Blackmagic StudioBridge 100G

The Blackmagic StudioBridge 100G bridges a single 100G Ethernet SMPTE-2110 connection into a redundant dual 100G Ethernet broadcast system. It also has two 100G Ethernet camera connections that can be combined if total bandwidth doesn't exceed 100 Gb/s! This lets you interface two cameras such as the URSA Cine 12K 100G into a redundant broadcast system. It also includes a separate 10G Ethernet channel for accessories, an NMOS control port, and dual redundant power supplies.
