Blackmagic Design Ethernet Switch 360P

• 16 x 10G Ethernet ports and 2 x 100G Ethernet QSFP ports.
• SMPTE-2110 IP video standard compliance.
• Rear-mounted connections for efficient cable management.
• Front control panel with video routing interface.
• HDMI output for real-time data monitoring.
• Designed for plug-and-play multicast setups, eliminating complex IT configurations.

The Blackmagic Design Ethernet Switch 360P is designed specifically for high-demand environments in the film and television industry, offering robust, low-latency networking capabilities for modern IP video workflows. It features 16 independent 10G Ethernet ports and two 100G Ethernet ports, making it ideal for complex configurations, such as connecting multiple DaVinci Resolve workstations or HyperDeck ISO recorders in post-production studios.

The switch’s Ethernet ports are positioned on the back of the unit, streamlining cable management and providing a neat, secure setup when integrated with broadcast equipment. This design, focused on the needs of the television industry, ensures that network cables remain organized and free from interference.

One of the standout features of the 360P is its front-panel video routing interface. Unlike typical IT switches, this unit offers a familiar video router-like control, complete with a built-in control panel, a machined spin knob, shortcut buttons, and an LCD display. This interface allows users to manage SMPTE-2110 IP multicast routes with ease, bypassing the need for complex IT configurations. The plug-and-play multicast settings simplify the process for smaller broadcast systems, fly-packs, and mobile production setups.

The HDMI and SDI monitor outputs allow for real-time monitoring of each Ethernet connection, displaying link speeds, data transfer rates, and live data graphs to ensure optimal performance during production. This feature is especially beneficial for large-scale live broadcast systems where multiple Ultra HD video streams are being transmitted simultaneously.

Ideal for post-production studios, outside broadcast trucks, and small production kits, the Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 360P provides the reliability and speed necessary for handling the most demanding IP video tasks while maintaining ease of use for operators unfamiliar with IT-centric network management.
