Blackmagic StudioBridge 100G

The Blackmagic Design StudioBridge 100G is a 1RU IP video bridge designed to integrate one or two high-bandwidth camera signals into a redundant 100G broadcast infrastructure.

It supports up to two SMPTE 2110 video channels at resolutions up to 4K60 and converts one 100GbE IP video stream or two IP video streams with a total bandwidth of less than 100 Gb/s to dual 100GbE QSFP28 outputs with SMPTE 2022-7 for uninterrupted signal delivery. Each input supports automatic format detection across HD and Ultra HD standards and up to 16 channels of embedded audio per stream, ensuring compatibility with modern IP production workflows.

The StudioBridge 100G is designed for deployment in live production and broadcast environments and offers two 10G RJ45 ports and two 10G SFP optical fiber ports for connecting additional accessories. The front 2.2" LCD display with an integrated control knob and buttons allows for real-time monitoring of video, audio, and system status, while the built-in speaker and headphone output provide immediate audio monitoring. External management is possible via a dedicated RJ45 port for NMS configuration and USB-C for settings and firmware updates, while dual IEC power inputs ensure redundant power for reliable operation.
