12 x 12 6G-SDI multi format SD, HD and Ultra HD SDI router, re-synchronizer on each input

Smart Videohub CleanSwitch 12x12 is a compact 6G-SDI router with built-in resynchers on all inputs that allows clean switching between all video sources of the same standard. It can also be used as 12 resynchers for automatic synchronization of SDI feeds.

It supports 12 inputs and 12 outputs in virtually all SD, HD, and Ultra HD video formats, supports multiple formats on the same router simultaneously, and cleanly switches between multiple formats that match the target frame rate when switching between the same video standard. It includes front-panel buttons and rotary encoders, a sleek machined metal front panel with an LCD for routing visualization and video monitoring, and remote Ethernet control.
