About the Blackmagic Design BMD-VHUBSMAS12G2020 Videohub 20x20 12G

The Blackmagic Design Videohub 20x20 12G is a professional broadcast-grade video routing matrix designed to manage and distribute high-bandwidth video signals within a production facility, broadcast truck, or live event setup. As a 20-input by 20-output matrix, it provides flexible routing for up to twenty 12G-SDI sources to any combination of twenty destinations, supporting resolutions up to 4K at 60 frames per second on every single port. This enables the seamless switching of cameras, graphics feeds, recorders, monitors, and streaming encoders across a complex production environment.

Built on a robust internal crosspoint architecture, the router offers instant, glitch-free switching and supports advanced features like reclocking on all outputs to ensure signal integrity over long cable runs. Its 12G-SDI ports are backward compatible, automatically detecting and supporting lower SDI standards such as 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI, providing a future-proof backbone for both current HD and emerging 4K/UHD workflows. Control is highly versatile, achievable via the front-panel LCD menu, Ethernet using the included Videohub Software Control, or third-party control systems using Ember+ and Ethernet protocols.

Housed in a compact 1RU rackmount chassis, the Videohub 20x20 is engineered for continuous 24/7 operation with reliable cooling and power systems. Its professional build quality and software ecosystem make it an essential central nervous system for any facility requiring reliable, high-performance video signal management, from post-production houses and broadcast studios to mobile production units and corporate AV installations.

FAQs about Blackmagic Design BMD-VHUBSMAS12G2020 Videohub 20x20 12G

What video formats and resolutions does the Videohub 20x20 12G support?

It supports multi-rate 12G-SDI video, allowing you to route any combination of SD, HD, Ultra HD (up to 2160p60), and 4K DCI formats simultaneously. The router automatically detects the format on each input and switches speeds independently without dropping other connections.

Can it route different video formats on different inputs at the same time?

Yes. Each of the 20 inputs and 20 outputs operates independently, meaning you can route an HD signal to one monitor and a 12G-SDI 4K signal to a recording deck concurrently. However, it is a router rather than a standards converter, so it will not up-convert or down-convert video formats between inputs and outputs.

What control options are available on the front panel?

The front panel features direct source and destination push buttons, a spin-knob scroll wheel for fast routing, and a built-in color LCD screen. The screen displays live video previews, routing labels, video format details, and configuration menus directly on the unit.

Can the Videohub 20x20 12G be controlled remotely over a network?

Yes. It features built-in Ethernet connectivity, allowing complete control from Mac and Windows computers using the free Videohub Software Control utility. You can also control it via hardware control panels (like Videohub Master Control Pro and Smart Control Pro) or third-party broadcast automation over IP.

Does it feature SDI re-clocking on all outputs?

Yes, all 20 SDI outputs feature automatic SDI re-clocking. This regenerates the digital video signal, dramatically reduces jitter, and allows for long cable runs without signal degradation.

What power connection does this unit require, and is there power redundancy?

It features an internal universal 100–240 V AC power supply using a standard IEC power cable. While it does not have a second AC input, it includes a redundant +12 V DC power connection for backup power security during live broadcasts.

What is the physical size and rack footprint of the unit?

The Videohub 20x20 12G occupies a compact 1U rack-mount form factor. Its shallow chassis design makes it ideal for installation in standard studio equipment racks, flypacks, and broadcast production trucks.

Does it support embedded audio and metadata?

Yes, it routes full 16-channel embedded SDI audio alongside the video stream on every connection. It also transparently passes ancillary data, including timecode and closed captioning.
