Blackmagic UpDownCross 100G

The Blackmagic UpDownCross 100G is a powerful new format converter that allows customers to simultaneously convert up to 8 separate channels of SD, HD, and Ultra HD video to any other format. The converter features redundant 100G Ethernet for full SMPTE 2022-7 compatibility and a dedicated NMOS control port.

The Blackmagic UpDownCross 100G is a powerful 8-channel format converter with native SMPTE-2110 connectivity via 100G Ethernet. It allows you to simultaneously convert up to 8 separate channels of SD, HD, and Ultra HD video to any other format. The professional 1RU design features ultra-quiet front-to-back cooling. It also includes redundant 100G Ethernet for full SMPTE 2022-7 compliance, dual redundant AC power supplies, and a separate NMOS control port for connecting to control networks.

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 transmits two identical copies of video and audio over two separate network paths. This works even better when the redundant ports are connected to two separate switches. This redundancy 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.
