Blackmagic Design Videohub Mini 8x4 12G Router

Share:

Blackmagic Design Videohub Mini 8x4 12G Router is an ultracompact professional video router engineered for live production flexibility. Despite its small footprint, it delivers powerful routing capabilities with eight 12G-SDI inputs, eight 12G-SDI loop outputs, and four 12G-SDI outputs on the back panel. Control can be achieved using the front push buttons, precision knob, or via Ethernet connection for automated workflows. The front panel also includes a 12G-SDI input, 12G-SDI output, and a USB-C output that functions as a webcam, enabling direct live streaming from your computer. Dedicated reference I/O ports allow the clean switch function to lock to a Blackburst or Tri-sync signal, ensuring stable transitions.

Streamlined Cable Management: Designed to add extra inputs to ATEM switchers, streaming encoders, HyperDeck recorders, or monitors without consuming significant rack space. Routers eliminate the need for frantic cable patching during live events, allowing quick adjustments in urgent situations.
Front Panel Router Control & Video Patching: Fast cut-bus-style switching with dedicated buttons for outputs and inputs. Simply select the destination button and then press the source button to route signals instantly. The front panel input overrides the highest rear input when connected, and the USB-C webcam output provides direct compatibility with recording, video scopes, or streaming software.
Advanced 12G-SDI Connections: Multirate 12G-SDI connections support SD, HD, UHD, and DCI 4K formats up to 2160p60. Compatible with SD, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI, and 12G-SDI equipment, allowing seamless integration across multiple standards. High frame rate UHD is supported via a single BNC connection, while outputs automatically adjust to match the input format.
Clean Switch Function: Each output features a clean switch capability, ensuring smooth transitions between sources. This per-output design allows flexibility—HyperDeck recorders can bypass clean switching for direct feeds, while monitors or streaming encoders benefit from seamless source changes locked to the reference input.
Full SDI Re-Clocking: Built-in re-clocking regenerates video signals on every input, reducing jitter and preventing data errors. This ensures optimal video quality even with long cable runs, extending usable cable lengths and eliminating video dropouts.
Emergency Patch Connections: Front panel 12G-SDI connectors provide direct video access without fumbling behind racks. In emergencies, external gear can be connected quickly, with the front input overriding rear inputs and the front output mirroring the highest output channel.
USB Webcam Output: The front USB-C port acts as an HD webcam source, down-converting UHD signals to 1080p for compatibility with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and streaming platforms such as OBS or XSplit. This enables broadcast-quality presentations and live streaming directly from SDI sources.
Flexible Control Options: Compatible with Videohub Software Control, Master Control Pro, and Smart Control Pro panels. Developers can integrate the router into automation workflows using the included SDK, making it adaptable for broadcast facilities and live production environments.
Redundant Power Supply: Operates via built-in AC power or 12 VDC input, ensuring reliable performance whether connected to a wall outlet or portable DC source. This redundancy provides peace of mind during critical live productions.

The Videohub Mini 8x4 12G Router is a powerful yet compact solution for modern broadcast and live production setups. With advanced SDI technology, clean switching, emergency patching, and direct webcam streaming, it delivers professional-grade flexibility in a portable design.
