Compact size: 8RU chassis is less than 1in. deep. Price: $14,995

Pity the small production facility that wants to grow beyond a messy set of patch panels to something more organized: Until recently, not much has been available besides broadcast-oriented gear. Now, Blackmagic Design solves the problem in its usual innovative way. The Broadcast Videohub, described by the company as the “world's largest affordable SDI router,” is just that. The device includes 72 SDI inputs, 144 SDI outputs, 72 deck-control ports, twin redundant-power connections, and SDI reclocking. There's simple setup, too, because connections are grouped together (SDI input, SDI output, deck-control port, and SDI-monitor output) for each user.
