Blackmagic Smart Videohub 40×40

Advanced 40 x 40 multi format SD, HD and Ultra HD SDI router with built in video monitoring and spin knob control for visual routing so that you can quickly route your video by looking at it! Smart Videohub 40×40 fits a massive 80 multi rate 6G-SDI connections in a compact two rack unit size!

Ethernet is one of the most common computer networking standards and is used to provide connectivity in virtually every facility worldwide. The Smart Videohub can be controlled with remote hardware panels or via software over standard ethernet networks. All Videohub hardware control panels include industry standard Ethernet connections, making it easy to install them throughout your facility. Broadcast designers, editors, and colorists using Mac or PC workstations can use the free Videohub Control Software to instantly switch and route the signals they need over ethernet!

The SDI standard includes 16 channels of embedded audio with your video signal. That means you get up to 16 mono or 8 stereo channels perfectly synchronized with your video. If you need to route audio to analog equipment, it can easily be de-embedded from the SDI signal using Mini Converters. The advantage of SDI embedded audio means that you can route or directly patch synchronized audio and video on a single cable!

Smart Videohub is perfect for broadcast, post or live production! Smart Videohub’s super compact size means it’s perfect for use in large broadcast systems or portable mini racks for live production where cameras, switchers, recording and monitors are all simply connected to Smart Videohub. Now you can avoid messy rewiring because you can connect everything to the router and then quickly change connections from job to job without reconnecting a single cable!
