Broadcast IP Conversion
The Blackmagic Design 2110 IP 8x12G SFP Converter translates 12G-SDI signals to SMPTE-2110 IP video across eight independent bidirectional channels in a 1RU chassis. Each channel includes a 12G-SDI input and a program return input that distributes one signal to all channels. The unit uses SFP sockets with 10G Ethernet ports supporting 10/100/1000/10G BASE-T for flexible fiber or copper connectivity. Auto detection handles SD, HD, Ultra HD and 4K formats with 16 channels of embedded audio on SDI and IP paths.
Facilities Building 2110 Workflows
This converter suits broadcast engineers integrating IP video into existing 12G-SDI infrastructure, especially where long-distance fiber links or multi-channel program return distribution are required. It is not for productions staying entirely in baseband SDI, for installations without 10G Ethernet switching, or for workflows needing fewer than eight simultaneous conversion paths. Teams without SFP module provisioning or SMPTE-2110 routing expertise should plan additional integration steps.
Eight-Channel Bidirectional Density
The decisive specification is eight independent 12G-SDI to 2110 IP converters in a single rack unit, each with a dedicated program return input that fans out to every channel. This density determines whether the device replaces multiple single-channel boxes and simplifies cabling for the intended truck, studio or remote production.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 12G-SDI to 2110 IP conversion is working on each of the eight channels after setup?
The front-panel color LCD shows live status for every bidirectional channel, confirming 12G-SDI input, program return, and 10G Ethernet link activity in real time.
What comes in the box and which SFP modules must I purchase separately for optical fiber connections?
The 1RU converter includes eight 12G-SDI ports and eight SFP sockets; SFP transceivers for 10G BASE-T or fiber are not included and must be sourced to match your cabling distance.
Which version should I choose if I need 16 channels of embedded audio on both SDI and IP paths?
This single model already handles 16 channels of embedded audio per channel on both 12G-SDI and ST-2110 IP, so no higher-capacity variant is required.
