(Las Vegas NAB Booth Booth SL6020, NV—April 13, 2010) Blackmagic Design today announced Micro Videohub, the worlds smallest 16 x 16 SDI router with 3 Gb/s SDI, auto switching SD, HD and 3 Gb/s SDI formats, full SDI re-clocking, USB, ethernet and serial router control for only $1995.

Micro Videohub will be demonstrated on the Blackmagic Design NAB 2010 booth at #SL 6020.

Micro Videohub is only 1 rack unit and less than an inch deep. It includes advanced features such as 3 Gb/s SDI, auto switching SD, HD and 3 Gb/s SDI, as well as full SDI re-clocking at an affordable price. Micro Videohub is perfect for customers who need an incredibly tiny router that also meets tough broadcast technical requirements for performance as well as reliability.

Micro Videohub includes more control interfaces such as easy to use USB, as well as direct ethernet and RS-422 serial interfaces. Direct ethernet router control allows direct connection to a computer network for control. Ethernet control is fully compatible with Blackmagic Design's wide range of software control panels and the new Videohub Smart Control hardware control panel.

Micro Videohub, like all Blackmagic Design Videohub routers, allows for a range of flexible control options. These include the free Videohub software control panels for easy to use icon-based push button control from any computer. Software control is ideal for video editors and designers who are already working on computers and prefer control from their desktop. Videohub routers also support the new Videohub Smart Control hardware control panels, for routing with a push of a button. Videohub Smart Control can be installed under each monitor or deck, so routing is incredibly fast.

Micro Videohub also includes a standard serial router control port, that lets system integrators interface to computers for automated routing control systems and integration into broadcast play out servers. The serial router control port uses industry standard protocols so is easy to use. For developers, the USB interface can also be used, combined with Blackmagic Design's Videohub SDK for Windows and Mac, so full control of router crosspoint switching is possible.

"Now we have a professional router that's perfect for small facilities or broadcast trucks!", said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design, "No other router is so small and so affordable, so I think Micro Videohub is going to help more people than ever to get the advantages of a professional SDI routing switcher in their facility!"

Micro Videohub is perfect for customers who have a tight budget, or need to fit routing into an incredibly small space.
