Build your own router with Universal Videohub 288!

If you're looking for true redundancy and the ability to build your own router with both BNC SDI and optical fiber SDI then Universal Videohub is the perfect choice. Universal Videohub comes in two models for a maximum 72 x 72 or 288 x 288 crosspoint size and because every module in the router is card based you can mix and match components to get the router you need and hot swap cards in the unlikely event of failure!

Universal Videohub includes powerful features such as SD HD and 3 Gb/s SDI auto-switching built in deck control ports and ethernet and serial crosspoint control. The larger Universal Videohub 288 model supports dual crosspoint and power supply cards for full redundancy. With Universal Videohub you get flexibility quality and redundancy all at an incredibly affordable price!

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 our 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!

Build it Yourself

Universal Videohub ships unpopulated without any cards plugged in so you are free to build your router any way you want! For example you can plug in BNC SDI cards and optical fiber SDI cards in any combination depending on the equipment you have. This makes it easy to partially load SDI interface cards to start at an affordable size and then add more SDI interface cards over time to grow to a massive 288 x 288 size! To make scalability even easier the cross point card and power supply cards from the Universal Videohub 72 can be plugged into the Universal Videohub 288. Only Universal Videohub lets you upgrade to a larger rack frame and keep their entire investment in interface cards and power supplies!

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. Universal Videohub has no electronic components on the motherboard and all electronics can be hot swapped with replacements in case of failure or when upgrading. Universal Videohub 288 even includes an extra slot for a redundant cross point and power supply. In case of failure the cross point will instantly change over allowing continuous operation.

True Multi Fault Redundancy

Universal Videohub 288 also offers true multiple fault redundancy where different faults in both crosspoint cards can be handled. In the rare event of multiple faults occurring in both cross point cards Universal Videohub 288 automatically detects and combines the still functioning parts of both cross point cards together to keep the router running. That's true multiple fault tolerance unique to Universal Videohub and eliminates any situation where a faulty crosspoint can go unnoticed and then be unavailable if the main crosspoint fails.

SDI Re-Clocking

Videohub also includes built in SDI re-clockers on each SDI input which regenerate the SDI video signal. Every inch of video cable from your SDI video devices degrades the SDI signal. Expensive premium grade digital cables can help however simply cannot eliminate this loss. With SDI re-clocking you can have a regenerated and clean SDI signal out to all the SDI devices in your studio. That means longer cable lengths and no glitches in your video.

Simultaneous SD HD or 3 Gb/s Video

Videohub makes it easy to run Standard Definition and High Definition equipment now and add 3 Gb/s SDI equipment in the future. That's because Videohub handles mixed SD HD and 3 Gb/s SDI connections all on the same router at the same time. Videohub automatically detects when an SDI input changes and instantly sets all SDI outputs connected to that input to match. SDI re-clocking and output SDI slew rates change automatically.

Highest Quality 3 Gb/s SDI

With the exciting new 3 Gb/s SDI connections built in Videohub allows twice the SDI data rate than normal HD-SDI. Use 3 Gb/s SDI for high resolution real time 2048 x 1556 feature film editing. 3 Gb/s SDI has full compatibility with SD HD or 2K in 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 all with a single BNC cable. With 3 Gb/s SDI built in you have full compatibility with all your current standard definition SDI and high definition SDI equipment plus any new formats that come along in the future. With Videohub your studio is future proof.
