Blackmagic Videohub 80×80 12G is a massive, zero latency video router supporting any combination of SD, HD and Ultra HD inputs simultaneously. Designed specifically for large-scale productions like news, sporting events and concerts it costs $9,995 and offers an affordable means of routing up to 80 professional video feeds simultaneously.
To create an affordable video router capable of handling truly large scale broadcasts:
• Enable simultaneously routing of up to 80 SDI inputs and outputs
• Minimise video signal degradation and mess of long cables common to large-scale productions.
• Develop a consistent, refined aesthetic that reflects the sophisticated technology within.
• Optimise form factor to fit into standard 19” equipment racks.
• Ensure immediate, ‘at-a-glance’ legibility of system status in darkened environments.
Videohub 80×80 is an affordable yet powerful solution for high-speed routing of a range of video standards. Its minimal, pared back control panel allows critical information to be relayed clearly and unambiguously. Ideal for stadium-scale events, up to 80 SDI inputs can connect directly to the router regardless of location. Connections are performed electronically, eliminating complicated system diagrams and cable mess.
Integrated with cutting edge 12G-SDI technology it is a future-proof solution supporting almost any video standard, enabling transfers of high frame rate SD, HD or Ultra HD video signals at up to 11.8Gb/second. This makes it highly versatile and adaptable to virtually any broadcast scenario regardless of complexity.
Videohub 80×80 includes revolutionary SDI re-clocking on every 12G-SDI input, which regenerates video signals for maximum quality. This is important because longer cables used in live productions often degrade video signals. SDI re-clocking eliminates ‘drop-outs’ in video signals despite longer cable lengths.
Aesthetics are defined by a reduction of superfluous detail to enhance usability. The minimal design and matte black finish eliminate distractions and focus attention on the controls and monitor.
The hierarchical layout uses refined tactile cues and materiality to delineate functional zones, with back-lit clear capped buttons featuring a scalloped profile to reduce reflections and minimise error. A subtle curvature gives the main fascia a depth and lustre that is lost in a flat design, aligning seamlessly with Blackmagic’s family of rack-based products.
