The Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 820 is a high-performance network solution specifically designed for SMPTE-2110 IP video workflows in professional broadcast and live production environments. With ultra-high bandwidth support and extremely low latency, it provides the ideal backbone for modern IP-based video infrastructures.

Featuring 8 x 100G and 2 x 10G Ethernet ports, this switch delivers exceptional performance for handling uncompressed video, audio and data streams. The intuitive front panel interface with built-in LCD monitoring allows users to easily manage IP routing without complex IT configuration.

A dedicated NMOS control port and dual redundant PTP clock inputs ensure stable network control and precise synchronization across all connected devices, which is critical for glitch-free live production.
