Blackmagic SDI Expander 8x12G, Convert 12G-SDI to 100G Ethernet IP video

Convert 12G-SDI to 100G Ethernet IP video. Converts 8 x 12G-SDI in and 8 x 12G-SDI out in all HD and Ultra HD video standards up to 2160p60. Supports redundant SMPTE-2022-7 100G Ethernet connections.

Blackmagic Design has a wide range of SMPTE-2110 IP video products, including standards converters, video monitors, audio monitors and even cameras! Plus they support Ultra HD using low cost 10G Ethernet! Most converter models are bidirectional, so they're fantastic to use on cameras when you need an extra program return! The rack mount models have an elegant design with a color LCD for monitoring, menus and diagnostics. All models conform to the SMPTE-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!

Blackmagic Design has a wide range of SMPTE-2110 equipment for building anything from small mobile racks to broadcast trucks and entire stations. There are cameras, live production switchers, Ethernet switches, standards converters, monitors and audio monitors. Compact mini-converter models work with cameras and monitors, while rack-mount equipment suits larger installations. With such a wide range, you can build a fully native SMPTE-2110 system. Plus, most 10G Ethernet models can be remotely powered! Adding converters is also a low-cost way to bring your existing gear into SMPTE-2110, including switchers, disk recorders, streaming encoders, graphics systems, cameras and televisions.

Blackmagic 2110 IP products conform to the SMPTE-2110 standard, which specifies the transport, synchronization and description of 10-bit video, audio and ancillary data over managed IP broadcast networks. They can re-sync SDI inputs to a common PTP clock, or external gear can lock to the reference output generated from the PTP clock. Supported standards include SMPTE-2110-20 for uncompressed video, SMPTE-2110-21 for traffic shaping, SMPTE-2110-30 for audio, SMPTE-2110-40 for ancillary data and many models support SMPTE-2022-7 for seamless redundancy. Plus, multicast support efficiently distributes video, audio and data from a single source to multiple destinations simultaneously.

SMPTE-2110 via 10G Ethernet

10G Ethernet is very low-cost, perfect for affordable SMPTE-2110 IP video! Add Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini models to 10G Ethernet systems for an affordable and compact solution. Plus, most models have PoE, so one cable handles both video and power!
