Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Mini IP to HDMI SFP
The Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Mini IP to HDMI SFP is a specialized receiver designed to de-encapsulate SMPTE ST 2110 IP video streams and convert them to an HDMI output for monitoring. By utilizing an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) cage, this unit allows for high-bandwidth video transmission over long distances via optical fiber.
Core Functionality
-
IP Monitoring Gateway: Allows professional IP broadcast signals to be viewed on standard HDMI televisions, projectors, or computer monitors.
-
Long-Distance Connectivity: The SFP slot enables the use of 10G optical fiber transceivers, supporting cable runs ranging from hundreds of meters to several kilometers, far exceeding the 100m limit of copper Ethernet.
-
Visually Lossless Quality: Uses the Blackmagic IP10 codec to deliver 10-bit uncompressed-quality video with extremely low latency over a 10G network.
Technical Features
-
SFP Flexibility: The open SFP slot allows the user to choose between Single Mode or Multi Mode optical fiber modules based on the facility's existing infrastructure.
-
Precision Sync: Full support for PTP (Precision Time Protocol) ensures the HDMI output is perfectly genlocked with the rest of the broadcast network.
-
NMOS Support: Complies with IS-04 (Discovery) and IS-05 (Connection Management), allowing it to be managed as a virtual crosspoint within an IP video matrix.
-
Compact Form Factor: Rugged, aircraft-grade aluminum design is small enough to be mounted directly behind a display.

Operational Insight
This model is the ideal solution for stadium, campus, or large-scale studio environments where monitoring points are located far from the central machine room. Unlike the RJ45 model, the SFP version does not support PoE++, as optical fiber does not carry electrical current. It must be powered via the included 12V DC supply, but it provides the ultimate immunity to electromagnetic interference in high-RF environments.
