In this example, a customized Cam button has been selected so only cameras will be listed
as sources, on the LCD, when the scroll wheel is rotated. This provides a fast way to find
a video source because you only have to scroll through a short list of equipment.
How to select devices using the numeric buttons and scroll wheel
If you have customized the Videohub port labels with numbers, you can use the numeric
buttons and scroll wheel together to find a short list of sources and destinations. This method is
fast and intuitive because you only have to scroll through a short list of equipment and you
don’t have to remember any port numbers. This method is very helpful if you label groups of
equipment together by numbers, perhaps to represent locations. For example, all the
equipment in Studio 3 could be labeled VTR3, Edit 3, Cam 3A, Cam 3B, Mon 3A and
Mon 3B etc.
1 Press the DEST button. The destination field will be highlighted blue on the LCD.
2 If your Videohub router has RS-422 remote control, press the LEVEL button until you
have set the appropriate routing level for your equipment. Otherwise you can skip
this step.
3 Using the numeric pushbuttons, type the destination number, e.g., 3 for Studio 3. Each
numeric button will flash gold as you press it.
4 Scroll the wheel forwards or backwards until the desired destination is found. In
this example, any of VTR 3, Edit 3, Mon 3A or Mon 3B could be displayed on the
LCD. If you make a mistake, press the white CLEAR button and select another
destination number.
5 Press the SRC button. The source field will be highlighted blue on the LCD.
6 Using the numeric pushbuttons, type the source number, e.g., 3 for Studio 3. Each
numeric button will flash white as you press it.
7 Scroll the wheel forwards or backwards until the desired source is found. In this
example, any of VTR 3, Edit 3, Cam 3A or Cam 3B could be displayed on the
LCD. If you make a mistake, press the white CLEAR button and select another
source number.
8 The TAKE button will flash red, awaiting your confirmation of the route change. Press
TAKE and the route will change immediately. Otherwise, press CLEAR and no route
change will take place. Videohub Master Control will then return to its idle state with the
latest route displayed on the LCD.
In this example, the numeric button “3” has been selected so only video sources with a
“3” in their label will be listed, on the LCD, when the scroll wheel is rotated. This provides
a fast way to find a video source because you only have to scroll through a short list of
equipment based upon a group number, e.g. only list the equipment in Studio 3.
