Blackmagic Design Videohub Mini 4x2 12G Router

The Blackmagic Design Videohub Mini 4x2 12G Router is a compact, powerful SDI router designed for live production flexibility and efficient signal management. With a sleek form factor that takes up just a third of a rack width, it offers professional-grade routing with four 12G-SDI inputs, four loop outputs, and two 12G-SDI outputs on the rear panel. For quick, on-the-fly connections, an additional 12G-SDI input and USB-C output are located on the front panel, making it easy to connect new sources without needing to access the back. The USB-C port is a webcam output, allowing users to live stream SDI video directly to software such as Zoom or OBS in 1080p quality.

Designed to streamline cable management and minimize downtime, the Videohub Mini is perfect for studios, DIT carts, and OB trucks where space and speed matter. It enables seamless source switching for ATEM switchers, streaming encoders, and HyperDeck recorders without repatching cables during a shoot. The router’s front panel includes dedicated buttons and a knob for intuitive cut-bus-style switching, allowing fast selection of sources and destinations.

Thanks to its multi-rate 12g-SDI connections, the Videohub Mini supports all SD, HD, and Ultra HD video formats up to 2160p60. It can also route mixed standards simultaneously, offering unmatched flexibility in professional workflows. Every output includes a clean switch function for seamless source transitions. This unique per-output clean switching means you can choose which devices require synchronized switching, such as streaming encoders while allowing recorders to receive unaltered signal feeds.

A standout feature of the Videohub Mini is its built-in SDI re-clocking on all inputs. This ensures maximum signal integrity by regenerating the video signal, helping to prevent errors and eliminate dropouts, especially over long cable runs. Combined with the router’s front panel emergency SDI input, it is a reliable option in high-pressure environments where rapid changes or fixes may be necessary.

The front USB-C output is a standard webcam to your computer for ultimate convenience, enabling compatibility with popular video conferencing and streaming platforms. You can easily route high-quality SDI signals directly into Zoom, Teams, or OBS without additional converters.

Control can be achieved remotely via the front panel, the free Videohub software, or by integrating with Blackmagic's Master Control Pro hardware panel. Developers can use the included SDK to build custom control integrations. Power options include a built-in AC power supply and a 12 VDC input for redundancy, providing flexibility in mobile and fixed installations.

Whether you're building out a portable flypack, upgrading a broadcast studio, or ensuring mission-critical signal management in a live event setup, the Blackmagic Videohub Mini 4x2 12G Router delivers unmatched versatility, signal integrity, and intuitive control in a space-saving design.
