My station has a router from one of the traditional manufacturers that has served me well (Not naming them here). I have been looking at adding more I/O to the router, taking it from 24x16 HD to 32x24. For roughly the same cost as adding 8 in and 8 out to my existing router, I can buy a Smart VideoHub 40x40. (Of course, not including control panels.) But the question I have is not about the cost, but about the reliability. The idea of using this router as my primary router in a 24x7 TV station with news makes me skittish, but I don't know why. I've got a smattering of Blackmagic gear around the plant (mostly small converters), and I've never had a problem.
So, what's your experience with the Router? I saw on this forum there was a prior issue of loss of communication with the panels, didn't see a resolution on that thread, but also didn't see any current problems like it. Any other problems? If you had an issue, how quick was it resolved for you?
Thanks!
