Blackmagic Design 2110 IP UHD 4K UpDownCross 12G – IP Converter

Product Overview

The Blackmagic Design 2110 IP UHD 4K UpDownCross 12G Converter converts any incoming video source to the standard you're working in, bridging 12G-SDI and SMPTE ST-2110 IP video at resolutions up to UHD 4K60. This rackmount converter pairs a 10G Ethernet port for 2110 IP with a 12G-SDI input and loop output and HDMI 2.0, adds front-panel controls with a built-in monitoring speaker and headphone jack, and uses the low-latency Blackmagic IP10 codec. It occupies only one-third of 1U, making it a flexible up/down/cross converter for studio and live broadcast systems.

Product Description

This converter performs up, down, and cross conversion between SDI and 2110 IP, so an incoming source in one standard can be output in the standard your facility uses. It provides a 12G-SDI input with a 12G-SDI loop output, HDMI 2.0, and a 10G Ethernet (RJ45) port for ST-2110 video. SDI connections re-sync to the common PTP clock, and sync can be output over the built-in BNC connector, while a BNC reference input lets the unit lock to an incoming sync signal. Low SDI jitter and high-quality multi-tap video filters allow longer cable runs without losing signal integrity, and automatic audio delay keeps audio in sync with video. Front-panel controls, an LCD, a monitoring speaker, and a headphone jack support setup and monitoring, and a front USB-C port can act as an HD webcam output. The unit accepts both IEC mains and 12V DC power.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio — Standards conversion between SDI gear and a 2110 IP infrastructure.
• Auditorium — Matching mixed sources to a single working format for live events.

Technical Specifications

FAQ

What does up/down/cross conversion mean here? The converter can change resolution (up or down) and frame structure (cross) so a source in one video standard is output in the standard your facility works in.

Does it connect to a 2110 IP network? Yes. It has a 10G Ethernet port for SMPTE ST-2110 video, alongside 12G-SDI and HDMI.

Can it lock to house sync? Yes. SDI inputs re-sync to the common PTP clock, and there are BNC reference input and sync output connectors.

How is it powered? It accepts IEC mains power and 12V DC via a barrel connector.
