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

Compact Bidirectional IP Video Converter for Long-Distance Studio Setups
The Blackmagic Design 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G SFP is a professional-grade bidirectional video converter built for integrating traditional 12G-SDI broadcast cameras into SMPTE-2110 IP video systems. Designed for minimal space and maximum versatility, it provides both camera video output and program return within a single compact unit. Its SFP module interface allows connection over long distances using optical fiber, making it ideal for live production environments where extended cable runs are required without signal degradation.

Supports UHD 4K SDI Video via Long-Distance Fiber Connections
This mini converter is tailored for high-resolution video workflows, with support for SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60. Whether you're routing 12G-SDI camera signals from the field or returning program feeds to the camera, the 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G SFP handles both in one unit. Its compatibility with 10G Ethernet SFP modules and SDI optical modules—including 3G, 6G, and 12G—ensures flexibility across various infrastructure demands and production scales.

Integrated Talkback for Real-Time Crew Communication
Communication between camera operators and the production control room is seamless with the built-in 5-pin XLR talkback headset connector. A dedicated volume knob and push-to-talk button make coordination during live broadcasts clear and reliable. This talkback system operates over the IP link alongside video, eliminating the need for separate audio routing or additional cabling.

SMPTE-2110 Support with NMOS Compatibility
Built to meet the demands of IP broadcast networks, the 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G SFP conforms to SMPTE-2110 standards and supports NMOS protocol for seamless router integration. This makes it easy to control and manage multiple IP video devices from a central location using systems like Blackmagic Videohub Smart Control. The converter synchronizes to PTP timecode, enabling accurate switching and system-wide precision.

Powerful Yet Power-Efficient with PoE and DC Options
This device is powered via the included 12 VDC power supply, but it also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying deployment in tight setups without additional cabling. Its rugged, camera-mountable design is built for professional environments where mobility, durability, and functionality are critical.

Seamless IP Transition for SDI Cameras in Live Environments
From studio control rooms to mobile camera rigs, the 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G SFP allows you to bridge traditional SDI workflows with modern IP infrastructure without sacrificing signal quality or operational reliability. It’s the perfect solution for broadcasters transitioning to hybrid or fully IP-based production systems.
