Key Information About the Blackmagic Videohub 10x10 12G Video Routing Switcher
- 10x10 12G?SDI Matrix for routing SD, HD, 2K, Ultra HD, and 4K DCI up to 2160p60, with zero latency.
- 1U Form Factor with a 2.2-inch LCD screen for video preview, labels, and active standards.
- Fast local control via dedicated buttons and a large electronic clutch rotary knob, plus network control.
- Tri?Sync/Black Burst Reference, SDI synchronization on outputs, and automatic format detection.
A Compact 12G?SDI Router at the Core of the Videohub Range
The Videohub 10x10 12G belongs to the Blackmagic ?Videohub 12G? family, designed to unify all resolutions over a single BNC cable. Its 1U chassis houses 10 inputs and 10 outputs of 12G?SDI, a color display, and ergonomic front panel controls, enabling instant, latency-free routing in control rooms, studios, and production trucks.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Applications?
Ideal for live control rooms, post-production, broadcast studios, and events, this
12G SDI router centralizes cameras, switchers, recorders, and monitors within
multi-format workflows. The preview on the LCD screen ensures secure switching, while Ethernet control allows easy integration into production networks.
Key Features for Multi-Format Workflows
Versatile 12G?SDI up to 2160p60
Compatible with SD, HD, 2K, Ultra HD, and 4K DCI, the Videohub 10x10 12G supports YUV 4:2:2 and RGB 4:4:4 up to 12 bits, with color spaces REC 601, REC 709, and REC 2020. The
automatic switching per input accepts different standards simultaneously, simplifying heterogeneous setups.
Local and Remote Control
The 24 buttons, clutch rotary knob, and 2.2-inch screen enable ultra-fast selection. On the network, Mac/Windows software, compatible hardware panels, and the Ethernet/SDK protocol provide flexible and scalable control.
Reference and Synchronization
Tri?Sync or Black Burst reference input with loop-through output, and
SDI synchronization on all outputs for clean switching. The universal internal power supply and
auto-restore of crosspoints ensure reliable operation.
