Using Videohub Routers
Smart Videohub 20x20
Smart Videohub 20x20 is a tiny router with a built in control panel and LCD and is perfect for locations
where minimal space is available, such as outside broadcast trucks. It features 20 SDI inputs, 20 SDI outputs,
reference input, a universal power supply and powerful Videohub routing control software.
All SDI connections support auto detection of SD, HD, 3G-SDI and 6G-SDI, and reclocking on all SDI inputs.
Simultaneous routing of UltraHD 4K, HD, SD video and DVB-ASI are supported with Smart Videohub 20x20.
Local router control is easy and intuitive using the built in control panel and LCD, and requires no configuration
and no computer. The LCD allows you preview source and destination video without an external monitor.
Remote router control can also be performed via 10/100Base-T Ethernet or serial connections. If router
control is performed via Ethernet, the integrated “Videohub Server” is used and you need only provide an
Ethernet cable to connect Smart Videohub 20x20 to your Ethernet network switch.
Third party router controllers can control Smart Videohub 20x20 via Ethernet, or as an RS-422 slave device,
for router crosspoint switching.
Occasional firmware updates can be downloaded from the Blackmagic Design website. The Videohub
firmware update utility runs on Mac OS X and Windows computers and uses a USB 2.0 connection to Smart
Videohub 20x20. You will need to provide a USB 2.0 type A Male to Mini B cable.
Smart Videohub 20x20 is 1 rack unit high and features a shallow form factor. You will need to leave enough
space in your equipment rack to install the Smart Videohub hardware. You can rack-mount Smart Videohub
20x20 at the front or at the rear of the rack to leave space for other equipment.
Smart Videohub 20x20 includes a universal power supply for use in all countries. You will need to provide a
standard IEC cord with a C13 connector and a mains power socket. A second power socket will be required
if you decide to use a dedicated server computer.
