Blackmagic Design StudioBridge 100G

Overview

The Blackmagic Design StudioBridge 100G is a 1 RU IP video bridge designed to integrate one or two high-bandwidth camera feeds into redundant 100GbE broadcast infrastructures. Built for live production and broadcast environments working with SMPTE 2110, it can bridge one 100GbE IP video stream or two video streams with a combined bandwidth under 100 Gb/s into dual redundant 100GbE outputs. This makes it a practical solution for connecting camera feeds into larger IP-based production systems while maintaining the reliability and signal protection required in professional workflows.

Supporting SMPTE 2110 video at up to UHD 4K60, the StudioBridge 100G offers automatic format detection across HD and Ultra HD standards, along with 16 channels of embedded audio per stream. Its dual 100GbE QSFP28 outputs support SMPTE 2022-7 redundancy for uninterrupted delivery, while the front-panel 2.2" LCD, integrated control knob and buttons, built-in speaker, and headphone output provide direct local monitoring and configuration. With additional RJ45 and SFP accessory ports, external control via 1GbE, USB-C for setup and firmware updates, and dual IEC power inputs, it is designed for dependable use in demanding IP production environments.

Core Features

• The bridge is designed to integrate one or two SMPTE 2110 camera feeds into dual redundant 100GbE broadcast infrastructures.
• It supports one 100GbE IP video stream or two IP video streams with a combined bandwidth under 100 Gb/s.

• Each stream supports 16 channels of embedded audio for comprehensive audio and video transport.
• A 2.2" LCD with control knob and buttons enables local monitoring of video, audio, timecode, and system status.
• Two RJ45 10G accessory ports and two SFP optical fiber connectors provide additional connectivity for supporting devices and workflows.
• A dedicated 1GbE control port, USB-C setup connection, and dual IEC power inputs support controlled and reliable professional operation.

Built for High-Bandwidth IP Camera Workflows

The StudioBridge 100G is intended for productions that need to bring one or two camera feeds into larger SMPTE 2110 systems without compromising bandwidth or redundancy. This makes it a strong fit for studios, live events, and broadcast environments building around 100GbE infrastructures.

Redundant Signal Delivery

With dual 100GbE outputs supporting SMPTE 2022-7, the unit is designed to maintain dependable signal transport across redundant networks. That level of protection is especially important in live environments where uninterrupted camera feeds are critical.

Monitoring and Local Control

The front-panel LCD, hardware controls, built-in speaker, and headphone output allow operators to monitor status and confirm audio directly from the unit. This helps simplify setup, troubleshooting, and day-to-day operation in technical racks and control spaces.

Accessory and Control Connectivity

Additional RJ45 and SFP accessory ports expand the unit’s usefulness in more complex system designs, while the dedicated 1GbE control port and USB-C connection support configuration, NMOS-based control, and firmware maintenance. Together with redundant AC power inputs, these features make the StudioBridge 100G well suited to continuous professional deployment.
