Selecting Units using Numeric Buttons and the Scroll Wheel
If you have customized the Videohub port labels with numbers, you can use the numeric 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 groups of equipment
together by numbers, perhaps to represent locations. For example, all the equipment in Studio 3
could be labeled VTR3, Edit 3, Cam 3A, Cam 3B, Mon 3A and Mon 3B etc.
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 Using the numeric pushbuttons, type the destination number, e.g., 3 for Studio 3. Each
numeric button will flash gold as you press it.
4 Scroll the wheel forwards or backwards until the desired destination is found. In this
example, any of VTR 3, Edit 3, Mon 3A or Mon 3B could be displayed on the LCD. If
you make a mistake, press the white ‘clear’ button and select another destination number.
5 Press the source button marked ‘SRC’. The source field will be highlighted blue on the LCD.
6 Using the numeric pushbuttons, type the source number, e.g., 3 for Studio 3. Each numeric
button will flash white as you press it.
7 Scroll the wheel forwards or backwards until the desired source is found. In this example,
any of VTR 3, Edit 3, Cam 3A or Cam 3B could be displayed on the LCD. If you make a
mistake, press the white ‘clear’ button and select another source number.
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.
In this example, the numeric button “3” has been selected so only video sources with a
“3” in their label will be listed, 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 based upon a group number, e.g. only list the equipment in Studio 3.
Selecting Units using Both Customizable and Numeric Buttons
If you have customized the Videohub port labels with names and numbers, you can use the
customizable buttons and numeric buttons together to directly select sources and destinations.
This method is very fast and intuitive because you don’t have to scroll through a list of
equipment and you only have to remember how many of each type of equipment you have,
e.g., two VTRs and four monitors.
This method is very helpful if you label types of equipment by name and number, e.g., VTR 01,
VTR 02, Cam 01, Cam 02, Cam 03, Mon 01, Mon 02, Mon 03 and Mon 04.
