BLACKMAGIC DESIGN ANNOUNCESNEW BLACKMAGIC STUDIOBRIDGE 10G PWR

  New converter allows customers to connect and power up to   8 x 10G Ethernet 2110 IP channels into redundant 100G Ethernet systems.

NAB 2026, Las Vegas, USA - Monday, April 13, 2026 - Blackmagic Design today announced Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR, which lets customers bridge 8 separate 10G Ethernet SMPTE-2110 connections into modern 100G SMPTE-2022-7 redundant systems. This means it’s possible to combine up to 8 separate cameras or converters into a 100G Ethernet IP video system. If the 10G Ethernet products use a single connection, then the Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR will also bridge into the 2 x 100G Ethernet connections for a redundant broadcast system. Plus this converter has 4 separate internal power supplies so it can provide each of the 10G Ethernet connections with 90W PoE++ power. Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR will be available in June from Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide for US$2,495.

The Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR will be demonstrated on the Blackmagic Design NAB 2026 booth #N2502.

The Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR is designed to bridge low-cost single link 10G Ethernet SMPTE-2110 connections into high-end redundant 100G Ethernet based systems. It converts and combines 8 channels of 10G Ethernet into a redundant pair of 100G Ethernet connections. That means customers can plug in 8 separate 10G Ethernet Ultra HD devices. Each 10G Ethernet port has a massive 90W of PoE++ power, so customers can power equipment such as converters and cameras directly from their Ethernet connections.

Blackmagic 2110 IP products conform to the SMPTE-2110 standard, which specifies the transport, synchronization and description of 10-bit video, audio and ancillary data over managed IP broadcast networks. They can re-sync SDI inputs to a common PTP clock, or external gear can lock to the reference output generated from the PTP clock.

All Blackmagic SMPTE-2110 products with 100G Ethernet, plus some 10G Ethernet models have 2 separate Ethernet ports to support redundancy. SMPTE-2110 redundancy sends two identical copies of their video and audio across two separate network connections. This works even better when the redundant Ethernet ports are connected to separate Ethernet switches. This redundancy is called SMPTE 2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching. It compares incoming RTP packets on both connections by sequence number, then reconstructs a perfect video frame from whichever packet of pixels arrives first. The switchover is real-time and totally seamless, so customers never get dropped frames or audio glitches.

"Our 10G Ethernet 2110 IP products are a really affordable way to build live production systems, but the problem is always how to connect them into larger redundant 100G broadcast systems," said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO. "The StudioBridge 10G PWR solves that problem and the really exciting thing is that it’s powerful enough to connect and power 8 Studio Cameras from a single converter. That’s a lot of power and we think customers are going to love how simple it makes building large scale camera systems with full redundancy!"
