UpDownCross 12G unifies video standards in control rooms, OB vans and studios. It converts SD, HD and Ultra HD up to 2160p60, including standards conversion and synchronisation to a reference signal.

One 12G-SDI input with loop output, two SDI outputs, HDMI 2.0 input and output, and 10G Ethernet make it possible to join sources across an infrastructure. Multi-rate SDI supports SD, 1.5G, 3G, 6G and 12G; for 2160p59.94 and 2160p60, the unit uses the Blackmagic IP10 codec over 10G IP.


Reference In/Out enables built-in re-sync. SMPTE ST 2110 support includes PTP v2/ST 2059 and NMOS discovery and connection management. The front panel provides a 2.2-inch LCD, spin knob, speaker and 6.35 mm headphone output; USB-C is used for configuration and updates.
The original technical description correctly highlights live-production and broadcast use: the unit bridges established SDI equipment with SMPTE ST 2110 IP systems and works across familiar HD and Ultra HD television standards on one 12G-SDI BNC link.
The IP stream carries 16 channels of embedded audio, SDI uses 16 embedded channels and HDMI uses 8 embedded channels. Blackmagic also specifies access to ST 2110-40 ancillary data including RP 188/SMPTE 12M-2, closed captions and static HDR metadata. Automatic audio delay keeps sound aligned with picture during conversion.
