Blackmagic Design Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 3x3G

1. General Overview

The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 3x3G converts three 3G-SDI devices into SMPTE 2110-compliant IP video systems by utilizing a 10G Ethernet connection capable of handling three simultaneous video channels. Each channel features independent SDI inputs and outputs, allowing connection of up to 6 different SDI devices. All 3G-SDI inputs include loop outputs, which facilitate integration into existing SDI systems, while the reference output is synchronized with the PTP 2110 clock. A stylish color LCD on the front panel provides monitoring, configuration, and diagnostic capabilities – even allowing IP input routing.
