Technical Advantages

The Blackmagic Videohub 80x80 12G routes any input to any output with mixed formats on the same frame. 12G‑SDI supports SD, HD, and Ultra HD without extra converters. You can send one source to many outputs or rebuild complex paths in seconds.

Built‑in SDI re‑clocking regenerates signals and lowers jitter. Picture quality stays high, even over long cables. Input LEDs confirm activity at a glance. The front full‑HD LCD shows live video, routing labels, and the video standard before you switch, so changes are accurate and fast.

The front panel speeds daily work. Use direct buttons for quick picks or scroll sources in order with the smooth spin knob. Its electronic clutch gives precise, repeatable control. All of this sits in a rugged four‑rack‑unit chassis designed for studios, trucks, and portable flypacks.

Control & Integration

Operate the Blackmagic Videohub 80x80 12G from the front panel, over Ethernet, or with external control panels. It integrates with Videohub Master Control Pro and Videohub Smart Control Pro. Use Videohub Software Control on Mac, Windows, or iPad to manage labels, routes, and setups across your team. A free SDK makes custom automation easy for broadcast systems and OB vans.

Dual AC power inputs protect uptime during critical shows. Reference connections align routing with house sync. With support for 13 languages, crews worldwide can set and run the router with confidence.

Real‑World Applications

The Blackmagic Videohub 80x80 12G reduces cable clutter by replacing manual patching with electronic routing. Feed cameras to monitors, recorders, and encoders at the same time. Build redundancy with multiple HyperDeck recorders. Expand an ATEM switcher with more sources. Send signals to several streaming processors to cover every platform without delay.

From control rooms to mobile production, this router becomes the backbone of your system. It keeps signals organized, protects image quality, and scales as your workflow grows. Simple controls, rock‑solid reliability, and zero‑latency switching make it a trusted choice for modern production.
