FAQs

What video formats does the Videohub Mini 8x4 12G support?

It supports all standard SDI formats including SD, HD, and Ultra HD up to 2160p60. This includes formats like 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and 2160p.

Can I use the router with non-SDI sources?

How do I control the routing?

You can control routing using the intuitive front panel buttons or via Ethernet using Blackmagic's control software.

Is the USB-C output a data port or a video output?

The USB-C port functions as a webcam video output, allowing you to connect the router to a computer for streaming or recording.

Does each output have its own clean switch?

Yes, each of the four video outputs has its own clean switch, enabling stable video transitions without frame drops.

What is the power consumption?

The maximum power consumption is 23 Watts.

Troubleshooting

No video signal on outputs

Verify that SDI cables are securely connected to both inputs and outputs. Ensure the selected input source is active and transmitting video. Check that the output is routed to the correct destination in the routing software or via front panel controls.

USB-C webcam not recognized by computer

Confirm the USB-C cable is properly connected. Try a different USB-C port on your computer. Ensure your operating system and streaming/recording software are up to date.

Intermittent signal loss

Inspect SDI cables for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure all BNC connectors are clean and making good contact. Test with different SDI sources and destinations to isolate the issue.

Front panel buttons unresponsive

Check the Ethernet connection if remote control is active, as it may take precedence. Try power cycling the unit by disconnecting and reconnecting the power adapter.
