Create Professional SMPTE-2110 Broadcast Systems

The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter is specifically engineered to incorporate SDI equipment into SMPTE-2110 IP broadcast infrastructures. However, when paired with Blackmagic Studio Cameras, Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G G3, and SmartView 4K G3, you can establish most of your SMPTE-2110 system without relying on converter. Integrating converter also provides an economical solution to transition all your video equipment to SMPTE-2110.

Follows the SMPTE‑2110 IP Video Specification

It adheres to the SMPTE-2110 standard for IP video, detailing the transport, synchronization, and description of 10-bit video, audio, and ancillary data across managed IP networks for broadcasting. It can also re-sync SDI inputs to a synchronized PTP clock, or external devices can synchronize to the reference output generated by the PTP clock. Blackmagic 2110 IP supports SMPTE-2110-20 for uncompressed video, SMPTE-2110-21 for traffic shaping/timing, SMPTE-2110-30 for audio, and SMPTE-2110-40 for ancillary data.

Multi-Rate 12G‑SDI

The Blackmagic 2110 IP converter is designed for sophisticated television production. It also incorporates the latest 12G-SDI video connections, permitting connections to both traditional broadcast equipment using SDI and new 2110 IP-based broadcast systems with the same device. 12G-SDI is multi-rate, meaning a single video BNC cable can link to any HD or Ultra HD equipment. It supports 720p HD at both 720p50 and 59.94p, in addition to 1080i HD interlaced standards at 1080i50 and 1080i59.94. For 1080p, it supports frame rates of 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, and 60p. The 12G-SDI also accommodates Ultra HD across all television standards, including 2160p at 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94, and 60p.

Utilizes 10G Ethernet

The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter features RJ-45 connectors for easy connection using Cat6 copper cables or SFP sockets for optical fiber modules and cables. Utilizing straightforward Cat6 copper cables allows for the construction of SMPTE-2110 systems at a significantly lower expense. These cables are uncomplicated, and 10G Ethernet switches are widely available.

Extremely Easy to Set Up

One major challenge with SMPTE-2110 is the need for an IT technician to maintain video systems. The Blackmagic 2110 IP converter addresses this issue by allowing direct connections, eliminating the need for a complicated Ethernet switch if desired. This allows you to take advantage of SMPTE-2110 IP video using straightforward Ethernet cables, remote power, and bidirectional video, much like an SDI workflow.

Straightforward Point to Point

You can establish a point-to-point connection using a single Ethernet cable between converter.

Connect Using an Ethernet Switch

In larger SMPTE-2110 systems, such as those used in broadcasting, you can link all your video equipment through an Ethernet switch. In this scenario, simply connect everything to the Ethernet switch and set up the connections between devices via the switch configuration.

Includes NMOS Protocol for Creating a Virtual Router

The converter is compatible with NMOS interface specifications, enabling all 2110 IP video devices to function collectively as a large virtual router. Furthermore, Videohub Master Control Pro and Smart Control Pro can route sources to destinations across 2110 IP networks as they act as NMOS controllers.

Achieve True 10-Bit Broadcast Video Quality

The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter is built to deliver the highest quality video. The 10-bit standard is the most widely used in television, allowing colors to be represented with four times the precision of 8-bit video. By exclusively using 10-bit video, you ensure that all images are transmitted pixel for pixel as they were in the original SDI source, guaranteeing you always work with the highest quality available. This means there's no loss in quality, even at high frame rate Ultra HD, providing you with sharper green screen keying and clearer titles and color adjustments. Additionally, the Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter includes SDI re-clocking, ensuring that all devices in your studio receive a regenerated signal with minimal SDI jitter.

Compatible with All SD, HD, and Ultra HD Formats up to 2160p60

The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter is equipped with connections that accommodate SD, HD, and Ultra HD video standards. This capability allows you to connect your current SDI broadcast equipment to newer IP-based networks. For standard definition, the Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter supports both 525i59.94 and 625i50 standards. For high definition, it covers all 720p video standards up to 720p60, all interlaced 1080 standards up to 1080i60, and all progressive 1080 standards up to 1080p60. In Ultra HD, it supports all standards up to 2160p60. The converter automatically switches to the new video standard when the input changes.

Versatile and Redundant Power

It comes with an international power supply that operates from 100 to 240V AC, making it suitable for use anywhere globally.
