Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 820 product description
High-Performance 100G Broadcast Networking
The Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 820 is a low-latency, high-performance network switch specifically engineered for the demands of the television industry. Designed for seamless integration into SMPTE-2110 IP video workflows, this model features 8 x 100G QSFP ports and 2 x 10G Ethernet ports, providing the massive bandwidth required for high-resolution recording and live production environments.
Advanced Synchronization and Control
Reliability is paramount in live broadcast. The Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 820 includes two redundant PTP clock inputs to maintain precise timing across your entire network. If one clock fails, the second takes over instantly to prevent on-air glitches. Additionally, a dedicated NMOS control port ensures management traffic remains separate from your video and audio data, preventing bandwidth competition and simplifying device discovery.
Built for Professional Broadcast Racks
Unlike standard IT switches, this unit is designed with a broadcast-friendly layout. All network connections are located on the rear to match your other equipment, while the front panel features an LCD for simple routing and status monitoring. The quiet, front-to-back cooling system utilizes six redundant fans, making it ideal for use in broadcast trucks and compact racks.
