Using Videohub Smart Control
Using Videohub Smart Control as a Cut-Bus Controller
If Videohub Smart Control has been configured as a Cut-Bus controller, the destination device has already
been chosen and you only need to choose a video source.
Step 1. Select a white video source button. The button will light up to distinguish it from the other
sources. The video source will immediately connect and be viewable on the destination device.
Step 2. If the Take button has been enabled, the new source button and the Take button will flash.
The route change will only take place when you confirm by pressing the Take button.
Using Videohub Smart Control as an XY Controller
If Videohub Smart Control has been configured as an XY controller, destination buttons light up gold
and source buttons light up white. When working with multiple destinations, always select a destination
button before selecting a source button.
To change routes:
Step 1. Select a gold destination button and it will light up brightly to distinguish itself from the other
destination buttons. If a video source has previously been connected to this destination, its
button will light up white.
Step 2. To connect a new source to the destination, press the desired video source button. The video
source will immediately be connected and viewable on the destination device. The new source
button will be brightly lit and the previous source button will dim to normal. To change another
route, select another destination button and then select a new source button.
Step 3. If the Take button has been enabled, the new source button and the Take button will flash.
The route change will only take place when you confirm by pressing the Take button.
Locking and Unlocking Routes
To lock a destination, press and hold the desired destination button until it turns blue. The corresponding
source button will illuminate. If you attempt to change sources for a locked destination, the destination button
will flash blue. To unlock a destination, press and hold the button until it returns to the standard gold color.
Using Macros
If you press a green macro button, it will simultaneously make the crosspoint changes you have previously
configured in the Videohub Hardware Panel Setup software. Each button can be configured with up
to 16 crosspoint routes. If you have the Take button enabled, the simultaneous change of routes will
only take place when you confirm by pressing the Take button. If for any reason the macro cannot be
performed, the button will flash.
