Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G Converter for Broadcast (Black)
The Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G Converter lets you convert broadcast cameras with SDI connections to SMPTE-2110 IP video systems. This bi-directional 12G-SDI converter is designed to connect broadcast cameras to SMPTE-2110 IP systems. Its 12G-SDI connection supports SD, HD and Ultra HD standards up to 2160p60 and even handles the SDI program return. It's small size means it can be used in-line hand held. Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G also has a 5 pin XLR talkback headset connection with talkback volume control and a press to talk button. It connects and powers from RJ-45 10G Ethernet or the included DC power supply.
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 or 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 cable installed, so you can use the cables you already have. Plus copper cables can remote 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 the need for 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. It's more complex to configure, but is totally flexible.
Rack Mount Models
Rack mount models have elegantly designed front panels with an LCD, so you can walk up and change settings right from the front panel. The display also shows live video monitoring of all inputs and outputs. In addition, the LCD includes routing menus for selecting the IP source for each of the video outputs. It’s just like a mini router, but built into the front panel. The rack mount models have active cooling so they can be stacked together in a rack. Plus most models support PoE Ethernet power.
