We have now completed a basic routing workflow using the source input and destination
outputbuttons, plus the search dial.
TIP To turn the ‘in’ button off, simply press it again to deselect it.
That’s all there is to getting started with your Videohub! The next section of the manual will
describe how to use the shortcut buttons.
Shortcut Buttons
The labeled shortcut buttons above the numbered buttons let you make more specific
selections using Videohub’s built in filtering system.
Your Videohub is shipped with shortcut buttons already labeled to match common sources and
destinations that are used in production facilities and studios. For example, ‘DECK’ for recording
and playback decks, ‘CAM’ for cameras, ‘EDIT’ for edit bays, etc. When changing a route, you
can narrow down your selection by pressing a shortcut button. This reduces the options to
a smallerset, which can make the process faster when using larger Videohubs with a lot of
equipment connected.

A Note about Shortcut Buttons
Before you can use the shortcut buttons, you will need to label the inputs and outputs
so the Videohub filtering system has labels to work with.
Labeling inputs and outputs is performed using Blackmagic Videohub Setup software.
This utility is included in the free Videohub software available for download at the
Blackmagic Support Center at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support
We recommend installing the setup software and labeling your Videohub’s inputs
and outputs, then returning to this section for information on how to use the shortcut
buttons. If you have already labeled the inputs and outputs, please continue reading
this section.
For all information regarding Videohub software refer to the ‘Blackmagic Videohub
Software’ section.
