The Blackmagic Design Smart Videohub is a 1U-sized professional video switcher with a speed of 3GB/s SDI and an auto-switching feature to instantly switch between HD and SD video formats (depending on the input signal). Full SDI re-clocking is used to make up for lost signals and easier decoding of the signals.

The Videohub includes 16 buttons for destinations and 16 buttons for sources. Routing can be changed by using the destination button and selecting the source. The illuminated control buttons allow you to read the button labels even in dark or poor light.

Ethernet control allows direct connection to the network and is fully compatible with software/hardware control panels.
