This compact rack‑mount converter is designed to make the transition from baseband video to IP both simple and reliable for professional broadcast facilities. It allows existing SDI equipment to connect directly to modern 100G Ethernet SMPTE‑2110 networks without redesigning the entire signal chain. By combining high channel density with full redundancy, it provides a practical upgrade path for studios, OB trucks and central equipment rooms.
The unit performs simultaneous bidirectional conversion, handling eight independent 12G‑SDI channels to SMPTE‑2110 IP while at the same time converting eight IP channels back to 12G‑SDI. This results in sixteen channels of real‑time conversion in a single 1RU device, dramatically reducing rack space and cabling complexity. SDI connections automatically switch between SD, HD and Ultra HD formats, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of broadcast equipment.
To meet the reliability demands of live production, the IP side features dual 100G Ethernet ports with full SMPTE‑2022‑7 seamless protection switching. Identical video and audio streams are transmitted across two independent network paths, allowing the system to reconstruct perfect frames from whichever packets arrive first. This process is fully automatic and occurs in real time, eliminating dropped frames or audio glitches even during network faults. For optimal resilience, the redundant ports can be connected to separate Ethernet switches.
Control and integration are equally robust. A dedicated NMOS Ethernet port enables modern IP routing and device management, making it easy to integrate into larger SMPTE‑2110 installations. Dual redundant AC power supplies further enhance operational security, ensuring continuous operation in critical broadcast environments. The 1RU chassis is engineered for professional racks, helping to reduce clutter and improve airflow in dense installations.
By acting as a clean breakout between SDI and IP domains, this converter simplifies system expansion, cable management and future upgrades. It is especially well suited for pairing with IP‑native switchers, recorders and network storage, providing a smooth and dependable bridge between established workflows and next‑generation broadcast technology.

Good shelves for the price can be challenging to install correctly
Size: 16 Inch, Color: White, Size: 16 Inch, Color: White
Good quality shelves for the price. Happy with the purchase. They give you assorted hardware to mount each shelf. Wall anchors for masonry or brick and anchors for drywall as well as screws to affix shelf to the wall bracket. The installation was fairly easy but it can be a bit difficult to get the bracket leveled on the wall. The “level” they give you is useless, it is only the tube - not in a housing, so 1 1/2” long. You will need a better level. Basically you place the bracket where you want the shelf to go then make sure it is level and take a pencil to mark the holes. We ended up using a heavier quality wall anchor so only needed 2 anchors instead of the four they send you. Once the bracket is on, slide the shelf onto the bars coming from the bracket and use the 2 set screws to secure it in place. Check for level and if it isn’t you can remove shelf and loosen bracket screws and wiggle the bracket while still attached while retightening screws. We had to re-level one of our shelves this way. Hope this helps and that it makes sense. As for weight capacity I wouldn’t want to put more than a couple of pounds on a shelf. As it is secure, it is hollow inside and too much weight would probably either cause the shelf to sag or damage your wall

My bathroom renovation is turning out great. These shelves are beautifully stable and show no visible assembly. The idea of these floating shelves is brilliant.
