Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR - 4 independent bidirectional 12G-SDI to SMPTE-2110 IP video converters, 1 RU design, control panel with LCD and supports HD and Ultra HD standards up to 2160p60

4 independent bidirectional 12G-SDI to SMPTE-2110 IP video converters, 1 RU design, control panel with LCD and supports HD and Ultra HD standards up to 2160p60

19” rack format converter designed to integrate SMPTE-2110 IP video into 12G-SDI broadcast equipment. This standard (SMPTE ST-2110) developed by SMPTE, defines the transport and synchronization of 10-bit video, audio and auxiliary data over broadcast IP networks intended to replace SDI (Serial Digital Interface).

Uses 4 independent 12G-SDI to SMPTE-2110 bidirectional IP video converters and 10G Ethernet RJ45 connections; this ensures fast power supply to each 10G Ethernet connection, for example to connect 4 Blackmagic Studio Camera 6K Pro simultaneously. Each channel has a 12G-SDI input, but there is also a 12G-SDI input for the return of the program that broadcasts on all channels.

It has 5 SDI inputs in total (4 SDI video + main PGM input), 4 SDI video outputs + 1 SDI Main Program Loop Out, 16 audio IN/OUT embedded on SDI. It includes PTP (Precision Time Protocol) clocking for precise synchronization between devices.

The addition of this converter to an existing professional SMPTE-2110 broadcast system offers the great advantage of being able to transform all video equipment into SMPTE-2110 at low cost: simply connect the device to live production switchers, recorders on disk, streaming processors, cameras, TVs and more. Using simple network cables you get the benefits of SMPTE-2110 IP video, remote power and bi-directional video, just like you would with an SDI workflow.

Features a dual internal 100 - 240 V_AC 50/60 Hz power supply for redundancy.
