Blackmagic Design - Blackmagic StudioBridge 100G

The Blackmagic StudioBridge 100G converts a single 100G SMPTE-2110 Ethernet connection into a redundant broadcast system with dual 100G connections.

It also features two 100G Ethernet connections for cameras, which can be combined to provide a total bandwidth of over 100 Gbps, allowing two cameras, such as the URSA Cine 12K 100G, to be integrated into a redundant broadcast system. It also includes a separate 10G Ethernet channel for accessories, an NMOS control port, and two redundant internal power supplies.

User benefits

• Operational reliability thanks to full 100G redundancy and dual internal AC power supplies
• Easily integrate into SMPTE-2110 workflows with 2022-7 redundancy for business continuity
• Management of ultra-high bandwidth streams to connect 12K cameras
• Fast monitoring via front-panel LCD for immediate verification without external tools
• Future scalability with native support for HD, Ultra HD, and immersive 8K
