This advanced router provides 20 12G-SDI inputs and 20 12G-SDI outputs for routing any combination of SD, HD, UHD 4K, and DCI 4K video. The Videohub 20x20 12G centralizes all your SDI cables in one hub, enabling you to connect any video input to any video output, or a single video input to multiple video outputs while eliminating clusters of cables and the need for complex diagrams. This versatile unit can be used with multiple HyperDeck recorders for redundant mastering, to route video to multiple streaming processors for all your broadcast platforms, or to add extra inputs to an ATEM switcher.
