Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Ethernet Switch 360P is designed for plug-and-play operation. Connect your devices using standard RJ-45 Ethernet cables to the rear 10G ports or utilize QSFP+ modules/cables for the 100G ports. Power the unit on using the included AC power supply. For 2110 IP multicasting, use the front panel router controls to select sources and destinations. Connect an HDMI display to the HDMI output for network status monitoring.
Compatibility: This switch is primarily designed for SMPTE-2110 IP video workflows and high-speed data transfer. It is compatible with other Blackmagic Design broadcast equipment, including HyperDeck recorders, Cloud Store Max, and DaVinci Resolve workstations. It functions as a standard high-speed Ethernet switch for general networking needs, but its advanced features are optimized for IP video. Ensure your connected devices support 10Gb/s or 100Gb/s Ethernet and, if applicable, SMPTE-2110 standards.
Care: Keep the switch in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. Avoid exposing it to dust, moisture, or extreme temperatures. Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure cables are securely connected but avoid excessive force when plugging or unplugging them. Regularly check the HDMI status display for any unusual activity or connection warnings.
