Blackmagic Design BMD-CONVNVIPF/IP/12G 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G Converter

Convert SDI Cameras to IP Workflows Seamlessly
The Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G is a compact bidirectional converter designed to integrate traditional broadcast cameras into SMPTE-2110 IP video environments. It allows SDI-based cameras to connect directly to IP systems using a single 10G Ethernet cable for both power and data. Supporting resolutions from SD through Ultra HD up to 2160p60, it simplifies hybrid production workflows by enabling high-quality SDI sources to function within an IP infrastructure.

Fully Compatible with NMOS Virtual Routing
This converter supports the NMOS interface specifications, making it fully interoperable with other 2110 IP devices and capable of functioning as part of a virtual routing system. When used with solutions like Blackmagic’s Videohub Smart Control, users can dynamically route IP video and audio sources without relying on traditional patching or baseband switchers. It’s built for seamless integration in complex live production networks.

Preserves High Bit Depth Image Quality
With support for 10-bit video processing, the 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G ensures all your SDI signals are converted to IP with uncompromised precision. This higher bit depth maintains four times the color accuracy compared to 8-bit video, allowing richer color gradation and fewer artifacts, especially beneficial in color grading, chroma keying, and broadcast delivery environments.

Bandwidth Efficient IP Video with the IP10 Codec
Blackmagic’s IP10 codec is integrated to solve the bandwidth limitations of 10G Ethernet when working with Ultra HD video above 30fps. This lightweight, license-free codec delivers low-latency (8-sample) performance and minimal FPGA resource usage, making it ideal for cost-effective deployments without sacrificing video quality or interoperability.

Flexible Format Support for SDI and IP Integration
Whether you're working in SD, HD, or UHD, the BiDirect 12G converter supports automatic format switching and is compatible with a wide array of broadcast standards. It ensures smooth transitions and format matching across mixed environments and multi-channel systems. Each channel can even operate in different formats, making it perfect for versatile production needs.
