Blackmagic SDI Expander 8X12G

$3,295.00

The Blackmagic SDI Expander 8x12G is a massive, broadcast-grade bidirectional format converter designed to seamlessly bridge traditional 12G-SDI baseband infrastructure with ultra-high-bandwidth 100G Ethernet SMPTE-2110 IP networks. Housed in a compact 1RU chassis, this powerhouse can simultaneously convert 8 independent channels of 12G-SDI to IP while converting a separate set of 8 IP channels back to 12G-SDI, delivering an astonishing 16 channels of 4K60 routing in a single rack unit.

What makes this high-density expander indispensable for modern live production and facility integration is its incredible uncompressed processing and mission-critical reliability. Utilizing dual 100G QSFP28 connections, it provides full SMPTE-2022-7 hitless redundancy to prevent broadcast interruptions. Complete with a dedicated NMOS control port, a front-panel color LCD for instant video diagnostics, and dual redundant AC power supplies, it is the ultimate edge-device for normalizing massive volumes of camera feeds and untangling BNC cables in high-end IP broadcast facilities.
