Blackmagic Design - Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G

Bidirectional 12G-SDI converter designed to convert signals from SDI broadcast cameras to SMPTE-2110 IP and to manage SDI program return in a single device, allowing the integration of SDI devices into 2110 IP broadcast systems. The CAT-6 copper cables allows the creation of SMPTE-2110 systems at significantly lower costs, thanks to their simplicity and the widespread diffusion of 10G Ethernet switches.

Its 12G-SDI connection supports SD, HD and Ultra HD standards up to 2160p 60. It also features a 5-pin XLR headphone connection for talkback allowing two-way communication between the director and on-set crew, with control of the volume and "Push to talk" button.

It connects and powers via 10G Ethernet or via the included DC power supply.
