Eliminate Glitches with Professional Clean Switching
Elevate your live production quality with the Blackmagic Smart Videohub CleanSwitch 12x12, the world's first compact 6G-SDI router designed for truly seamless, glitch-free switching. Say goodbye to distracting jumps and black frames when changing sources. The magic lies in its powerful, built-in re-synchronizers on every single one of the 12 inputs. This professional-grade technology automatically re-times all incoming SDI feeds to a common clock, ensuring every switch you make is perfectly clean and synchronized, even when your video sources aren't genlocked. This makes it an indispensable tool for live events, broadcast studios, and high-end AV installations where professionalism is non-negotiable.
Beyond its core clean switching capability, the CleanSwitch 12x12 is a remarkably versatile and future-proof hub for your entire video ecosystem. It's a true multi-rate router, automatically detecting and handling virtually any video format, from standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) all the way up to Ultra HD 4K (2160p30). You can route multiple formats simultaneously, providing incredible flexibility for complex setups. The elegant, machined metal front panel isn't just for looks; it features an integrated LCD screen for visual routing confirmation, a spin knob for navigating sources and destinations, and dedicated buttons for direct, tactile control. For larger setups or remote operation, full control is also available via the Ethernet port, allowing you to manage your routing from a computer using Blackmagic's free software. Housed in a compact 1RU chassis, the Smart Videohub CleanSwitch 12x12 packs immense power into a small footprint, making it the ultimate solution for professional, broadcast-quality routing and switching.
