It converts eight independent channels of 12G-SDI to SMPTE-2110 while simultaneously converting a separate set of eight SMPTE-2110 streams back to 12G-SDI, delivering 16 channels of conversion at once. That makes it an ideal gateway for facilities migrating live production, broadcast, and post workflows from baseband SDI routing to uncompressed IP video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for mission-critical operation, the SDI Expander 8x12G uses two 100G QSFP28 connections that support SMPTE ST 2022-7 redundant delivery of IP streams across two separate 2110 networks, so a single network fault never interrupts the signal. A dedicated 1G RJ45 control network handles NMOS discovery, configuration, and firmware updates, while dual redundant internal AC power supplies keep the unit running for 24\/7 broadcast environments. It supports all SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60 with 10-bit 4:2:2 YUV color precision and 16 channels of embedded audio per video stream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA front panel 2.2-inch color LCD with a three-button control panel and spin knob lets operators scrub between every available input and monitor video, audio levels, video standard, timecode, and menu settings directly on the unit. A built-in monitor speaker and 6.35mm headphone jack provide instant audio confidence checks. With full NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 support, PTP\/ST 2059 timing, and the optional Blackmagic IP10 codec for 2160p60, the SDI Expander 8x12G is a professional, standards-compliant tool for high-density SDI-to-IP integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBidirectional conversion: 8x 12G-SDI to SMPTE-2110 and 8x SMPTE-2110 to 12G-SDI simultaneously (16 channels) in 1RU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 100G QSFP28 ports with SMPTE ST 2022-7 redundant IP stream delivery across two 2110 networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports all SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60 at 10-bit 4:2:2 with automatic SDI standard detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 channels of embedded audio per 2110 IP video stream and on every SDI input\/output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in 2.2-inch color LCD, 3-button control panel, and spin knob for input scrubbing and menu setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront panel monitor speaker plus 6.35mm headphone jack for instant audio monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 support with PTP IEEE 1588-2008 and ST 2059 timing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual redundant 100-240V AC internal power supplies and dedicated 1G RJ45 NMOS control network\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSDI Video Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 x 12G-SDI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSDI Video Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 x 12G-SDI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSDI Rates:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5G, 3G, 6G, 12G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100G IP Networks:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 100G QSFP28, SMPTE ST 2022-7 redundancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl Network:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 1G RJ45 for NMOS control, configuration and firmware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSDI Color Precision:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-bit 4:2:2 YUV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltra HD Standards:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 2160p60 (23.98\/24\/25\/29.97\/30\/50\/59.94\/60)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHD Standards:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720p50\/59.94\/60, 1080i50\/59.94\/60, 1080p23.98-60, 1080PsF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 channels embedded per 2110 IP stream and on SDI I\/O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP Video Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e SMPTE ST 2110-20\/-21\/-30\/-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiming:\u003c\/strong\u003e IEEE 1588-2008 PTP v2, ST 2059-1, ST 2059-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in 2.2 inch color LCD with speaker and 6.35mm headphone jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x IEC C14, 2 x 100-240V AC 50\/60Hz internal redundant supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 rack unit (1RU)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 to 40 C (41 to 104 F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackmagic SDI Expander 8x12G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelcome wallet with QR code for software download\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Blackmagic Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46366896947397,"sku":"BMD-BMDCONVNVIPPEX10012G8","price":3295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/Blackmagic-SDI-Expander-8x12G-Angle_600x_dfb68894-1dd3-4930-8259-e89060bc3b24.jpg?v=1781557907","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/blackmagic-design-sdi-expander-8x12g-12g-sdi-to-smpte-2110-ip-converter","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
