Redundant 100G SMPTE-2110 studio bridge - Blackmagic Design BLM-CONVNVIPR/SBD100X2

The Blackmagic StudioBridge 100G converts a single 100G SMPTE-2110 Ethernet connection into a redundant broadcast system with dual 100G connections. It also features two 100G Ethernet connections for cameras, which can be combined to provide a total bandwidth of over 100 Gbps, allowing two cameras, such as the URSA Cine 12K 100G, to be integrated into a redundant broadcast system. It also includes a separate 10G Ethernet channel for accessories, an NMOS control port, and two redundant internal power supplies. User benefits Operational reliability thanks to full 100G redundancy and dual internal AC power supplies Easily integrate into SMPTE-2110 workflows with 2022-7 redundancy for business continuity Management of ultra-high bandwidth streams to connect 12K cameras Fast monitoring via front-panel LCD for immediate verification without external tools Future scalability with native support for HD, Ultra HD, and immersive 8K Areas of use IP broadcast production based on SMPTE-2110 with 2022-7 redundancy for business continuity Integration of URSA Cine 12K 100G cameras into high-bandwidth 100G infrastructures Connection of 100G multi-camera systems in television studios, control rooms, and live production centers Transportation of Ultra HD and immersive 8K streams over 100G networks for advanced post and live workflows Broadcast Infrastructures Redundant systems requiring dual AC power and network failover Installations in OB vans and mobile environments requiring compact 100G bridging in 1 RU Mixed 100G/10G systems with flow separation for accessories, control, and external devices
