The Blackmagic Design Studio Converter is a converter designed for the Blackmagic Design Studio Camera 4K Pro that offers Power-over-Ethernet and data transfer via a single cable. Key features include:
Power-over-Ethernet
Single 10G Ethernet Cable to Camera
Audio, video, and talkback breakout
Built-In display
Fiber-Like Workflow Over Ethernet. Get the same workflow as SMPTE fiber, but using low cost 10G copper Ethernet cables. This converter will power the camera via the Ethernet cable and convert the camera and program return feeds to SDI.
Works With The BMD Studio Camera 4K Pro. With 10G Ethernet on the Pro model, you can connect all signals to the Studio Camera 4K Pro with the one Ethernet IP link connection. That means the camera feed, return program feed, timecode, reference, tally, and talkback are all sent down the single cable. Please not that control is currently not supported, although this may change with a future firmware update. That’s the same benefits of SMPTE fiber, but the standard 10G copper Ethernet cable is much lower cost. The Blackmagic Studio Converter allows breakout of all the video, audio and talkback connections at the studio end. It also includes a massive power supply that powers the camera down the Ethernet cable, so you don’t need a power source near the camera.
