Product Information

Full details

The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 3x3G is designed for broadcast engineers and live production professionals seeking to integrate SDI equipment into modern SMPTE ST-2110 IP video systems. Its key benefit is the seamless conversion of three independent 3G-SDI signals to 2110 IP streams, each with its own input and output, supporting up to 1080p60 video and 16 channels of embedded audio. A potential caveat is the reliance on a 10G Ethernet infrastructure for optimal performance.

FAQs

What is the maximum video resolution supported?

The converter supports video modes up to 1080p60.

Can I connect more than three SDI devices?

The converter has three independent SDI inputs and three independent SDI outputs. Each input has a loop output, meaning you can connect up to 6 unique SDI devices in total (3 inputs, 3 loop outputs).

What type of Ethernet connection does it use?

It uses a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection with an RJ-45 connector for copper cables (Cat6 or higher) or an SFP socket for optical fiber modules.

Does it support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, the RJ-45 port supports 10/100/1000/10G BASE-T and can receive power via PoE+ when connected to a compatible network switch using Cat6 copper cables.

What audio channels can it handle?

It supports up to 16 channels of embedded audio per video stream.

How is the device synchronized in an IP network?

It uses SMPTE ST-2110 standards, including support for PTP (Precision Time Protocol) for precise timing synchronization. It also features a reference output timed to the PTP clock.

What operating systems are supported for configuration?

The converter is compatible with Mac OS X 10.15 Catalina, macOS 11 Big Sur, and Windows 10.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on

Verify the external power adapter is securely connected to both the device and a working power outlet. If using PoE+, ensure your network switch supports and is configured for PoE+ output on the port used.

No video signal output to IP network

Confirm that the SDI input signal is active and at a supported resolution (e.g., 1080p60). Check the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, gateway) on the converter and ensure it matches your network settings. Verify the 10G Ethernet cable is securely connected and functioning.

Audio is missing or distorted

Ensure that the SDI input signal includes embedded audio. Check the audio channel mapping settings on the converter's front panel menu and verify that up to 16 channels are enabled if required.

Synchronization issues or dropped frames

Confirm that PTP (Precision Time Protocol) is enabled and correctly configured on both the converter and your network switch. Ensure your network is not congested and has adequate bandwidth for the video streams.

Front panel LCD is unresponsive

Try power cycling the device by disconnecting and reconnecting the power source. Ensure the front panel buttons and spin knob are clean and free of debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables smooth integration of existing SDI gear into modern IP broadcast systems.
  • Handles three independent video channels simultaneously over a single 10G Ethernet connection.
  • Front panel LCD offers convenient monitoring and control.
  • Supports full SMPTE ST-2110 compliance for professional IP workflows.
  • Offers flexible connectivity options with RJ-45 and SFP ports.

Cons

  • Requires a robust 10G Ethernet network infrastructure for optimal performance.
  • May require additional configuration for advanced PTP and NMOS integration.
  • Power consumption of 20W is typical and may vary.
  • Limited to 3G-SDI input/output; does not support higher SDI standards like 6G or 12G directly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect your 3G-SDI sources to the dedicated SDI inputs and your IP network via the 10G Ethernet port (RJ-45 or SFP). Ensure your network infrastructure supports 10Gbps speeds and SMPTE ST-2110 protocols, including PTP synchronization. Use the front panel LCD and control knob to configure IP addresses, select PTP settings, and route inputs. For power, connect the included external power adapter or utilize Power over Ethernet (PoE+) if your network switch supports it and you are using Cat6 copper cables.

Compatibility: The converter is compatible with standard SDI equipment and adheres to the SMPTE ST-2110 suite of standards. It supports common analog signal formats like NTSC and PAL, and chroma subsampling rates of 4:2:2 and 4:4:4. Supported operating systems for configuration software include Mac OS X 10.15 Catalina, Big Sur, and Windows 10.

Care: Keep the device in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing the unit to moisture or extreme temperatures (operating range: 0-40 °C). Regularly check physical connections to ensure they are secure.
