Using Videohub Routers
Smart Videohub 12x12
Smart Videohub 12x12 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 12 SDI inputs, 12 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 Ultra HD, HD, SD video and DVB-ASI are supported with Smart Videohub 12x12.
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 12x12 to your Ethernet network switch.
Third party router controllers can control Smart Videohub via Ethernet, or as an RS-422 slave device, for
router crosspoint switching.
Occasionally, the internal software of the Smart Videohub 12x12 will need to be updated. Videohub
Setup will prompt you if an update is required. The utility uses the USB 2.0 connection and you will need
to provide a USB 2.0 type A Male to Mini B cable.
Smart Videohub 12x12 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 at the front or at the rear of the rack to leave space for other equipment.
Smart Videohub 12x12 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.
Turn the page for instructions on how to make route changes with the control panel and LCD. Alternatively,
if you need to learn how to integrate your router into an existing network, turn to page 7.
