Blackmagic Design StudioBridge 10G PWR

Features

The Blackmagic Design StudioBridge 10G PWR from Blackmagic Design is a professional 2 RU IP video bridge for SMPTE ST-2110 workflows. The system converts multiple 10G Ethernet video streams into redundant 100G broadcast connections and offers integrated PoE++ power for cameras and IP equipment.

• SMPTE ST-2110 IP video bridge

• Supports up to 8 simultaneous video streams

• UHD 4K60 support

• Conversion from 10GbE to redundant 100GbE connections

• SMPTE 2022-7 redundancy support

• 8x 10G RJ45 inputs with PoE++

• Up to 90W power supply per port

• 10-bit 4:2:2 video processing

• Support for Rec.709 and Rec.2020

• 16 embedded audio channels per stream

• Front panel LCD monitoring display

• Built-in speaker and headphone output

• NMOS network management support

• Redundant power supply via dual IEC connectors

Operation

The StudioBridge 10G PWR receives up to eight SMPTE ST-2110 IP video streams via 10G Ethernet and converts them to redundant 100GbE QSFP28 outputs for use within professional broadcast networks.

Each RJ45 port supports PoE++ up to 90 watts, allowing compatible cameras, converters, and other network devices to be powered directly via the same Ethernet cable.

The system supports SMPTE 2022-7 redundancy, where video streams are transmitted via dual network paths for maximum reliability during live productions.

Operators can monitor real-time video, audio, and system information via the built-in LCD screen. The integrated speaker and headphone output enable direct audio control.

Application

The Blackmagic Design StudioBridge 10G PWR is suitable for:

• SMPTE ST-2110 broadcast workflows

• Live television productions

• Remote production environments

• IP-based studio infrastructures

• UHD 4K live workflows

• Camera integration via 10G Ethernet

• PoE++ powered IP cameras and converters

• Broadcast backbone networks

• Redundant 100G infrastructures

Due to the combination of network conversion and PoE++ power supply, this system is ideal for modern IP-based productions.

Limits

• No built-in switcher functionality

• Requires SMPTE ST-2110 infrastructure

• No wireless connectivity

• No touchscreen operation

• Primarily designed as an IP video bridge
