The Blackmagic Design Videohub Mini 6x2 12G is an very compact, is a professional‑grade, zero‑latency SDI router engineered for live production environments. Housed in a half‑rack width chassis, this compact router supports any combination of SD, HD, Ultra HD, and DCI 4K signals up to 2160p60 simultaneously, making it ideal for OB trucks, broadcast racks, and desktop installations requiring flexible signal management.
On the rear panel, six multirate 12G‑SDI inputs with individual loop‑through BNCs and two dedicated 12G‑SDI outputs deliver high‑throughput video routing. Each output features a clean‑switch re‑sync processor when locked to the built‑in reference I/O, ensuring glitch‑free transitions between sources. The front panel adds an emergency SDI input and USB‑C webcam output that overrides corresponding rear ports for on‑the‑fly patching and direct streaming to conferencing or recording software.
Routing control is lightning‑fast with front‑panel push‑buttons and a rotary knob, while remote management over Ethernet is available via the free Videohub software, Blackmagic Videohub SDK, or compatible hardware panels like Smart Control Pro and Master Control Pro. Multirate auto‑switching automatically adapts to any SDI format—270 Mb to 12 Gb—on each input, enabling seamless integration of legacy and next‑generation equipment without manual reconfiguration.
Broadcast‑quality performance is assured with full SDI re‑clocking on every input and output, regenerating signals to eliminate jitter and maintain integrity over extended cable runs. The router supports YUV 4:2:2 and RGB 4:4:4 video sampling, 24‑bit/48 kHz embedded audio, and SMPTE/ITU color spaces for pristine video and audio fidelity. Ancillary metadata support and robust SDI compliance ensure compatibility with modern production workflows.
Built for 24/7 operation, the Videohub Mini 6x2 12G draws just 18.5 W from its internal universal AC supply or 12 V DC input, and operates reliably in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C with up to 90% non‑condensing humidity. Measuring only 8.27" × 6.82" × 1.82" and weighing 2.9 lb, it installs easily 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 a compact package.
