Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR

This rack‑mount solution is engineered for facilities transitioning high‑bandwidth SDI workflows to modern SMPTE‑2110 IP infrastructures. It provides four fully independent bidirectional conversion paths between 12G‑SDI and SMPTE‑2110 IP, allowing traditional broadcast equipment to be seamlessly integrated into managed IP networks using standard 10 Gb Ethernet. Housed in a compact 1 RU chassis, it is designed for dense installations where reliability, timing accuracy and power efficiency are critical. 

Each channel supports multi‑rate SDI operation, automatically detecting SD, HD, Ultra HD and 4K formats up to 2160p60. The converter handles uncompressed video, embedded audio and ancillary data in full compliance with SMPTE‑2110‑20, ‑21, ‑30 and ‑40, ensuring predictable traffic shaping and accurate synchronization across the network. Reclocking is built in, maintaining signal integrity when integrating legacy SDI sources into IP‑based environments.

A defining feature of this model is integrated PoE++ power delivery. Each of the four 10 Gb RJ‑45 connections can supply power to downstream PoE‑capable devices such as compatible cameras or converters, reducing the need for separate power cabling in studios or outside broadcast racks. This simplifies installation, lowers infrastructure costs and improves overall system cleanliness while maintaining enterprise‑grade network performance. 

Operational control is handled through an elegant front panel that includes a 2.2‑inch colour LCD, rotary encoder and dedicated buttons. This interface provides clear monitoring of video formats, audio, timecode and system status, along with access to menus for configuration and diagnostics. Additional management and firmware updates are supported via USB‑C and a dedicated 1 Gb Ethernet port, allowing easy integration into existing engineering workflows.

Dual internal AC power supplies and a robust thermal design support continuous operation in demanding broadcast environments. With support for high‑precision timing via PTP and NMOS compatibility for discovery and connection management, this unit is a core building block for scalable IP broadcast systems that must coexist with high‑quality 12G‑SDI infrastructure.
