ConvertIP DSH

SMPTE 2110 and IPMX to HDMI transmitter/receiver and IP video gateway


Matrox ConvertIP DSH is a compact, standalone ST 2110 and IPMX transmitter/receiver device with a unique IP video gateway feature. Featuring HDMI I/O, one RJ45, and two SFP28 ports on a single device, ConvertIP DSH is designed for compressed or uncompressed workflows up to 25G and is optimal for an ultra-low latency experience. The device can deliver power over Ethernet through its RJ45 connection, or it can be powered through an optional power supply unit. Both can be used simultaneously to deliver power redundancy.

Multi-network support

Multi-network support

ConvertIP DSH is designed with advanced networking capabilities to meet the demands of modern IP-based infrastructures. The device is equipped with two SFP28 ports with both 10G and 25G network support for media and control. It also has a 1G RJ45 port for an independent control network path, making it ideal for large AV installations where reliability and network segmentation are critical.

Unmatched flexibility

ConvertIP DSH can be configured as either a transmitter or receiver, providing ultimate flexibility and making it ideal for dynamic environments and inventory management. This all-in-one functionality simplifies deployment and reduces the need for additional hardware. Plus, its fanless, quiet, and compact design means you can install it anywhere—whether in a server room or behind a monitor.

Compressed and uncompressed IP transport

Designed to adapt to various workflows, ConvertIP DSH supports multiple transport options for maximum flexibility:

  • Supports uncompressed HD and UHD streams over IP using SMPTE ST 2110-20  
  • Includes the Pro AV codec for visually lossless compression up to 6 Gbps
  • Optional JPEG-XS license for SMPTE ST 2110-22 support
  • Transmit and receive audio using SMPTE ST 2110-30 and AES67
  • Achieves glass-to-glass latencies as low as 1 millisecond in both compressed and uncompressed workflows 

IP to IP bridging

ConvertIP DSH facilitates seamless conversion between uncompressed and compressed SMPTE 2110 and IPMX signals with it’s IP video gateway feature. Examples of conversions:

SMPTE ST 2110-20 <--> SMPTE ST 2110-22  

SMPTE ST 2110-20 <--> IPMX (with/without PTP)  

SMPTE ST 2110-22 <--> IPMX (with/without PTP)  

Uncompressed IPMX <--> compressed IPMX  

IP Bridging Concept

Simplify your multi-display and monitoring setup

Boost your monitoring capacity and lower your total cost of ownership with ConvertIP’s Daisy Chain feature:

  • Fewer network ports needed: Drive multiple displays using a single network port on your switch
  • Scalable monitor walls: Chain displays with unique content to fit your needs using a single fiber cable
  • Supports compressed/uncompressed streams over 10G or 25G networks.
  • Reduce port usage, SFP, and fiber requirements to reduce total cost of ownership  
  • Built-in redundancy (ST 2022-7) for continuous operation in case of network problems

Built on open standards

With full IPMX/ST 2110 compatibility, ConvertIP DSH integrates with other IPMX/ST 2110 devices and equipment, optimizing workflows and reducing installation complexity. NMOS open APIs simplify device discovery and connection management ensure future-proof installations across IP workflows and environments. 

Open standards
PTP Broadcast

Integrated quad-split multiviewer

ConvertIP DSH is equipped with a powerful multi-view feature that allows users to display up to four HD signals on a single screen. With support for both compressed and uncompressed IP streams, an output can be configured in full HD or pristine 4K resolution.

Simplified power with the 
convenience of PoE+

ConvertIP DSH simplifies installation with the convenience of PoE+ over a single cable, optimizing power distribution and maximizing efficiency.  For added redundancy, an optional power supply cable (sold separately) can be used alongside PoE+ to create a dual-power setup, ensuring continuous uptime even if one source fails, making it ideal for critical installations.
