper cables, Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters are available in 8x12G SFP with RJ-45 connectors or SFP sockets for optical fiber modules and cables. Building SMPTE-2110 systems can be done significantly more affordably by using basic Cat6 copper cables. Ethernet switches for 10G Ethernet are widely available, and the cables are straightforward. You can use the cables you already have because 10G Ethernet is typically already installed in modern buildings. Copper cables can also be used to remotely power electronics like cameras and converters. Ethernet over optical fiber has models as well. Compared to 25G or 40G Ethernet, 10G optical fiber is substantially less expensive. Even the 12G-SDI module is usable.

Exceptionally Simple to Install

One of the main issues with SMPTE-2110 is that video systems require an IT technician to be on call in order to continue operating. This issue is resolved by Blackmagic 2110 IP converters, which allow point-to-point connections, eliminating the need for complicated Ethernet switches when not in use. This implies that SMPTE-2110 IP video benefits can be obtained with basic Ethernet cables, remote power, and bidirectional video. It resembles an SDI workflow exactly. Rack converters allow you to use a single cable to control all camera functions, program video, power, and tally. Alternatively, for remote monitors, connect an HDMI converter to a rack converter. Everything just functions and configures itself automatically.

Easy Point-to-Point

Point-to-point connectivity between the converters can be established using a basic Ethernet cable. A rack and a monitor converter or camera are two examples. There are no settings to enter because the point-to-point connection automatically configures. It's a straightforward cable that simply plugs in. Point-to-point connections provide the ideal solution for live events because an Ethernet cable can simplify the process of connecting to cameras by carrying all power, video, and control through a single cable.
