About Blackmagic Design SDI Expander 8x12G

Blackmagic SDI Expander 8x12G is a new converter that lets customers connect all their 12G-SDI gear to the latest 100G Ethernet SMPTE-2110 IP systems. The converter supports 8 bi-directional 12G-SDI connections and has 2 separate 100G Ethernet connections allowing SMPTE-2022-7 redundancy.

Blackmagic SDI Expander 8X12G

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.
