Blackmagic Design has launched the Ethernet Switch 820, a networking device featuring eight 100G QSFP ports and two 10G ports designed for SMPTE 2110 broadcast workflows. The unit includes redundant power and PTP clock ports to support high-performance IP production in fly-packs and broadcast trucks.
The launch of this switch provides a specialized, cost-effective alternative to generic enterprise networking hardware for SMPTE 2110 deployments. By including redundant PTP clocking and 100G throughput at a $2,525 price point, Blackmagic is simplifying the transition from SDI to IP for smaller broadcast operations and mobile units. This move strengthens the company's end-to-end IP ecosystem, linking its existing recorders and switchers through a unified high-bandwidth fabric. Watch for how this aggressive pricing affects the adoption rate of 100G infrastructure in mid-market regional sports and live event production.
