About Blackmagic Design Universal Videohub 288,Up to 288xSDI/HD-SDI

The Universal Videohub 288 is the ultimate 3G/HD/SD and deck control routing switcher. With a choice of 72 x 72 or 288 x 288 crosspoint cards, the frame can be easily upgraded using the hot swappable regular BNC SDI or optical fiber interface modules that also include full deck control. If you need redundancy then simply add a second crosspoint card for true 24/7 reliability!

All inputs have auto standards detection and all outputs are re-clocked. Universal Videohub 288 features an 18 rack unit frame that is less than 6 inches deep. You also get ethernet and serial connectivity, third party control and redundant power supplies. Universal Videohub 288 lets you start small for an affordable cost and then expand its size and even add full redundancy as your needs grow!

Blackmagic Design Universal Videohub 288,Up to 288xSDI/HD-SDI Features

  • Build it Yourself: Universal Videohub ships unpopulated, without any cards plugged in, so you are free to build your router any way you want!
  • 24/7 Broadcast Reliability: Universal Videohub is the router you need for true 24/7 reliability because its card based design lets every electronic component be easily replaced in the rare event of failure
