Blackmagic Design Videohub 40x40 12G Zero-Latency Video Router Bundle video capturing device

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.
