Blackmagic SDI Expander 8x12G 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.
Engineered for hybrid SDI/IP environments, the expander supports SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to 4K60 with automatic detection, along with 16 channels of embedded audio per 2110 IP video stream. A front-panel 2.2" LCD with integrated control knob and buttons enables real-time monitoring of video, audio, and system parameters, while a built-in speaker and headphone output allow for direct audio confidence monitoring. External control is supported via a dedicated RJ45 for NMOS-based configuration and USB-C for setup and firmware updates, with dual IEC power inputs ensuring power redundancy for reliable performance.
