This professional network bridge is designed for broadcasters who want to scale IP‑based workflows efficiently without sacrificing redundancy or power delivery. It connects up to eight independent 10G Ethernet SMPTE‑2110 devices and aggregates them into a high‑performance 100G Ethernet backbone. This makes it ideal for facilities transitioning from smaller IP endpoints to large, fully redundant core networks while maintaining compatibility with modern broadcast standards.
The unit combines eight single‑link 10G SMPTE‑2110 connections into a pair of redundant 100G Ethernet links, fully compliant with SMPTE‑2022‑7 seamless protection switching. This allows multiple cameras or converters to be integrated into a resilient IP infrastructure, ensuring continuous operation even in the event of a network failure. When connected to separate Ethernet switches, the system delivers true hitless redundancy with no dropped frames or audio interruptions.
A key advantage of this bridge is its integrated power delivery. Each 10G Ethernet port provides up to 90 W of PoE++, making it possible to power cameras, converters and other compatible devices directly over the network connection. Four independent internal power supplies ensure stable and reliable operation, even in demanding broadcast environments where uptime is critical. This significantly reduces the need for external power adapters and simplifies cabling in studios and OB installations.
Designed for professional racks, the hardware uses a robust chassis with efficient front‑to‑back cooling to maintain consistent performance under continuous load. A front panel LCD provides clear monitoring of network and signal status, while integrated speaker and headphone outputs allow quick audio confidence checks without additional equipment. Dedicated NMOS control connectivity enables seamless routing and management within larger SMPTE‑2110 systems.
By bridging cost‑effective 10G IP endpoints into a powerful and redundant 100G environment, this solution simplifies system design and future expansion. It is an essential building block for scalable IP studios that demand reliability, flexibility and clean power integration in a single device.
