Selecting Units using Customizable Buttons and the Scroll Wheel
If you have customized the Videohub port labels, you can use the customizable buttons and
scroll wheel together to find a short list of sources and destinations. This method is fast and
intuitive because you only have to scroll through a short list of equipment and you don’t have
to remember any port numbers. This method is very helpful if you label types of equipment
together by name, e.g., VTR, Cam and Mon.
1 Press the destination button marked ‘DEST’. The destination field will be highlighted blue
on the LCD.
2 If your Videohub router has RS-422 remote control, press the LEVEL button until you have
set the appropriate routing level for your equipment. Otherwise you can skip this step.
3 Press a button you have customized for a type of destination equipment, e.g., VTR.
The button should light up gold.
4 Scroll the wheel forwards or backwards until the desired destination is found. In this
example, the destination VTR will be displayed on the LCD. If you make a mistake, press
thewhite ‘clear’ button and scroll until the correct destination is displayed.
5 Press the source button marked ‘SRC’. The source field will be highlighted blue on the LCD.
6 Press a button you have customized for a type of source equipment, e.g., a capture card.
The button should light up white.
7 Scroll the wheel forwards or backwards until the desired source is found. In this example,
the source capture card will be displayed on the LCD. If you make a mistake, press the
white ‘clear’ button and scroll until the correct destination is displayed.
8 The ‘take’ button will flash red, awaiting your confirmation of the route change. Press ‘take’
and the route will change immediately. Otherwise, press ‘clear’ and no route change will
take place. Videohub Master Control will then return to its idle state with the latest route
displayed on the LCD.
If any button you have customized for either a source or destination flashes but does not
stay lit, Videohub Master Control is preventing you from selecting the button because the
equipment type has not been labeled as a source or destination device or does not match
the current routing level. For example, cameras should not usually be set as destination
devices, monitors should not be set as source devices and won’t match the RS-422 routing
level. Refer to Configuring Videohub Master Control Pro for steps on how to change this.
In this example, a customized Cam button has been selected so only cameras will be
listed as sources, on the LCD, when the scroll wheel is rotated. This provides a fast way
to find a video source because you only have to scroll through a short list of equipment.
