Universal Videohub 288 Crosspoint Card
This module contains the crosspoint processor for switching video routes and changing deck control
ports. Ethernet, USB and serial ports are located on the card for router control.
A Reference input is located on the card for connection to a tri-level sync or black burst genlock signal.
An Alarm light will illuminate on the card if user intervention is required, e.g., if inadequate cooling has
caused Videohub to overheat. Alarm notification is supplied by the GPI (General Purpose Interface)
output to other devices.
A Power Overload light will illuminate on the card if inadequate power is being supplied to the unit for
the number of cards installed.
You will need a number 01 size Pozidriv screwdriver to install the Universal Videohub 288 Crosspoint card.
Router Control Cable
Remote router control is performed via 10/100Base-T Ethernet or serial. If router control is performed
via Ethernet, the integrated Videohub Server is used. This means you only need to provide an Ethernet
cable to connect Universal Videohub 288 to your Ethernet network switch.
Third party router controllers can control Universal Videohub 288 via Ethernet, or as an RS-422 slave
device, for router crosspoint switching. Please refer to the Developer Information section of this manual
for Videohub and RS-422 protocols.
Power Supply
When fully populated and running at maximum power consumption, Universal Videohub 288 can be
powered by a single Universal Videohub Power Supply.
The Universal Videohub Power Supply package includes a power card with a single connection to a
1 RU size rack mount chassis which contains the power supply.
The Universal Videohub Power Supply chassis contains a universal power supply for use in all countries.
You will need to provide a standard IEC cord with a C13 connector.
