Getting Started with Videohub Routers
Introducing Blackmagic Videohub Control
Blackmagic Videohub Control provides a fast and intuitive way to view and switch between multiple
sources and destinations. Videohub Control is easy to use because it operates on a single video output
at a time. Selecting a destination (output) pushbutton shows which source (input) is connected to it by
illuminating the source pushbutton. To change the source, simply click on a different source pushbutton.
It's that easy!
Selecting a Videohub
Launch Videohub Control and click on Settings (the gear icon) and choose "Select Videohub". Click on
the Videohub that you wish to control. If you completed the previous section on customizing labels, the
names you assigned will appear within the software.
Adding Pushbuttons
Select the Settings button and then select "Edit Buttons". Click on the Add button and choose whether
to add a source or destination pushbutton. The Set Button window appears and allows you to set the
SDI source or destination, RS-422 deck control and icon for the pushbutton. In most cases, deck control
is grouped with the associated SDI connections.
Viewing Routes
In order to see which video source has been routed to a video destination, such as a monitor, press the
button in the destinations panel to make the button illuminate. The associated video source button will
illuminate in the sources panel, making it immediately obvious which source is connected to the monitor.
Switching Routes
In order to change the video source from a tape deck to a video camera, press a camera pushbutton
in the sources panel to immediately illuminate the camera pushbutton and route video to the video
monitor. The tape deck button is no longer illuminated and is disconnected from the video monitor.
See page 50 for more information on using Videohub Control.
This destination is unlocked and is available to any Videohub
user on the network. The associated video source is
illuminated in the Sources panel and the source name
"DaVinci" is displayed.
Videohub Control provides an intuitive, icon-driven
representation of the Videohub connections.
