Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR

The Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR allows customers to connect 8 separate 10G Ethernet SMPTE-2110 connections to modern 100G systems with SMPTE-2022-7 redundancy. This means that up to 8 separate cameras or converters can be integrated into an IP video system via 100G Ethernet.

If devices with 10G Ethernet use a single connection, the Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR also connects them into two 100G Ethernet links for a redundant broadcast system. In addition, this converter features four separate internal power supplies, allowing it to provide 90W of PoE++ power to each 10G Ethernet port.

The Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR is designed to connect lower-cost single-port 10G Ethernet SMPTE-2110 devices into high-end redundant 100G Ethernet systems. It converts and aggregates 8 channels of 10G Ethernet into a redundant pair of 100G Ethernet connections. This means customers can connect 8 separate 10G Ethernet Ultra HD devices. Each 10G Ethernet port provides up to 90W of PoE++ power, allowing devices such as converters or cameras to be powered directly over Ethernet.

Blackmagic 2110 IP products comply with the SMPTE-2110 standard, which defines the transmission, synchronization, and description of 10-bit video, audio, and auxiliary data over managed IP broadcast networks. They can synchronize SDI inputs to a common PTP clock, or external devices can be controlled by a reference signal generated from the PTP clock.

All Blackmagic SMPTE-2110 products with 100G Ethernet, as well as some 10G models, feature two separate Ethernet ports to support redundancy. SMPTE-2110 redundancy sends two identical copies of video and audio over two separate network paths. This works even better when the redundant ports are connected to two different switches. This technology is called SMPTE 2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching. It compares incoming RTP packets on both links based on sequence numbers and then reconstructs a perfect video frame from the packet that arrives first. Switching occurs in real time and completely seamlessly, so there are no frame drops or audio errors.
