Blackmagic Design StudioBridge 10G PWR

Overview

The Blackmagic Design StudioBridge 10G PWR is a 2 RU IP video bridge designed to aggregate multiple 10G SMPTE 2110 video streams into a high-bandwidth redundant 100G broadcast infrastructure. Built for live production, studio, and broadcast environments, it accepts up to eight 10GbE IP video inputs and converts them to dual 100GbE QSFP28 outputs with SMPTE 2022-7 redundancy, making it a strong solution for facilities that need reliable, high-density camera and device connectivity in modern IP-based workflows.

Supporting up to eight channels of SMPTE 2110 video at resolutions up to UHD 4K60, the StudioBridge 10G PWR is designed to simplify integration of multiple IP sources while maintaining professional broadcast reliability. Each input supports automatic format detection across HD and Ultra HD standards, along with 16 channels of embedded audio per stream. The front-panel 2.2" LCD, control knob, and buttons provide direct access to monitoring and configuration, while the built-in speaker and headphone output make it easy to confirm audio on the unit itself.

One of the key advantages of this model is its ability to power connected devices directly. Each of the eight 10GbE RJ45 inputs supports up to 90W of PoE++, allowing compatible cameras, converters, and other downstream devices to be connected and powered over a single cable. Combined with a dedicated RJ45 control connection, USB-C setup and firmware support, and dual redundant IEC power inputs, the StudioBridge 10G PWR is well suited to professional deployments that demand both efficiency and resilience.

Core Features

• The bridge converts up to eight 10GbE SMPTE 2110 video streams into dual 100GbE outputs for high-density professional IP workflows.
• Dual 100GbE QSFP28 outputs support SMPTE 2022-7 redundancy for uninterrupted signal delivery across broadcast IP infrastructures.
• Each of the eight 10GbE RJ45 inputs provides up to 90W of PoE++, allowing connected devices to receive power and data over a single cable.
• The unit supports HD and Ultra HD video formats up to 4K60 with automatic format detection for easier system integration.
• Each input supports 16 channels of embedded audio, helping maintain complete audio and video transport within SMPTE 2110 environments.
• A 2.2" front-panel LCD with integrated control knob and buttons enables local monitoring of video, audio, timecode, and system status.
• The built-in speaker and headphone output support direct audio confidence monitoring during setup and operation.
• A dedicated RJ45 control port, USB-C setup connection, and dual IEC C14 power inputs support reliable long-term professional deployment.

Built for Dense IP Camera Workflows

The StudioBridge 10G PWR is designed for productions that need to bring multiple 10G camera or device feeds into a centralized 100G backbone. This makes it especially useful in studio and broadcast systems where numerous SMPTE 2110 sources need to be aggregated efficiently into higher-bandwidth infrastructure.

PoE++ Power over a Single Cable

With up to 90W of PoE++ available on each 10GbE RJ45 input, the unit can simplify cabling and deployment by powering compatible connected devices directly. This can reduce the need for separate power runs and help keep installations cleaner in both fixed and mobile production environments.

Monitoring and Control

The front-panel display and hardware controls make it easy to view system status and configure the unit without relying entirely on external software. Audio can also be checked directly from the built-in speaker or headphone output, while RJ45 and USB-C connections support control, setup, and firmware maintenance.

Reliable Broadcast Operation

Redundant 100GbE outputs with SMPTE 2022-7 support and dual AC power inputs help the StudioBridge 10G PWR meet the reliability expectations of continuous professional use. Its 2 RU form factor and broad SMPTE 2110 compliance make it a practical building block for robust IP-based broadcast systems.
