Familiar controls & connections
The Smart Videohub family of professional SDI video routers features 6G-SDI technology so customers can simultaneously connect and route any combination of SD, HD and Ultra HD video all on the same router at the same time. Using the front panel, customers can take advantage of Blackmagic Design's unique, revolutionary Visual Routing which combines a spin knob and button entry with a high resolution LCD screen that displays custom router labels over live video from the inputs.
