Technical Overview
How the StudioBridge 10G PWR works in a live IP broadcast environment
The Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR solves a real problem in SMPTE-2110 IP broadcast infrastructure: how to connect affordable 10G edge devices — cameras, converters, monitors — into a high-reliability redundant 100G backbone without expensive managed switching hardware. It takes up to eight independent single-link 10GBASE-T SMPTE-2110 streams and aggregates them into a pair of fully redundant 100GbE uplinks, fully compliant with SMPTE-2022-7 seamless protection switching.
Each of the eight RJ-45 10GbE ports delivers 90W of PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) — enough to run a Blackmagic Design Studio Camera from the same cable carrying the video signal. In practice, that means one Cat 6A run per camera position handles both power and SMPTE-2110 10G signal. No separate power bricks, no extra cabling at camera positions. Four internal power supply modules distribute the load, while dual redundant AC inputs protect against mains supply failure.
A dedicated NMOS IS-04 / IS-05 control port integrates directly into IP routing environments. Route sources from any compliant router panel without additional middleware or gateway hardware. The front panel 2.2-inch color LCD with rotary control knob gives local engineers real-time video, audio, and system status without needing remote access.
Supported Video Formats
HD, Ultra HD, and SMPTE-2110 IP standards
Auto-detects HD and Ultra HD formats on all inputs. Supports the complete SMPTE-2110 suite — uncompressed video (ST 2110-20), traffic shaping (ST 2110-21), audio (ST 2110-30), ancillary data (ST 2110-40) — plus ST 2022-7 redundant delivery. Full ancillary data pass-through includes timecode, closed captions, and AFD. Colorimetry: Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020.

Key Features
Six reasons broadcast engineers choose the StudioBridge 10G PWR
8 × 10GbE inputs with 90W PoE++ power
Each RJ-45 port supports 10GBASE-T at 10/100/1G/10G and delivers 90W via IEEE 802.3bt (4PPoE). That is enough to run a full Blackmagic Studio Camera over a single Cat 6A cable — no separate power supply at the camera position.
Dual redundant 100GbE output, SMPTE-2022-7
Two independent 100GbE uplinks carry identical streams simultaneously. SMPTE-2022-7 hitless protection switching means a single path failure causes zero visible frame disruption on air — the surviving path takes over automatically.
NMOS IS-04 / IS-05 dedicated routing port
The dedicated NMOS control port plugs directly into IS-04 resource discovery and IS-05 connection management environments. Route IP video sources from any compliant broadcast router panel — no middleware, no additional gateway hardware.
Front panel LCD, speaker, and headphone output
The 2.2-inch color LCD with rotary control knob displays real-time video, audio level metering, and system status. A built-in speaker and 3.5mm headphone output let engineers confidence-check audio immediately at the rack — no laptop required.
4 internal PSUs with dual redundant AC inputs
Four separate internal power supply modules provide the current headroom to sustain 90W across all eight ports at once. Two independent AC inputs with automatic failover ensure the unit stays up even when one mains circuit fails.
Auto HD and Ultra HD detection up to 2160p60
Handles the full format range from 720p50 through 2160p60, including 1080PsF. Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020 colorimetry with full ancillary data pass-through. Format changes are auto-detected — no manual selection required during live production.
Real-World Context
Why the StudioBridge 10G PWR matters for SMPTE-2110 IP broadcast infrastructure
Anyone who has built out a SMPTE-2110 IP facility around 10G Ethernet gear knows what happens when you try to connect those devices into a larger redundant 100G backbone: you either buy a broadcast-grade managed switch at significant cost, or you start patching together converters in ways that introduce single points of failure and latency. Neither is ideal for a live production environment where an on-air failure is not an option.
The Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR sits in that exact aggregation layer. Eight 10G edge devices in — cameras, converters, or any SMPTE-2110 compliant source — two fully redundant 100G paths out, all at a price point that makes the per-port economics straightforward to justify. At $2,495 with 90W PoE++ on all eight ports, it is among the most cost-effective SMPTE-2110 aggregation bridges available for professional broadcast.
It integrates natively with the full range of Blackmagic Design SMPTE-2110 IP video products — including the Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter range, Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 820, and the URSA Studio Camera family. If you are scaling an existing 10G SMPTE-2110 system or building a new IP production facility around the Blackmagic Design ecosystem, this is the bridge that connects your 10G edge to your 100G core cleanly and reliably.
Use Cases
Where the Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR is used in production
Outside broadcast with single-cable camera power over Ethernet
Each camera position runs one Cat 6A cable back to the StudioBridge. That cable carries 90W of camera power and the 10G SMPTE-2110 video feed — eliminating separate power distribution at remote positions. The aggregated redundant 100G output feeds the truck's central switching core.
Migrating 10G SMPTE-2110 edge gear into a 100G broadcast backbone
Facilities with existing 10G SMPTE-2110 endpoints can use the StudioBridge as the aggregation point to a new 100G core — without replacing any edge equipment. NMOS IS-04/IS-05 support integrates into the existing routing control layer without reconfiguration.
Large-venue multi-camera live production in arenas and stadiums
Up to eight Studio Cameras powered and connected from a single 2RU rack unit at a central position. Significantly reduces cabling infrastructure at large venues — fewer cable runs, fewer failure points, less setup time at stadiums, arenas, and houses of worship.
High-channel-count 4K SMPTE-2110 streaming and recording ingest
Eight simultaneous 4K60 10-bit SMPTE-2110 streams aggregated into a protected 100G ingest path. SMPTE-2022-7 path protection ensures a single network failure does not interrupt a live multi-camera streaming or recording output.
