Blackmagic Design SDI Expander 8x12G

Blackmagic Design SDI Expander 8x12G (CONVNVIPP/EX10012G8) converts in 2 directions at the same time. It converts 8 independent channels of 12G-SDI to SMPTE-2110, while simultaneously converting a separate set of 8 channels of SMPTE-2110 back to 12G-SDI. That’s 16 channels of conversion in a single rack unit. The SMPTE-2110 connections use two 100G Ethernet ports for full SMPTE-2022-7 redundancy. There is also a separate NMOS control Ethernet port and dual redundant AC power supplies for reliable broadcast operation.

All Blackmagic SMPTE-2110 products with 100G Ethernet, plus some 10G Ethernet models have 2 separate Ethernet ports to support redundancy. SMPTE-2110 redundancy sends two identical copies of their video and audio across two separate network connections. This works even better when the redundant Ethernet ports are connected to separate Ethernet switches. This redundancy is called SMPTE 2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching. It compares incoming RTP packets on both connections by sequence number, then reconstructs a perfect video frame from whichever packet of pixels arrives first. The switchover is real-time and totally seamless, so customers never get dropped frames or audio glitches.
