Controlling Blackmagic MultiView 16 using Blackmagic
Videohub Control Software
When you have Blackmagic MultiView 16 connected to a network, you can use Blackmagic Videohub
Control on a Mac or Windows computer to route Blackmagic MultiView 16's video inputs to different
views within your multi view layout. Your Blackmagic MultiView 16's SDI inputs appear as pushbuttons
within the 'sources' panel, while the views appear as pushbuttons within the 'destinations' panel. The
Videohub Control application is part of the Videohub software installer which can be downloaded
from the Blackmagic Design support center at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
Select your MultiView 16
After launching the Videohub Control software, click on the gear icon to open the 'settings' pop up menu, and
choose "select Videohub". Select your Blackmagic MultiView 16's name from the list of connected devices.
If your inputs are labelled, the names you assigned will appear within the Videohub Control software.
If they are not labelled they will display as Input 1, Input 2, Input 3, etc.
Viewing your Inputs
To see which of your Blackmagic MultiView 16's video inputs is routed to a particular view, click a view
pushbutton in the destinations panel. The destination, or view, button will illuminate. In the 'sources'
panel, the pushbutton of the routed video input will also illuminate, making it clear which input, or
source, is routed to the view.
Routing Inputs to Views
To route a video input to a view, click a view pushbutton from the destination panel, then click an
input pushbutton in the sources panel to immediately route that input to the view.
Solo Input
Use the "solo input" pushbutton to determine which input is displayed full screen when the "solo" button
is enabled on the Blackmagic MultiView 16's front panel. Simply click on the "solo input" pushbutton
in the Videohub Control destinations panel, then click an input pushbutton in the sources panel.
Audio Input
Use the "audio input" pushbutton to determine which SDI input's audio is routed to the multi view
output. Simply click on the "audio input" pushbutton in the Videohub Control destinations panel,
then click an input pushbutton in the sources panel to immediately route that input's audio to the
multi view output.
The "solo input" and "audio input" pushbuttons allow you to
change the corresponding Blackmagic MultiView 16 settings
using Videohub Control.
You can use Blackmagic Videohub Control to route
Blackmagic MultiView 16's sources to different views.
