Using Software Control Panels
62
You may choose to show a particular source or destination pushbutton several times within the one
Pushbutton screen or on multiple Pushbutton screens. If a destination pushbutton is routed from a source
that appears multiple times in the Sources panel, selecting the destination pushbutton will illuminate all
instances of the source pushbutton, regardless of how deck control has been configured for each source
pushbutton. Similarly if multiple instances of an output pushbutton appear in the Destinations panel, they
will illuminate together when any one has been selected.
Viewing and Changing Routes
In order to see which video source has been routed to a particular destination, such as a monitor, press the
monitor’s pushbutton in the destinations panel. The monitor button and the associated video source button
will simultaneously illuminate, making it immediately obvious which video source is connected to the video
monitor, e.g., a HyperDeck Studio Pro.
In order to change the video source from a HyperDeck Studio Pro to a video camera, press a camera
pushbutton in the sources panel to immediately illuminate the camera pushbutton and route video to the
video monitor. The HyperDeck Studio Pro pushbutton will no longer be illuminated and will be disconnected
from the video monitor.
Locking and Unlocking Routes
Locking a destination avoids accidental changes of the video source being routed to that destination. To
lock a route between an input and an output, double-tap the destination pushbutton. A yellow padlock
icon will appear in the top-left corner of the destination pushbutton and will prevent anyone else from using
the destination device until it is unlocked from your iPad. Double-tap the destination pushbutton again
to unlock. Locking a destination still leaves the associated video source available for routing to multiple
destinations simultaneously.
Locking a route between an input and an output also locks the RS-422 deck control connection between the
two devices. This is to avoid other users accidentally seizing the deck control belonging to the video source.
The RS-422 connection between the video source and video destination will remain locked until the
destination pushbutton is unlocked.
A gray padlock icon will appear on any destination pushbuttons that other users have locked. The video
destination devices will not be available to you until the destination pushbuttons have been unlocked from
the other users’ computers and iPads.
If you encounter a gray padlock icon and do not know who locked the video device you can override the
lock using the Videohub software on a Mac OS X or Windows computer. When a route is unlocked, the
padlock icon will disappear.
A yellow padlock icon will appear in the top-left corner of the
destination pushbutton and will prevent anyone else from using
the destination device until it is unlocked from your iPad. A gray
padlock icon will appear on any destination pushbuttons that
other users have locked.
In order to see which video source has been routed to a video
destination, tap a destination button and the associated video
source button will illuminate.
