Blackmagic Design Ethernet Switch 360P - 16x 10G, 2x 100G Ethernet

It is designed for film and television production, enabling high-performance networking and simplified setup of SMPTE-2110 IP video systems without requiring IT expertise.

The switch features 16 x 10G Ethernet ports and 2 x 100G Ethernet QSFP sockets, allowing for a significant number of high-speed connections.

No, the integrated video router panel on the front allows for intuitive configuration of 2110 IP multicasting using familiar video routing controls, making it plug-and-play for broadcast professionals.

Placing all Ethernet connections on the rear panel ensures neatness, security, and easier cable management, as they align with the network ports on most broadcast equipment.

Yes, it can function as a high-speed Ethernet switch for general networking, but its specialized features are optimized for IP video workflows.

The HDMI output provides a visual status display for each Ethernet connection, including real-time speed graphs, link speed, and connection status, aiding in proactive issue identification.

The 100G QSFP sockets can be used with short copper cables or optical fiber QSFP modules, depending on the required distance and connection type.

Yes, the Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 360P comes with an AC power supply included for immediate use.

Ensure the AC power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet. Verify the power LED indicator is lit.

Check the Ethernet cable for damage and ensure it's properly seated on both ends. Verify the connected device is configured correctly. Check the HDMI status display for link status on the specific port.

Ensure you are using appropriate high-speed cables (e.g., Cat 6a or better for 10G). Check the HDMI status display for real-time speed graphs and look for signs of congestion or data stalls. Reduce the number of simultaneous high-bandwidth operations if possible, or consider expanding your network backbone.

Confirm that all connected devices support SMPTE-2110. Use the front panel router controls to verify source and destination selections. Ensure devices are automatically appearing in the list on the front panel; if not, try restarting the switch and connected devices.
