Professional 8-Channel Standards Conversion
The Blackmagic UpDownCross 100G is a high-performance standards converter designed for modern IP-based broadcast environments. This powerful 1RU device allows you to simultaneously convert up to 8 separate channels of SD, HD, and Ultra HD video to any other television standard. Whether you are shielding your system from inconsistent video formats or integrating diverse sources into a unified workflow, the UpDownCross 100G provides the flexibility required for high-stakes production.
Advanced SMPTE-2110 Integration
Built for the future of broadcast, this converter features native SMPTE-2110 connections via high-speed 100G Ethernet. It supports the transport, synchronization, and description of 10-bit video, audio, and ancillary data over managed IP networks. With dual 100G Ethernet ports, the unit provides full SMPTE 2022-7 redundancy. This Seamless Protection Switching technology sends identical copies of data across two network paths, reconstructing perfect frames in real-time to prevent signal loss or audio glitches.
Precision Control and Monitoring
Managing complex IP routes is simplified with a dedicated NMOS control port, allowing the converter to appear as a single large router. The hardware is designed for reliability and ease of use, featuring a front panel LCD for visual monitoring of inputs and outputs, alongside a built-in speaker and headphone jack for audio verification. The 1RU chassis includes quiet front-to-back cooling and dual redundant AC power supplies to ensure continuous operation in professional racks.
