Welcome
Thank you for purchasing your Videohub control!
We hope you share our dream for the television industry to become truly creative
by allowing anyone to have access to the highest quality video.
Videohub Master Control, Videohub Smart Control and our GPI and Tally Interface
are simple to install. We've extracted the relevant pages from the Videohub manual
so you don't need to read too much. All the information in this mini manual can also
be found in the Videohub manual.
Previously, high end television and post production required investing in millions of
dollars of hardware, and professional SDI routers have always been way too costly for
most people to afford. HD-SDI is even more expensive and, until now, only the largest
post production and television facilities could afford HD-SDI routing. Videohub
changes all that, even enabling you to pipe 2K film around your studio just like
video. Now, Videohub Control makes it even easier to route video using dedicated
broadcast quality hardware control panels that are also affordable. We hope you get
years of use from it and have lots of fun connecting everyone in your facility together!
This instruction manual contains all the information you’ll need to install your
Videohub Control and GPI and Tally Interface, although it’s always a good idea to ask
a technical assistant for help if you are not sure what IP addresses are, or if you don’t
know much about computer networks. Videohub Control is easy to install, however,
there are a few slightly technical preferences you will need to set after you install it.
We think it should take you approximately 5 minutes to complete installation.
Please check our website at www.blackmagicdesign.com and click the support page
to download the latest updates to this manual and Videohub software including the
Blackmagic Videohub Hardware Panel Setup. Lastly, please register your Videohub
Control when downloading software updates so we can keep you updated when new
software is released. We are constantly working on new features and improvements,
so we would love to hear from you!
