Product Overview
Blackmagic Design's Universal Videohub 288 rack frame lets you add up to 72 BNC SDI or optical fiber SDI interfaces plus dual 288 x 288 crosspoint cards and up to two power cards. Add a single crosspointfor affordability, or add dual crosspoint and power cards for full redundancy. Includes removable fan tray and fans.
The Universal Videohub 288 is the ultimate 3G/HD/SD and deck control routing switcher. With 288 x 288 crosspoint cards, the frame can be easily upgraded using 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!
