Getting Started with Videohub Routers
Network Preferences in Mac OS X set to “Using DHCP with
manual address” to provide a static IP address.
Network control panel in Windows set to “Use the following
IP address” to provide a static IP address.
Configuring your Videohub Server Settings
If you will be using Ethernet to connect to your Videohub, refer to the "Configuring Videohub with
Blackmagic Videohub Setup" section on the next page.
Videohubs without Ethernet are connected to a computer via USB and other control panels can see
the Videohub by looking for this computer. It effectively becomes a "server", that all the other control
panels on the network can connect to.
A Videohub "server" needs a static IP address and your network administrator will probably want to
configure this for you. Please follow the steps below for your respective operating system.
