The Blackmagic Design Universal Videohub 72X72 Frame is a professional video router that provides a high-capacity routing solution for broadcast, post-production, and live event environments. It offers a large number of 3G-SDI or Optical Fiber SDI inputs and outputs, allowing users to route video signals between various sources and destinations.

Key features of the Blackmagic Design Universal Videohub 72X72 may include:

High Capacity: The Videohub 72X72 supports up to 72 inputs and 72 outputs, allowing for extensive video routing possibilities. This makes it suitable for complex video setups where multiple sources need to be connected to different destinations.

SDI Connectivity: It features SDI (Serial Digital Interface) connections, which are commonly used in professional video production. SDI enables the transmission of high-quality, uncompressed video signals over coaxial cables.

Scalability: The router is designed to be scalable, allowing users to expand its capacity by connecting multiple units together. This flexibility is beneficial for growing production environments that may require additional video routing capabilities in the future.

Control Options: The Videohub 72X72 can be controlled using various methods, such as the front panel with an integrated LCD screen for manual control, Ethernet for remote control using software applications or hardware panels, and third-party control systems through the Videohub protocol.

Redundancy and Reliability: Blackmagic Design Videohub routers often include redundant power supplies and a robust design to ensure high reliability. Redundant power supplies help ensure uninterrupted operation in the event of a power failure or issues with one power supply unit.

Advanced Features: The Videohub 72X72 may provide advanced features like SDI re-clocking to maintain signal integrity over long cable runs and support for high-resolution formats up to 3G-SDI.

Please note that specific features and specifications can vary based on the model and firmware version. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's recommended to consult the official documentation or product specifications provided by Blackmagic Design.
