The
Blackmagic Design Videohub Mini 8×4 12G is an very compact, zero‑latency SDI router designed for live production environments that demand flexibility and reliability. Housed in a ⅔ rack‑width chassis, it supports any combination of SD, HD, UHD 4K, and DCI 4K signals, making it ideal for OB trucks, broadcast racks, and compact studios. With its robust 12G‑SDI architecture, the
Videohub Mini 8x4 12G ensures seamless integration of up to eight high‑resolution sources into your workflow.
On the rear panel you’ll find eight multirate 12G‑SDI inputs—each with an individual loop‑through BNC—plus four dedicated 12G‑SDI outputs. Every output features a “clean switch” re‑sync processor, allowing independent switching without dropped frames when locked to an external Blackburst or Tri‑sync reference. Front‑panel override connections include an emergency 12G‑SDI input and a 12G‑SDI output that mirrors the highest numbered output, so you can patch in critical feeds without rewiring your rack.
Control is lightning‑fast via push‑button routing and a rotary knob, or remotely over Ethernet using the free Videohub software, Blackmagic’s SDK, or compatible hardware panels like Smart Control Pro. A front USB‑C webcam output presents any SDI source as a 1080 HD webcam, enabling desktop streaming, conferencing, and cue‑monitoring without additional converters. The intuitive interface and versatile control options make on‑the‑fly reconfiguration effortless.
Built for broadcast‑grade performance, the
Blackmagic Videohub Mini 8x4 12G auto‑switches between 270Mb, 1.5G, 3G, 6G, and 12G‑SDI formats on every input and reclocks every SDI signal to maintain optimal integrity over long cable runs. Support for SMPTE‑specified color spaces, ancillary metadata, and 24‑bit/48 kHz embedded audio ensures pristine video and audio quality across all formats up to 2160p60.
Despite its dense feature set, the router draws just 23W from its built‑in 100–240V AC or 12V DC power inputs, and operates reliably from 0°C to 40°C with up to 90% non‑condensing humidity. Measuring just 11" x 6.82" x 1.82" and weighing 3.6 lb, it installs easily in portable racks or desktop setups. Included is a one‑year limited manufacturer's warranty, making the
Videohub Mini 8×4 12G a turnkey solution for demanding SDI routing applications.
