So some good news... I was finally able to get the 2110 converter working with my Panasonic Kairos setup. In what was a bit of an interesting accident, I ended up setting up my second 2110 converter just to see if the two could transmit a signal back and forth. When I selected the originating 2110 converter's IP video stream, it 'activated' the master_enable which allowed the Kairos to see the video stream as well. However, over a period of about 10-15 minutes, the IP video signal started getting jittery, so that wasn't ideal. I'll need more time to uncover that issues, but at least for the moment I've been able to successfully transmit a 2110 signal from the BM 2110 converter to my Kairos switcher!
In regards to clocking... The Kairos was setup as a follower and it appeared to be able to successfully identify the BM 2110 converter as its clock source. I say appeared because in Kairos it showed that it was getting a sync signal from the network (and the BM 2110 was the only other device on the network, at least until I added the second one). That said, the Kairos also showed "no sync" when the IP 2110 video came up in the multi-view, so that was a bit curious. I suspect that this plays into the jitter issue that I was seeing and I suspect that the two are related.... more work to do when I have some extra time, but in general, positive developments.
BTW - for those that are interested, I'm using a Ubiquiti UniFi Pro Aggregation switch (our company network is almost all UniFi-based, except for our Peplink routers that provide PepVPN connectivity for our bonded-cellular remote productions). I also have a UniFi Enterprise XG 24 switch, the one that BM notes in the 2110 users guide as compatible, but I've not had a chance to integrate it into our network. That will probably happen next week, at which point I'll spend more time working to integrate 2110 into our environment.
