Blackmagic Design Releases New Blackmagic 2110 IP UpDownCross 12G

The Blackmagic 2110 IP UpDownCross 12G is a new standards converter for live production and broadcast that lets customers convert between any SD, HD or Ultra HD video format via 12G-SDI, HDMI and SMPTE-2110 IP video connections. This new converter has a rack mount design with a front panel LCD for video and audio monitoring plus menus.

The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters have been designed to integrate SDI equipment into 2110 IP broadcast systems. The rack mount models can be installed in equipment racks right next to the equipment users are converting. Adding converters means customers get a low cost way to transform all their video equipment to SMPTE-2110. Simply add a Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter to live production switchers, disk recorders, streaming processors, cameras, TVs and more.

The Blackmagic 2110 IP UpDownCross 12G is a premium standards converter for live production and broadcast. It allows customers to convert between any equipment with 2110 IP video, 12G-SDI, and HDMI video connections. It's only ⅓ the rack width. Customers get the highest quality video conversion between all SD, HD, and Ultra HD video standards. It has an elegant design with an LCD display, speaker, and headphone jack. The LCD also has menus for setting the video standard, which also ensures valuable equipment is protected by always sending the correct video output signal. The USB port on the front panel even works as an HD webcam. It also has a reference input for large broadcast systems.

Blackmagic 2110 IP UpDownCross 12G features multi rate 12G-SDI connections that work with all SD, HD and Ultra HD equipment and video formats up to 2160p60, as well as Level A and B devices. The converter features one 12G-SDI input with a loop output that bypasses all processing, an HDMI 2.0 input, reference in, two 12G-SDI outputs and an HDMI 2.0 output.

The 12G-SDI connections feature built in re-sync so all conversions match the reference input video timing signal. In addition, the converter has extremely low SDI jitter and high quality multi-tap video filters. This allows customers to use longer cables to maintain the integrity of the signal for broadcast quality video. Audio is also automatically delayed based on the conversion being performed and then embedded back into the signal so it’s always perfectly synchronized with the video.

Blackmagic 2110 IP products conform to the SMPTE ST-2110 standard for IP video, which specifies the transport, synchronization and description of 10 bit video, audio and ancillary data over managed IP networks for broadcast. It can also re-sync SDI inputs to a common PTP clock or external gear can lock to the reference output that’s also generated from the PTP clock.
