Blackmagic 2110 IP UpDownCross 12G

This advanced standards converter is designed for professional broadcast and live production environments that require seamless interoperability between SMPTE ST 2110 IP, 12G‑SDI and HDMI video systems. It delivers high‑quality up, down and cross conversion between virtually any SD, HD or Ultra HD format, making it a central tool for facilities transitioning between traditional baseband workflows and modern IP infrastructures. Its robust rack‑mount design and comprehensive connectivity make it suitable for permanent installations as well as mobile production units. 

The unit supports a wide range of video standards, including SD, HD, Ultra HD and DCI 4K up to 2160p60, with precise format conversion that preserves image quality and timing. Built‑in reference input and output allow incoming signals to be re‑synchronized to a common clock, ensuring stable operation in complex multi‑source environments. When working with high‑frame‑rate Ultra HD signals, the integrated Blackmagic IP10 codec is used to efficiently map 2160p59.94 and 2160p60 formats onto 10 Gb IP networks without compromising visual fidelity. 

Connectivity is extensive, with support for 12G‑SDI, HDMI 2.0 and a single 10 Gb Ethernet interface for SMPTE ST 2110 IP video. Embedded audio is carried transparently across all interfaces, with up to 16 channels supported on SDI and IP, and up to 8 channels on HDMI. Full access to ancillary data, including timecode, closed captions and HDR static metadata, ensures that all critical broadcast information is maintained throughout the conversion process. 

Operational control is handled via an integrated front panel featuring a 2.2‑inch colour LCD, rotary control and dedicated buttons. This interface provides real‑time monitoring of video, audio and status information, as well as intuitive menu access for format selection and configuration. A built‑in speaker and headphone output allow direct audio monitoring at the unit, reducing the need for additional test equipment during setup or troubleshooting. 

Designed for reliability in demanding environments, the converter includes redundant power supplies and comprehensive standards compliance, supporting Rec. 601, Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020 colour spaces. Configuration and firmware updates are handled via USB‑C or Ethernet, enabling easy integration into modern engineering workflows and remote management systems.
