About the Blackmagic Design BMD-VHUBSMAS12G8080 Blackmagic Videohub 80x80 12G

The Blackmagic Design Videohub 80x80 12G is an ultra-high-density, professional video routing matrix engineered to serve as the central signal distribution hub for the largest broadcast facilities, major live event production trucks, and mega-scale post-production environments. With an immense 80-input by 80-output crosspoint matrix, it provides unparalleled routing flexibility to manage hundreds of 12G-SDI sources and destinations simultaneously, supporting resolutions up to 4K at 60 frames per second on every port. This router is designed to handle the most complex signal flows involving vast arrays of cameras, graphic servers, recording systems, monitors, and transmission encoders in both UHD 4K and high-definition workflows.

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

Housed in a robust 2RU rackmount chassis with efficient cooling and a universal power supply, the Videohub 80x80 is engineered for 24/7 reliability in mission-critical broadcast operations. Its professional steel construction and extensive control ecosystem make it the definitive backbone for any major broadcast operation, post-production facility, or large-scale AV installation requiring the ultimate in signal management performance, density, and scalability.

FAQs about Blackmagic Design BMD-VHUBSMAS12G8080 Blackmagic Videohub 80x80 12G

What video formats and resolutions does the Videohub 80x80 12G support?

It features multi-rate 12G-SDI technology that supports all standard SD, HD, Ultra HD, and DCI 4K formats up to 2160p60. Each of the 80 inputs automatically detects the incoming signal format and routes it independently without interrupting other channels.

Can it route different video formats simultaneously?

Yes. Each input and output operates completely independently, meaning you can route mixed SD, HD, and 12G-SDI Ultra HD signals at the same time. Because it is a zero-latency router rather than a standards converter, the output format always matches the incoming source format.

What control options are built into the front panel?

The front panel features direct-entry source and destination push buttons, a spin-knob scroll wheel, and a built-in 5-inch color LCD. The display shows live video previews, routing confirmation, custom source labels, and format diagnostics directly on the hardware.

How can the router be controlled remotely over an IP network?

It includes built-in Ethernet connectivity for control via the free Videohub Software Control application for Mac, Windows, and iPad. It also integrates seamlessly with hardware panels like the Videohub Master Control Pro and Smart Control Pro, as well as third-party broadcast automation systems.

Does it feature SDI re-clocking on all outputs?

Yes, all 80 BNC outputs feature built-in multi-rate SDI re-clocking to regenerate and stabilize the digital waveform. This significantly reduces signal jitter, allowing for long coaxial cable runs across large facilities and production trucks.

What power supply redundancy does the unit provide?

The router includes dual universal 100–240 V AC power supplies with separate IEC power sockets for full, uninterrupted power redundancy. If one power source or internal supply fails, the second immediately takes over the operational load without dropping active video feeds.

What is the physical rack footprint of the 80x80 model?

The Videohub 80x80 12G is housed in a standard 19-inch rack-mount chassis occupying 4U of vertical rack space. Its shallow depth design makes it well-suited for both permanent machine room racks and space-critical mobile OB trucks.

Does it route embedded audio, timecode, and ancillary metadata?

Yes, it routes up to 16 channels of embedded SDI audio per connection alongside the video signal. It also transparently passes ancillary data, including SMPTE timecode, closed captioning, and camera tally signals.
