Blackmagic Design Videohub Mini 12G Router, 1/2U rack

The Blackmagic Videohub Mini 12G 6x2 is a space-saving yet robust video router designed to bring the full power of 12G-SDI switching into tight production spaces. With a 1/2 rack-width form factor, this 6-input, 2-output model fits perfectly into portable flypacks, mobile racks, and broadcast vehicles where every inch matters. Despite its size, it delivers pro-grade functionality, supporting SD, HD, and Ultra HD up to 2160p60 via its multi-rate 12G-SDI connections. Key to its versatility is the clean switch function on each output-ensuring seamless transitions between sources, ideal for streaming encoders, monitors, or recorders. The unit's SDI re-clocking on all inputs stabilizes long cable runs, preventing signal degradation and ensuring pristine video delivery. Front panel controls provide fast routing with a cut-bus style interface and dedicated buttons for inputs and outputs. For added flexibility, the 6x2 model includes emergency front-panel 12G-SDI I/O-perfect for quickly patching in extra gear without reconfiguring rear connections. It also features a USB-C output that emulates a webcam, enabling easy integration with video software for HD streaming and conferencing. Whether used to expand input capabilities on an ATEM switcher, manage sources to HyperDeck recorders, or as a portable routing hub for remote production, the Blackmagic Videohub Mini 6x2 delivers big performance in a small, rack-ready package.
