Getting Started with Videohub Routers
Plugging in Video
All SDI connections support auto detection of SD, HD or 3G-SDI, and reclocking on all SDI outputs.
Additionally, both the Smart Videohub 20x20 and Smart Videohub 12x12 also support 6G-SDI for UltraHD
4K video. All Videohub models feature regular-sized BNC ports which make it easy to connect to other SDI
equipment using regular SDI cables. If you're connecting Videohub to SDI equipment which has miniature
SDI connectors, such as DIN 1.0/2.3, we recommend using SDI cables which are terminated with a miniature
connector at one end and a regular BNC at the other.
