Zero-Latency 40x40 12G Router
The Blackmagic Design Videohub 40x40 12G is a zero-latency video router built for professional broadcast and production environments. It handles any mix of SD, HD and Ultra HD signals simultaneously across its 40 12G-SDI inputs and 40 12G-SDI outputs. Redundant power and reference connections ensure reliability in a 2 RU form factor. A full HD LCD provides visual monitoring and clear routing labels before switching.
Upgrade From Smaller Matrix Routers
This unit replaces smaller SDI matrices when a facility needs 40 inputs and 40 outputs in a single chassis. The jump is worth it when workflows demand simultaneous multi-format routing up to 2160p60 without frame delay. Integrated SDI reclocking cleans signal integrity over long cable runs. Direct push-button and spin-knob control with electronic clutch offers immediate tactile operation alongside Ethernet remote management.
Suits Multi-Format Broadcast Hubs
This router suits broadcast centres and OB trucks that require dense, format-agnostic 12G-SDI switching with zero latency. It fits operations relying on Cat 6a infrastructure rated to 550 MHz for 10 Gb/s control links. Facilities needing fewer than 40 ports or lacking 12G-SDI cabling should look at smaller or lower-bandwidth alternatives. Buyers requiring built-in multiview processing or audio embedding features not listed here will need separate dedicated hardware.

Questions about this item
How many rack units of vertical space does the Videohub 40x40 12G require?
The router occupies two rack units in a standard equipment rack.
What is the correct order for connecting the 12G-SDI inputs and outputs before powering on?
Connect all 40 inputs and 40 outputs first, then apply power; applying power before the SDI cables are seated can cause the re-clocking circuits to miss the incoming signal standard.
Which consumable items in the bundle will need replacement after repeated use?
The Pearstone Cat 6a patch cable and the Kellards cleaning wipes are consumables; the wipes are a 5-pack and the cable may wear after frequent re-patching.
