40x40 12G-SDI Router for Broadcast Facilities

The Blackmagic Design Videohub 12G Router provides 40 12G-SDI inputs and 40 12G-SDI outputs in a two rack unit frame. It handles any combination of SD, HD and Ultra HD up to 2160p60 simultaneously with zero latency. Redundant power and reference connections ensure reliable operation for live production environments. A full HD LCD displays video preview, routing labels and signal standards.

Verify 12G-SDI Cabling

Confirm that your existing cameras, monitors and switchers use 12G-SDI connectors compatible with the 40 inputs and 40 outputs. Ensure the rack provides two rack units of height and adequate depth for cable management. Check that your facility reference signal matches the router's reference input requirements for genlock. Plan for dual power feeds to utilise the redundant power supplies.

Central Hub Connecting Sources to Destinations

The router sits at the centre of a broadcast workflow, linking up to 40 source devices to 40 destinations without format conversion. SDI re-clocking regenerates signals to maintain integrity over long cable runs. Ethernet control allows remote management from a control room or software panel. The front panel spin knob and shortcut buttons provide immediate manual routing when network control is unavailable.

Questions about this item

What cables or modules must I purchase separately to use the 40 12G-SDI inputs and outputs?

The router provides 40 12G-SDI inputs and 40 12G-SDI outputs; you will need compatible 12G-SDI coaxial cables for each connection you intend to make.

Which video standards can I mix on the same 40x40 router without changing hardware?

The router handles SD, HD and Ultra HD up to 2160p60 simultaneously on any of the 40 inputs and 40 outputs.

How does the zero-latency claim affect live production when routing 2160p60 signals through the 40x40 matrix?

Zero latency means the signal passes through the 40x40 matrix without added frame delay, so 2160p60 sources remain in sync for live switching.
