Blackmagic Studio Converter Overview
For studio usage cable management is an important topic. Instead of using three cables (Power, SDI In and Out), you can use only one 10G-Ethernet with the new Blackmagic Studio Converter.
It works pretty similarly to the Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter, just instead of the Fiber cable it uses PoE and RJ-45 cables. This allows for a much more affordable operation, because fiber technology is still very expensive. The Blackmagic Studio Converter allows for 12G-SDI In and Output and camera power. Tally data and headset data gets also transmitted over the Ethernet cable. The device is rack-mountable and features a built-in speaker and a headphone socket just like the newly announced HyperDeck units. When using the cameras in HD, you can also use 1G-Ethernet cables.
