Videohubs with serial ports next send a block which describes the direction of each serial port. Each port
has a direction of either "control" for the "In (Workstation)" setting, "slave" for "Out (Deck)", or "auto" for
"Automatic".

Videohubs with pluggable cards (only Universal Videohubs) send three more blocks that describe the
hardware status of the ports. Missing video or serial ports have a status of “None“; input and output video
ports will be “BNC“ or “Optical“ if they are present; serial ports will be “RS422“ if they are present.
