Blackmagic Design Videohub 80x80 12G

Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Blackmagic Design Videohub 80x80 12G is an elite, zero-latency 12G-SDI video routing switcher housed in a 4RU rackmount chassis.

Engineered for large-scale broadcast facilities, live production trucks, and extensive post-production environments, it allows you to connect any combination of 80 video inputs to 80 video outputs simultaneously. Because it utilizes multi-rate 12G-SDI technology, it treats every port as a universal gateway, allowing you to route standard-definition (SD), high-definition (HD), Ultra-HD, and 4K video feeds at up to 60 frames per second over a single BNC connection.

 

Key System Architecture Features

  • Advanced 12G-SDI Re-clocking: Signal degradation is a common failure point over massive cable structures. The Videohub feature-sets include built-in SDI re-clockers on every single 12G input. The system instantly regenerates the digital video data pulse before passing it downstream, allowing you to deploy much longer coaxial cable runs without incurring bit errors or dropped frames.

  • Full Multi-Rate Matching: The router automatically detects the signal format instantly as it shifts on a per-port basis. You can route an ancient SD studio line on Input 1 to Output 12, while simultaneously routing an uncompressed 2160p60 4K master feed on Input 2 to Output 3 without any internal clock errors or format friction.

  • Zero-Latency Cross-point Routing: The hardware acts as a true copper-speed matrix switch. Switching paths take place instantly inside the silicon plane without adding any processing lag or frame delay, making it critical for live television environments where video and audio sync cannot tolerate drift.

Core Hardware & Connectivity Layout

Feature Group Functional Capabilities
Physical I/O Capacity 80x BNC Inputs, 80x BNC Outputs (160 BNC ports total)
Data Transmission Scope Multi-rate SD, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI, and 12G-SDI compliance
Front Interface Panel Integrated 5-inch color LCD display, localized control knob, and shortcut buttons
Genlock Reference Elements 1x BNC Tri-Sync or Black Burst Input; 1x BNC Loop-Through Output
Control Interface Methods Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45), USB-C (Configuration), and hardware IP Panels
Power Supply Redundancy Dual internal 100-240V AC inputs via standard IEC cords
Form Factor Scope 4RU standard 19" rack enclosure; 11.4 inches deep

Local and Network Control Options

  • The Front Panel Interface: Unlike classic "blind" routers, the front panel includes a large color LCD screen. When turning the machined control dial to scan your route profiles, it displays live video thumbnails of your source feed along with custom alphanumeric labels, allowing quick, visual confirmation of video paths before hitting the "Take" button.

  • Network App Automation: The unit is entirely manageable over a local area network (LAN) using Blackmagic's Videohub Control Software utility. It supports customizable visual icon layouts for Mac, Windows, and iPad.

  • Hardware Integration: For dedicated Master Control rooms or engineering racks, it pairs directly with the Videohub Smart Control Pro and Videohub Master Control Pro hardware IP panels, which mount anywhere in the building to pull crosspoints over simple IP protocols.

Software Integration Warning

💡 Developer Protocol Support: The Videohub runs on an open, transparent text-based ethernet command protocol. System integrators can easily issue commands to switch inputs and outputs via basic Telnet scripts, making it simple to write custom automation routines or link the routing system directly into third-party control blocks like Crestron, AMX, or Ross Video infrastructure.
