Blackmagic Design StudioBridge 10G PWR SMPTE 2110 IP Bridge PoE++

The Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR is a 2RU SMPTE ST-2110 IP video bridge built to connect affordable single-link 10G Ethernet equipment into high-end, fully redundant 100G broadcast networks. It converts and combines eight channels of 10G Ethernet into a redundant pair of 100G QSFP28 connections, letting you plug in up to eight separate 10G Ethernet Ultra HD devices and route them across two independent ST 2022-7 protected 2110 networks. The result is a cost-effective on-ramp that lets cameras, converters, and other 10G IP sources participate in a resilient 100G SMPTE 2110 infrastructure without compromising redundancy.

What sets the StudioBridge 10G PWR apart is power: each of the eight 10G Ethernet RJ45 ports delivers a massive 90W of PoE++, so compatible cameras, converters, and network devices can be powered directly over the same Cat 6A cable that carries their video. The bridge is bi-directional, handling both senders and receivers, and auto-detects HD and Ultra HD standards up to 2160p60 with 10-bit 4:2:2 color and 16 channels of embedded audio per stream. Full NMOS IS-04/IS-05 discovery and connection management, PTP timing, and SMPTE 2110-20/-21/-30/-40 compliance make it a true plug-and-play element in standards-based IP studios and outside broadcast trucks.

Designed for live production environments, the StudioBridge 10G PWR includes a built-in 2.2-inch LCD, spin knob, three-button control panel, headphone output, and speaker so engineers can scrub through and confirm every input directly on the front panel. Dual internal 100-240V AC power supplies on independent IEC C14 inlets provide power redundancy, while a dedicated 1G RJ45 control port handles NMOS configuration and software updates. It is an ideal choice for broadcasters scaling IP infrastructure who need 10G economy and PoE++ convenience without giving up 100G redundancy.
