Connect SDI I/O with network infrastructure using a dedicated ConvertIP appliance that combines SDI interfaces with two SFP network ports. This hardware configuration provides a physical connection point between SDI equipment and IP-based video environments without requiring the appliance to be treated as a general-purpose network switch. SFP interfaces allow the network connection to be selected for the installed infrastructure. MATROX GRAPHICS CIP-DSS2 suits installations where SDI sources or endpoints must connect into a video-over-IP workflow through SFP-equipped network infrastructure. Its SDI I/O provides the video-side interface, while the two network ports provide the IP-facing connections. This makes the appliance relevant at video production, broadcast, contribution, monitoring, and AV infrastructure connection points where both interface types are required. Power is not integrated as part of the ordering configuration. A compatible power supply must be obtained separately when planning the installation. Account for the power accessory, the required SFP network interfaces, and the SDI cabling needed at the appliance location. The defining hardware combination for this configuration is two SFP network ports paired with SDI I/O in the ConvertIP appliance format.
