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.
World’s 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.
