Blackmagic Design BMD-DWCSWA/MODC360P - Ethernet Switch 360P

Professional IP Video Routing Without the IT Complexity

The Blackmagic Design Ethernet Switch 360P is built for video professionals who need robust IP video networking without the overhead of IT configuration. Designed with 16 10GbE ports and two high-speed 100GbE QSFP connections, this compact yet powerful switch supports SMPTE 2110 video and functions as both a high-performance switch and an intuitive video router. It allows you to manage complex multicast configurations right from the front panel using familiar broadcast controls.

Designed for SMPTE 2110 IP Video Workflows

This switch integrates seamlessly into IP-based video production environments using SMPTE 2110 standards. It can manage uncompressed video, audio, and ancillary data through its 10G and 100G ports, ideal for connecting multiple DaVinci Resolve workstations, HyperDeck ISO recorders, and Blackmagic Cloud Store Max storage. The front panel layout makes routing video signals straightforward, replacing the need for IT-trained operators with broadcast-friendly controls.

Built-In Router Controls with Front Panel Interface

The front panel mirrors the interface of traditional video routers, with a spin knob, LCD screen, shortcut buttons, and a familiar "take" button layout. Instead of diving into network configuration menus, users can scroll through connected IP sources, select a destination, and connect them instantly. The switch automatically handles the multicast settings in the background, enabling fast and efficient workflows in live production or post.

Rear-Panel Connectivity Simplifies Cable Management

All 18 Ethernet ports are positioned on the back for neat cabling, supporting clean installations in fly kits, control rooms, or mobile production vans. Sixteen 10GbE RJ45 ports offer easy connections to ISO recorders, editing workstations, and control systems. The two 100GbE ports can be used for backbone networking, connecting multiple switches, or linking to high-capacity shared storage via copper or optical fiber.

Real-Time Port Monitoring with HDMI Output

Monitoring bandwidth and connection status is vital for critical workflows. The Ethernet Switch 360P includes an HDMI output that displays a real-time visual dashboard of each port’s activity. This includes link speed, current data throughput, and bandwidth graphs for proactive issue detection. Port performance can be observed at a glance on any connected monitor, ensuring stable operation during recording or playout.

Efficient System Labeling and Device Identification

Connected 2110 IP devices are automatically recognized and displayed in alphabetical order on the front panel screen, allowing for quick visual identification. This plug-and-play approach removes the guesswork from connecting and managing devices on large-scale IP video networks, making the Ethernet Switch 360P ideal for environments with frequently changing equipment.
