Blackmagic Design Bidirectional 16-channel 12G-SDI to SMPTE-2110 converter, dual 100G Ethernet for full 2022-7 redundancy, front
FEATURES
The SDI Expander 8x12G is a bidirectional converter designed to integrate 12G-SDI equipment into 100G Ethernet-based IP infrastructures and SMPTE-2110 standards. The device simultaneously handles 8 channels of 12G-SDI to SMPTE-2110 conversion and another 8 channels in the opposite direction, for a total of 16 independent conversions in a single 1U rack unit.
The two 100G Ethernet ports ensure full SMPTE-2022-7 redundancy, with seamless switching based on RTP packet comparison and real-time video frame reconstruction, preventing any loss of frames or audio glitches even in the event of a network failure.
The front panel integrates an LCD display for source monitoring, a speaker, and a headphone output for immediate audio control, while redundant dual AC power supplies ensure operational continuity in mission-critical broadcast environments.
Thanks to the dedicated NMOS connection, the device easily integrates into IP routing systems, simplifying SMPTE-2110 source management and reducing the cabling complexity typical of traditional SDI installations.
