Cascading Hubs

UDM-1604C 4x16 Multi-Format Distribution Hub
Example 2 - Cascading Two Hubs
In a cascaded two Hub system, there is a Master Hub, and two Target Hubs.
Again, in this example assume that the Inputs on the Master Hub are named "A", "B", "C" and "D", and
the inputs on the first Target Hub are named "E", "F", "G" and "H".
Further assume that the Inputs on the second Target Hub have been named "I", "J", "K" and "L"
(FIG. 118).
Again, the Master Hub can only distribute Inputs "A", "B", "C", and "D".
Again, via the Cascade options in the Inputs page for the Master Hub, Inputs "A" and "C" are selected
to Cascade (FIG. 116):
In this case the Cascade options in the Inputs page for the first Target Hub, Inputs "E" and "H" are
selected to Cascade (FIG. 120):
As a result, inputs "J" and "K" on the second Target Hub will present the Cascaded inputs "F" and "C"
from the first Target Hub (as opposed to the Local Inputs "I" and "G"), as indicated in FIG. 121:

The Cascade option on the corresponding Input which is actually being cascaded
does not need to be checked in its Hub. Only the Inputs through which the signal will
cascade need to be configured as Cascade.
