# DeckLink IP cards Nobe OmniScope supports DeckLink IP cards out of the box. The network configuration can be done in Desktop Video app and the devices will be auto-detected in the software on launch. ## DeckLink IP Cards - ST 2110 Video Streaming Guide ### Overview DeckLink IP/SDI HD cards enable professional ST 2110 video streaming over standard Ethernet networks, allowing you to transmit uncompressed, high-quality video signals between systems without traditional SDI infrastructure. This technology is particularly valuable for remote production workflows, multi-room facilities, and flexible broadcast setups where running long SDI cables isn't practical. ### Key Advantages of IP-Based Video Streaming **Network Flexibility** * Stream video over existing Ethernet infrastructure * Connect systems across different rooms or buildings * Eliminate the need for expensive SDI cable runs * Support for both direct connections and network switch configurations **Professional Quality** * Uncompressed 10-bit YCbCr video transmission * Support for various broadcast formats (1080p, 4K, different frame rates) * Low-latency streaming suitable for live production * Simultaneous SDI and IP output capabilities **Cost-Effective Scalability** * Use standard Ethernet cables and switches * Easier cable management compared to traditional SDI setups * Future-proof solution compatible with modern IP-based workflows * Reduced infrastructure costs for multi-location productions ### Common Use Cases * **Remote Production**: Monitor video feeds from distant locations * **Multi-Studio Facilities**: Share video signals between control rooms and studios * **Live Streaming Workflows**: Integrate with software-based production tools like OmniScope * **Backup and Redundancy**: Create IP-based backup paths for critical video signals * **Hybrid Workflows**: Bridge traditional SDI equipment with modern IP-based systems ### Configuration Requirements This guide demonstrates a working configuration for direct Ethernet connection between two DeckLink IP/SDI HD cards, covering the essential network settings, color space configuration, and troubleshooting steps needed for reliable ST 2110 streaming. *** *The following configuration has been tested with DeckLink IP/SDI HD cards in a direct connection setup, successfully streaming 10-bit YCbCr video between DaVinci Resolve and monitoring applications.* ## Example configuration for simple DeckLink IP HD card setup Assuming we have 2 machines equipped with DeckLink IP card connected via ethernet cable directly, here's the sender configuration:

Configuration on the sender side

Here's the configuration on the receiving end:

Configuration on the receiver side

If the configuration is correct and both cards see each other, you should be able to see the signal info on the receiving end in the "Ethernet" section:

Video Input is recognized properly

Also make sure that the signal settings are set properly - looks like auto-detection doesn't work properly and sending RGB signal (4:4:4) can cause issues on the receiving end:

Monitoring settings on the sender side

{% hint style="info" %} Both cards can be connected with a regular ethernet cable (doesn't need to be crossed). CAT.6 cable is recommended. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
