Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Converter 8x12G SFP

The Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Converter 8x12G SFP is a heavy-duty, rack-mount gateway designed to bridge up to eight channels of 12G-SDI equipment with a SMPTE ST 2110 IP broadcast network. By utilizing SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots, it allows for high-density, multi-channel conversion over long distances using optical fiber.

Core Functionality

  • 8-Channel Bidirectional Gateway: Simultaneously converts eight independent 12G-SDI feeds into 2110 IP streams, while also converting eight 2110 IP streams back into 12G-SDI. This effectively provides 16 channels of conversion (8 in, 8 out) in a single 1RU space.

  • Fiber Optic Support: The eight SFP cages allow for the installation of 10G optical fiber transceivers. This enables the unit to be located kilometers away from the central switch or other IP endpoints.

  • Massive Format Versatility: Each of the eight channels can handle independent video standards, ranging from SD and HD up to Ultra HD 2160p60.

Technical Features

  • Redundant Power Supplies: Features dual internal AC power supplies (100-240V), ensuring the unit remains operational even if one power circuit or cable fails.

  • Front Panel Control & Monitoring: Includes a built-in 2.2-inch color LCD for real-time video monitoring, audio meters, and system status. A physical rotary knob and button set allow for direct menu navigation and configuration.

  • Blackmagic IP10 Codec: Utilizes a visually lossless, ultra-low latency codec to ensure high-bandwidth 12G-SDI signals (like 4K60) are efficiently packed into 10G IP streams.

  • NMOS Support: Fully compliant with IS-04 and IS-05 for automatic discovery and connection management, allowing the unit to act as a virtual 8x8 router on the network.

  • PTP Synchronization: Supports IEEE 1588-2008 (PTP v2) to keep all eight channels perfectly genlocked and in sync with the facility’s grandmaster clock.

Operational Insight

This converter is the "master hub" for legacy SDI infrastructure. It is designed for machine rooms where you need to ingest multiple 4K cameras or playout servers into an IP backbone without using up a dozen individual mini-converters.

The SFP design is critical here: because 12G-SDI over copper is extremely limited in distance (roughly 70 meters), converting to IP over fiber via this unit allows you to distribute those eight 4K signals across an entire campus or stadium with zero signal degradation.
