Blackmagic IP10 Video Codec
You can send uncompressed ST 2110 IP video over 10G Ethernet at frame rates up to 2160p50
Ultra HD, just like on an SDI video network. For the high frame rates, like 2160p59.94 and 2160p60,
you'll need to lower the data rate enough to fit down a 10G Ethernet port. This is where Blackmagic
IP10 comes in. It's a simple 'codec' that changes from pixels being an absolute quantizing level as
used in normal uncompressed video to a difference number that shows the difference between
pixels. On hard edges in the image, it can also reduce the bit depth of these pixels because it's
not visible.
The goal is to fit a 12G-SDI signal into a 10G Ethernet port, so only a little bit of image data needs
to be removed. The big advantage of using 10G Ethernet for high frame rate Ultra HD video is a
dramatically lower cost because products can be simple and use less power. This makes IP mini
converter type products possible and the cost of Ethernet switches is also much lower as low cost
10G Ethernet switches are very common. You can also use simple 10G Ethernet copper cables
that are already installed in a lot of buildings and you even have the option to remote power
converters over PoE.

This information should provide enough detail for developers to incorporate Blackmagic IP10
into other products.
