Product Overview
Blackmagic Design's VHUBSMTCS6G1212 is a compact 6G-SDI 12 x 12 video router that includes front panel push button and spin knob control, machined metal front panel with LCD for routing display, Ethernet remote control and more. This model is part of the regular 6G-SDI router range so it can work with all video standards including SD, HD and Ultra HD up to 2160p30.
When you need to cleanly switch between video sources to monitors or directly to air, you need timed or genlocked signals. If you cannot guarantee perfectly timed source signals but you still need to clean switch then Smart Videohub CleanSwitch 12x12 is the special model of Videohub that features resynchronization on all inputs so you get perfect clean feeds every time! Smart Videohub CleanSwitch 12x12 has all of the same great features of Smart Videohub 12x12 plus includes full resynchronization on every input so the router automatically re times all inputs to ensure clean, glitch free switching between router cross points. Sources of different resolutions and the same frame rate can even be output directly to air for smooth, cuts only production.
That’s important when routing to a big display or projector at a public venue where you want the route changes to be clean cuts. And just like all Smart Videohub models, you can control Smart Videohub CleanSwitch directly from the front panel or remotely over ethernet using the Videohub Control Panel software on a Mac or PC.
Note: Blackmagic does not include IEC cables on this product. We recommend also buying a C2G 03133, a 6' IEC universal power cable.
