The Blackmagic Design Videohub Mini 6x2 12G is an ultra‑compact, zero‑latency SDI router engineered for professional live production and broadcast environments. Housed in a sleek 1/3 rack‑width chassis, it supports any combination of SD, HD, Ultra HD, and DCI 4K signals up to 2160p60. The robust metal build and compact footprint make it ideal for OB trucks, broadcast racks, streaming desks, and any situation where space is at a premium yet flexible video routing is essential.
On the rear panel, four multirate 12G‑SDI inputs each feature their own loop‑through BNC, while two dedicated 12G‑SDI outputs deliver clean, re‑clocked feeds to downstream devices. An emergency front‑panel 12G‑SDI input and USB‑C webcam output override corresponding rear ports, enabling on‑the‑fly patching and direct live streaming to conferencing or recording software. Clean‑switch re‑sync processors on every input guarantee frame‑accurate transitions without dropped frames.
Control options are lightning fast and versatile: front‑panel push‑buttons and a precision rotary knob allow direct, tactile routing control, while Ethernet connectivity provides remote management via the free Videohub software, the Videohub SDK, or compatible hardware panels like
Smart Control Pro and
Master Control Pro. A USB‑C interface doubles as a webcam output and connection point for firmware updates or the Videohub Setup utility, streamlining integration with Mac and Windows workstations.
Advanced signal integrity features include automatic SDI format switching on each input—seamlessly accommodating 270 Mb SD‑SDI, 1.5G HD‑SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G‑SDI, and 12G‑SDI sources—and full SDI re‑clocking on every output to regenerate jitter‑free signals over long cable runs. Support for SMPTE video standards, 24‑bit/48 kHz embedded audio, and industry‑standard color spaces ensures pristine video and audio quality across mixed‑format installations.
Despite its powerful capabilities, the
Videohub Mini 4x2 12G draws just 17W from its internal universal AC supply or optional 12V DC input, operating reliably from 0°C to 40°C at up to 90% non‑condensing humidity. Measuring only 6.82" x 5.51" x 1.82" and weighing under 2 lb, it installs effortlessly in any rack or desktop setup. Included is a welcome wallet with QR code for software download and a one‑year limited manufacturer’s warranty, delivering turnkey, broadcast‑grade SDI routing in the smallest possible package.
