Blackmagic Design Videohub Mini 8x4 12G

The Blackmagic Videohub Mini routers are the perfect solution for adding extra inputs to your SDI equipment. They are available in 3 models, including a ⅓ rack width 4x2 model, a ½ rack width 6x2 model, and a ⅔ rack width 8x4 model. All connections are 12G-SDI, so they work in SD, HD and Ultra HD video standards. They also have a new type of clean switch that's selected on the video outputs, not locked into the inputs. This means you can route a specific source with clean switch to one output while switching the same source as a direct feed to other outputs! The front panel features video routing buttons, but it also has emergency 12G-SDI video connections and a USB webcam video output!

Eliminates Complex Cable Mess

Blackmagic Videohub Mini routers are designed for adding extra inputs to all types of SDI broadcast equipment. They are designed to be small, so they take up very little space in mobile racks, where space is limited. You can add extra inputs to ATEM switchers, or add input selection to streaming encoders and HyperDeck recorders. You can also use it to add extra inputs to video monitors! Routers are fantastic because you can make changes to connections without frantically patching cables in the middle of a job. If you have an urgent customer need or emergency, you can connect gear to the SDI connections on the front panel. That means you can handle the unexpected without rewiring your rack.

Blackmagic Videohub Mini 8x4 12G

The largest model is ⅔ rack width and features 8 x 12G-SDI inputs with loop outputs, 4 x 12G-SDI outputs and reference input for the clean switch. The front panel has router control plus a 12G-SDI input, 12G-SDI output and USB-C webcam connections.

Front Panel Includes Router Control and Video Patching

• Video Connections - If you urgently need to plug in external gear, you can use the front panel connections. All models have 12G-SDI in, and the 6x2 and 8x4 models also have 12G-SDI out. There is also a USB-C webcam out!
• Input Buttons - All models are equipped with high-quality input selection buttons that trigger instantaneous switching of the source to the selected outputs when they are pressed.
• Output Buttons - The output button selects the desired output, then this output will be the one changed when you press the input buttons. To route, press the output button first, then select the input button.

Advanced 12G-SDI for SD, HD and Ultra HD Routing

All models of Blackmagic Videohub Mini feature advanced 12G-SDI connections which are multi rate so they support any SD, HD and Ultra HD video format up to 2160p60. That means you can connect any SD, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI equipment. Plus Blackmagic Videohub Mini also supports routing any video standard on the same router at the same time. 12G-SDI gives you high frame rate Ultra HD via a single BNC connection that also works with all your regular HD equipment, so you can seamlessly switch different video inputs and the SDI output standard will change automatically! With 12G-SDI you get a future proof technology that connects to the equipment you have now and in the future!

Add External Hardware Control Panels

All Blackmagic Videohub routers can be remotely controlled, which is vital in large broadcast studios where the equipment connected to the router is located in different areas of the building. There are 2 different types of hardware panels available. The Videohub Master Control Pro is similar to the front panel and has a spin knob, LCD and shortcut buttons. While the Videohub Smart Control Pro model features all buttons and is generally programmed so the panel controls a single router output with each button programmed to a router input. Then you can just cut along the panel buttons to change the router output instantly. It works best when you install a smart panel below each video monitor!

Get Router Control on Mac, Windows and iPad

If you need to remotely control a Blackmagic Videohub Mini, then Videohub Software Control is an ideal solution because it's free to download. Videohub Software Control is compatible with both Mac and Windows, allowing you to run it on the computers you already use for creative work. The software has large, easy-to-press icon style buttons. Each button can be customised to either a router input or a router output, and you can also assign each button a custom icon to aid visual identification. The big buttons are great for use on a touchscreen PC, where the software becomes a large screen XY control panel! You can even download a version of the software for the Apple iPad!
