The Blackmagic Design Videohub 40x40 12G is a high-density, broadcast-grade video routing matrix designed as the central signal distribution hub for large-scale production facilities, broadcast centers, and major live event trucks. With a massive 40-input by 40-output crosspoint matrix, it provides unparalleled flexibility to route any of forty 12G-SDI sources to any combination of forty destinations simultaneously. This capacity is essential for managing complex signal flows involving numerous cameras, graphics servers, playback systems, recording decks, monitors, and transmission encoders in UHD 4K and HD environments.

Built on a powerful internal architecture, the router delivers instant, glitch-free switching and includes reclocking on all outputs to regenerate and clean the SDI signal, ensuring integrity over long cable runs. Every port fully supports the 12G-SDI standard, handling resolutions up to 4Kp60, while automatically downscaling and supporting legacy formats like 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI. This ensures seamless integration of both cutting-edge 4K equipment and existing HD infrastructure. Control is highly versatile, offering multiple methods: front-panel LCD menu navigation, full software control via Ethernet using the included Videohub Software Control (compatible with Mac and Windows), and integration with third-party control systems using open protocols like Ember+ and Ethernet.

Housed in a compact 2RU rackmount chassis, the Videohub 40x40 is engineered for 24/7 reliability with robust cooling and a universal power supply. Its professional build quality and extensive control ecosystem make it the foundational backbone for any major broadcast operation, post-production house, or large-scale AV installation requiring the utmost in signal management performance and scalability.
