Getting Started
SMPTE ST 2110 IP is an Ethernet based broadcast solution that lets you stream video, audio and
data signals over a network. Blackmagic 2110 IP converters are 10G converters you can use to
adapt your existing SDI equipment, including cameras, switchers, monitors and disk recorders,
to fit into a 2110 IP workflow. Plus, these converters can connect directly to each other, so you
can start using 2110 IP without needing any prior IT or networking knowledge.

2110 IP Mini Converters

Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini Converters support PoE+ Power over Ethernet, so the easiest way to
start using your converter is to simply connect an Ethernet cable. If, after a few moments, the
link and activity LEDs on the Ethernet port flash then it means there is enough power available
on the Ethernet cable to power the converter. A good example is when connecting to the
Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR which has enough power to power the other smaller
Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini Converters.
So if you see lights indicating the converter is powered on, then that’s good news and now you
can plug in your video connections.
However, if there is no indication of power as the lights don’t turn on, then there is no power on
the Ethernet cable. In that case, just plug in the power connection or external DC plug pack to
power the converter. This is common if you were direct connecting an Ethernet cable between
2 Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini Converter models as the cable won’t have power.

This illustration shows a point to point connection between two Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini
converters. The camera SDI out is connected to the SDI in on the Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini
BiDirect 12G and the Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini IP to HDMI is connected to the HDMI television.
These two converters are connected point to point by a Cat 6 Ethernet cable and powered
separately using their supplied power adapters.

Plugging in Power
To power your Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini converter, plug the supplied power adapter into the
power input on the rear panel. Tightening the locking ring secures the power cable to prevent
accidental disconnection. Once powered, the LED beside the power connector will illuminate.

Blackmagic 2110 IP mini converters can also be powered using the Ethernet connection by a
PoE+ network switch or other unit that powers the Ethernet port such as Blackmagic 2110 IP

information on how to connect your Blackmagic 2110 IP converter to a 10G network switch to
share multiple video feeds over a network.

Presentation Converter
Unlike the other models of Blackmagic 2110 IP converters, the Blackmagic 2110 IP Presentation
Converter is designed to be very different. It does not just automatically convert the video
input standard to the output. Instead, it’s designed to give a specific video standard completely
independent of the video input standard. If you plug in a computer and it won’t do the video
standard the converter is set to, then the converter will standards convert the video so it always
outputs the standard you have set in the menu.
This means it can be used on a podium for a presenter’s computer and no matter what
computer is connected, it will always provide the video standard you want. Different
presenters can plug their computers in and the converter will automatically provide the correct
video standard. You can use the HDMI input, or the USB-C input for video as they are both
video inputs.
However, the USB-C port is a better option for connecting video as you don’t need an HDMI
cable. Plus the USB-C video input will also provide power back to the computer so it will
help keep the computer charged. The video and the power are both connected via a single
USB-C cable.
There are both 2110 IP video and 12G-SDI video outputs so you can connect to both IP video
and SDI video systems.
There is also an HDMI output that can be selected to be a loop out of the video input, or a
2110!IP video return feed. This is nice as the HDMI output can be connected to a video projector
and the remote switcher operator can send video to the projector using an aux output of the
switcher. This allows the switcher operator to output a slide to the projector while different
presenters are connecting their computers.
Of course, a lot of venues have projectors that are a bit old. This is worse when they are
mounted on the roof above the audience. In that case, the projector might not handle the video
standard the switcher operator has selected for the converter. That’s OK as the Blackmagic 2110
IP Presentation Converter has a second standards converter just on the HDMI output so the
projector can get the video standard it needs. All this is done automatically.

USB-C HDMI

Connecting Power
Blackmagic 2110 IP Presentation Converter also supports PoE++ power, so the first step is to
connect the Ethernet cable and see if the converter powers on. If it does, then the Ethernet
cable has enough power to run the converter. If the Ethernet switch supports PoE++ then you
will even have enough power to run the converter and the computer connected to the USB-C
port. So you won’t need a local power connection.

Setting the Video Standard

When the converter is powered for the first time you will be prompted to select your language.
Then once you have selected the language, you will be asked for the video standard. This is
the video standard the converter will use for video output and it’s the standard all inputs will be
converted to. You can set the standard now and if you want to change the video standard in the
future, then just use the menus on the front panel or the converter utility on Mac or PC.

Connecting a Computer
Connect a computer or other HDMI source to the Presentation Converter using the HDMI input.
The HDMI input will support unencrypted HD or Ultra HD video sources. This is most laptops
and professional video products such as cameras or Blackmagic ATEM Mini.
However, you can also connect video to the Presentation Converter using USB-C. This is much
better because a USB-C cable is not as stiff and bulky as an HDMI cable. Also, a lot of compact
laptop computers don’t have native HDMI connections, but they do have USB-C for external
displays, so if you want to convert to HDMI you have to use an adapter. The Presentation
Converter lets you simply connect the USB-C and the computer will output video. It even works
with a phone or tablet.
Plus, the big benefit of using USB-C is the Presentation Converter will send power back to
the computer. So you won’t have to worry about your laptop battery running down. Even if the
Presentation Converter is powered over Ethernet, the USB-C will still power the laptop.
Plug a laptop into either the front USB-C connector, or the USB-C connector on the rear panel.

If you see audio on the LCD meters and can hear it on the speaker then everything is working
well. However, on some computers the audio output will not be set to the external monitor
when connected. If this happens and you still hear sound playing via the computer speaker,
then you will need to change the computer’s audio output setting.
To change the sound output using a Mac:
1 Open System Settings from the Apple menu in the toolbar and select ‘sound’ in the left
hand column.
2 With the ‘output’ tab selected click the ‘BMD HDMI’ option to highlight.

Now when you play audio on the computer you should hear it through the converter’s front
panel speaker, and the audio meters on the LCD will move.
To change the sound output using a PC:
1 Open the settings utility and navigate to ‘system’ and then ‘sound’.
2 Using the output menu select ‘BMD HDMI’.

Now test the audio again to make sure it works.

Connecting a Projector
You can connect a projector to the HDMI output on the Presentation Converter. Because a lot
of video projectors in venues can be old, the Presentation Converter has a second standards
converter that’s just used for this HDMI output. If you are running a specific video standard that
the projector cannot handle, the HDMI output will talk to the projector, work out what video
standard it can do, and then the HDMI output video will be standards converted to something
the projector can handle.
For example, if you are working in 2160p30 and your projector also supports Ultra HD
standards, then the HDMI output video will send the native 2160p30. However, if the projector
is older and only handles HD video, then the Presentation Converter will automatically down
convert the video to an HD compatible resolution that the projector can use. This is all totally
automatic and you don’t need to adjust any settings on the projector or computer.

Program Return Video Using 2110

Because SMPTE-2110 IP video is bi-directional you can actually send video back to the
Presentation Converter. This is very helpful as you can switch the HDMI output for the projector
to this return video. By default, the HDMI output is set to the video input, but you can change it
to the 2110 return video in the menu.
This means if you have a switcher connected to the video input on a converter such as the
Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR, you can send this video back down the Ethernet
cable to the Presentation Converter and select it to send out of the HDMI output. This means
the switcher operator would be in charge of what the projector displays. Most of the time it
would just be the slides being sent back from the Presentation Converter, but the switcher
operator might like to play video clips, show websites, or even put up title slides between
presenters.
Your Blackmagic 2110 IP Presentation Converter can also be connected to a podium
microphone and speakers with settings to mix the PC video in and mic audio inputs, as well as
output a ST 2110 audio stream via the analog audio outputs.
More detailed information on the Presentation Converter including settings and available inputs
and outputs can be found later in this manual.

Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR
Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR lets you connect four 2110 IP converters via the
four bidirectional Ethernet ports. Each connection includes program return, talkback, tally and
camera control, plus enough power on each 10GbE port to power converters that support PoE.
The converter’s full width 1 rack unit design includes a control panel with LCD and supports HD
and Ultra HD standards up to 2160p60.
With power over Ethernet being an important part of the 2110 IP video workflow, some PoE
compatible broadcast video equipment and presentation setups require more power than a
standard PoE connection can provide. This is where Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR
fits in as it supports the PoE++ standard for power delivery.
This section of the manual shows you how to get started with your Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter
4x12G PWR using 4 Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters.

TIP When Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR is connected to a network switch!and
used as 4 independent bidirectional SDI to 2110 converters, pressing an output button
lets you confirm that the signal connected to the corresponding SDI port has been
converted to 2110 and is now available on the network as ST 2110 stream. For example, if
a HyperDeck’s SDI output is connected to the 12G-SDI input 1 on your converter, pressing
the button labeled OUT 1 will let you see the converted output on the LCD. This lets you
confirm the HyperDeck’s video is now available as a stream on your network.

That’s it for getting started! You have now set up a live broadcast 2110 IP video workflow to
each converter using one Ethernet cable that includes power, program return, tally, talkback
and camera control!

Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 8x12G SFP
The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 8x12G SFP has eight standard SFP sockets that support both
SMPTE 2110 IP video and regular optical SDI video. It’s both types of converter in one!
To use it as a 2110 IP video converter, insert Ethernet SFP optical modules and set the ‘optical
module type’ to Ethernet in the setup utility. If you want to use a channel as an SDI optical
converter, insert a SMPTE optical fiber module and select ‘SDI’ in the setup utility. You can
use a wide range of optical modules. For SDI, you can also use 3G, 6G or 12G SDI modules
depending on your required video standard.
There is a tab for each channel in the utility so you can set each channel to be either SDI or
Ethernet. Be sure to check these settings when setting up the converter. The converter’s full
width 1RU design includes a control panel with an LCD, and each connection supports program
return, talkback, tally and camera control.
This section of the manual shows you how to get started with your Blackmagic 2110 IP
Converter 8x12G SFP using 3 Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini SFP Converters connected to URSA

Using an Ethernet Switch
If this is your first time setting up a 10G network for streaming ST 2110 IP video, there are few
considerations you should take into account when getting started. IP media is sent in packets,
so it’s important to have a PTP aware switch to provide the timing information to synchronize
the devices connected to the network. The management of the traffic flow is covered by a
separate control system named NMOS that can be added to the network via either a software
or hardware solution.

Connecting to a Network Switch

Your network switch needs to be a managed 10G network switch that supports IGMP version
3 snooping.
Managed switches provide monitoring and control of traffic over the network and require
configuration to get started. The size of you network switch depends on how much traffic you
might need. For instance, an 8 port 10G Ethernet switch has a capacity of 160Gbps and a 16
port switch will allow up to 320Gbps.
The following 10G network switches have been tested with Blackmagic 2110 IP converters:

Manufacturer Model

Ubiquiti Enterprise XG-24

Netgear M4300-96X

Netgear M4350-40X4C

Netgear M4350-16V4C

The switch needs to be Internet Group Management Protocol, or IGMPv3 enabled. IGMP is a
communication protocol that allows the switch to route multicast data.

Using an Ethernet Switch 17

With multicasting one stream can be subscribed to by multiple outputs while only using the
bandwidth of one single stream. Each stream has it’s own multicast address that can be
configured automatically or manually via the Converters Setup utility.

PTP Grandmaster
In order to maintain timing you need a Precision Time Protocol grandmaster or PTP clock
connected to the switch. Similar to using genlock via a master sync generator for synced SDI
connections, PTP generates accurate timing and frequency to maintain the packets of ST 2110
data over the network. This ensures that all streams are synchronized.
The PTP clock is the grandmaster and all other IP video devices should be set as the ‘follower’
to ensure no timing conflicts can occur. For more information on setting your Blackmagic 2110 IP
converter as a follower, refer to the ‘setup menu’ later in this manual.

NMOS Controller
Traditional SDI connections send signals in one direction with video, audio and ancillary data
such as timecode and closed captions embedded in the one signal.
With ST 2110, the signal is split into video, audio and ancillary data elementary streams. This
provides flexibility to route video, audio or ancillary data streams independently whilst keeping
each essence stream synchronized so they can be brought back together at the end of
the workflow.
This is all achieved through timing. But how does one converter know what the other converter
is doing? This is where the Networked Media Open Specifications, or NMOS for short, is
important.
NMOS is a group of specifications that direct the flow of traffic in an IP network and manage
communications between all the endpoint devices. Once a hardware or software NMOS
controller is connected to the network you can route any or all of the elementary streams to any
endpoint on the network.
Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 360P, Videohub Master Control Pro and Videohub Smart Control
Pro can all be used as NMOS controllers for 2110 IP networks.

Blackmagic Converters Setup
Blackmagic Converters Setup is a software utility used to change settings, configure networks
and update the internal software of your Blackmagic 2110 IP converter.
First, download and install the latest Blackmagic Converters software from the Blackmagic Design
support center at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support
To use Blackmagic Converters Setup:
1 Connect your Blackmagic converter to your computer via USB.
2 Launch Converters Setup. Your converter model will be named in the utility home page.
3 Click on the circular ‘setup’ icon or the image of your Blackmagic 2110 IP converter to open
the settings. If you have more than one converter connected to the network, use the arrows
on the sides of the setup window to navigate to the converter you want to access.

Setup
Setup settings let you change the name of your converter, change network settings, displays
the current version of your converter’s internal software and view multicast output addresses.

Blackmagic Converters Setup 19

Identification Settings
Use the identification settings to enter the name and language for your converter.

Entering a custom name is helpful to identify the right Blackmagic 2110 IP converter when more
than one is connected to your network. It also provides the name for network location.
You can also identify the current software version.

Date and Time

Set your date and time automatically by ticking the box. When setting the date and time
automatically, your converter will use the network time protocol server set in the NTP field. The
default NTP server is time.cloudflare.com, but you can also manually enter an alternate NTP
server and then click on ‘set’.
If you are entering your date and time manually, use the fields to enter your date, time and time
zone. Setting the date and time correctly ensures your recordings have the same time and
date information as your network and also prevents conflicts that can occur with some network
storage systems.

Network Settings
Network Location
The network location is the name for your Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter that will appear in the
registry. This is based on the identification name at the top of the setup utility. It’s worth noting
that numeric prefixes will be ignored.

Blackmagic Converters Setup 20

Protocol
DHCP and static IP settings let you determine how your converter is connected to your network.

DHCP Blackmagic 2110 IP converters are set to DHCP by default. The dynamic host
configuration protocol, or DHCP, is a service on network servers that automatically
finds your converter and assigns an IP address. DHCP is a great service that makes
it easy to connect equipment via Ethernet and ensure their IP addresses do not
conflict with each other. Most computers and network switchers support DHCP.

Static IP When ‘static IP’ is selected, you can enter your network details manually. When
setting IP addresses manually so all units can communicate, they must share the
same subnet mask and gateway settings.

When using static IP and there are other devices on the network that have the same identifying
number in their IP address there will be a conflict and the units won’t connect. If you encounter
a conflict, simply change the identifying number in the unit’s IP address.
For example, if the conflicting address is 192.100.40.30 change the last number field to anything
other than 30. If the new number is also being used, keep changing it until you find a unique
number that isn’t being used by other equipment.

Allow utility administration

Enabling the ‘via USB’ setting limits setting changes to only the computer connected via USB.
This removes the risk of anyone on the network making accidental settings changes.

Reference Output
To change the reference output for the ref out BNC connector on the rear of the converter,
select the reference from the menu.

Reset
Click ‘factory reset’ to restore your Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter to factory settings. Once you
press ‘set’, you will be prompted to confirm your selection. To proceed, click ‘reset’.

Blackmagic Converters Setup 21

2110
The 2110 tab provides settings for routing SMPTE 2110 streams along with settings for PTP,
multicast address and identifying ancillary data.

2110 Receiver and Sender Settings

You can route incoming sources to the 2110 IP converter using the receiver settings in the
Converter Setup utility.

To route an incoming source:

1 Click on the magnifying glass to the right of the receiver field. A window will appear with all
available 2110 IP streams on the network listing both the IP node details and source label.

Blackmagic Converters Setup 22

2 Select an available stream from the list and click the ‘select’ button. The window will close
and return to the 2110 tab of the setup utility. You should now see the incoming source on
the front panel LCD display on the converter.
The sender details list the outgoing streams from the converter and the labels correspond to
the labels in the output labels tab.

PTP Clock Settings

The PTP settings let you configure the settings for the PTP grandmaster.

When connecting Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters to a 10G network switch with a PTP
grandmaster, the converter needs to be set to ‘PTP follower only’ mode to prevent a timing
conflict. If two Blackmagic IP converters are connected directly, set one to be the follower by
ticking the checkbox.

Domain Number
Enter the domain number to match that of the PTP grandmaster. This is commonly 127 but can
be changed by entering a different domain number in the field.

Master
The master address field displays the MAC address of the PTP grandmaster. This is either a
separate grandmaster unit, or a Blackmagic 2110 converter.

PTP Lock
The PTP lock field will acknowledge when the converter is locked to a PTP clock via Ethernet.

Priority
When a converter is not set to ‘PTP follower only’ it can become a PTP master. The priority of
the unit to become the master is set here. The lower the number the higher the priority.

Announce Interval and Timeout

The announce interval and timeout fields need to match the specifications of the PTP
grandmaster which transmits sync messages typically every two seconds or 2000 ms. To
change the frequency of the message, use the menu to select a different time. The ranges
available for announce interval and announce timeout will depend on your PTP grandmaster.

Blackmagic Converters Setup 23

Ancillary Data Identifier
Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters support SMPTE-2110-40 ancillary data elementary streams. This
data can include closed captions, tally, timecode and metadata. The ancillary data identifier
table indicates the type of ancillary data that is present once added.
The ancillary information will be identified by a data identifier or DID and secondary data
identifier, or SDID. The converter includes common timecode and caption data, but you can add
up to three additional identifiers.

To add an additional ancillary data identifier to the list:

1 Click on the plus sign button to add a new row.
2 Enter a name for the data. This name will be visible when routing SMPTE streams using an
NMOS controller.
3 To disable any ancillary data, deselect the corresponding box in the far right column.

Multicast Address
Each ST 2110 stream output from your Blackmagic 2110 IP converter uses a discrete multicast
address that can be found via the LCD menu. If you are using Blackmagic Converters Setup you
can view and modify the discrete address and port number for each elementary stream.

To change the multicast output address:

1 Select the output using the ‘sending from’ menu.
2 Tick the checkbox for auto or manual IP configuration.
3 Enter a new IP address and port number into the fields and click the ‘save’ button at the
lower right of the utility.

Blackmagic Converters Setup 24

Blackmagic IP10 Video Codec
You can send uncompressed ST 2110 IP video over 10G Ethernet at frame rates up to 2160p50
Ultra HD, just like on an SDI video network. For the high frame rates, like 2160p59.94 and
2160p60, you’ll need to lower the data rate enough to fit down a 10G Ethernet port. This
is where Blackmagic IP10 comes in. It’s a simple ‘codec’ that changes from pixels being an
absolute quantizing level as used in normal uncompressed video to a difference number that
shows the difference between pixels. On hard edges in the image, it can also reduce the bit
depth of these pixels because it’s not visible.
The goal is to fit a 12G-SDI signal into a 10G Ethernet port, so only a little bit of image data
needs to be removed. The big advantage of using 10G Ethernet for high frame rate Ultra HD
video is a dramatically lower cost because products can be simple and use less power. This
makes IP mini converter type products possible and the cost of Ethernet switches is also
much lower as low cost 10G Ethernet switches are very common. You can also use simple 10G
Ethernet copper cables that are already installed in a lot of buildings and you even have the
option to remote power converters over PoE.

Blackmagic 2110 IP Presentation Converter
Blackmagic 2110 IP Presentation Converter has all the features you need when doing live
production of a seminar or conference where you have presenters with slide shows, and you
want to make their slides available as a video source into a switcher. Plus, these venues and
auditoriums often have projectors installed in the ceiling so the converter also has an HDMI
output that connects to the projector. The projector HDMI output can be selected to the video
input, or even the program return from the 2110 video connection.
The video input features a standards converter so any computer that’s connected will be
converted to the video standard you set the converter to. This means you don’t need to get all
the presenter’s slide shows to put on your own AV computer as the presenters can just walk
up with their computer and plug in. No matter what crazy video standard the computer outputs,
the Blackmagic 2110 IP Presentation Converter will standards convert it to the setting on the
converter. You always get the right video standard.
Plus, if the presenter plugs into the USB-C connection, the Blackmagic 2110 IP Presentation
Converter will get video from their computer and also trickle charge their computer so the
battery does not run flat. Blackmagic 2110 IP Presentation Converter also has an HDMI input,
and the first input connected will be the input selected. But you can even change this in the
menu between auto, HDMI and USB-C settings.
Often projectors in auditoriums can be old and don’t support the latest Ultra HD video
standards. Blackmagic 2110 IP Presentation Converter has a second standards converter just
for this HDMI output so you can connect to the projector and it should just work. You can also
select the HDMI video output to be the 2110 IP video return feed, so this means a switcher
operator can manage the projector content, such as putting up a title slide when changing
between presenters and they are disconnecting and connecting a new computer. Then an aux
output of the switcher can change back the slides and the audience always sees good content
on the projector.
There are also XLR inputs for microphones and these include phantom power. There is also an
audio mixer in the Blackmagic 2110 IP Presentation Converter so you can blend the computer
audio and the XLR microphones. The XLR inputs can be selected to 2 mono inputs, or
combined as a single stereo input.
If powered speakers are installed near the presenter, there are also balanced XLR audio
outputs you can use to connect them. They include an audio delay setting to allow you to
compensate for any video delays in projectors and televisions.

Using A Presentation Converter with Program Return
The example illustration in this section shows the connections used when using the program
return feed from an ATEM switcher. As you can see, the projector would be fed from an output
of the switcher via the 2110 IP video connection and Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR.
The switcher is connected to the video input on channel 1 of the converter.
If you connect the switcher output to the PGM input of the Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G
PWR converter then all 4 2110 IP video products connected to the Ethernet connections will
get the same video program return. However, any connection on the dedicated SDI inputs will
override the PGM SDI input, so it’s best to think of the PGM input as a distribution amplifier for
SDI that’s disconnected when a video input is plugged into the dedicated SDI input. It reduces
the amount of cabling you need between the switcher and the converter.
Meanwhile, the video from the connected laptop computer is sent via the 2110 IP video
connection to the Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR and output on the channel 1 SDI
output connector. This is connected to your switcher’s SDI input. It’s worth noting that in this
diagram we are using the USB-C cable to the computer as it’s a nicer thin cable and it will
power the computer, but you can also use HDMI from any HDMI source such as a computer
or a camera.
In this diagram we also show some powered speakers that are connected to the XLR analog
audio outputs and there is an adjustable audio delay that can be used to match any video delay
on the projector. The diagram also shows a microphone that’s connected to the XLR analog
audio input. The analog audio inputs can be changed to mic or line level and they also support
phantom power.
