Click on the ‘Select Videohub’ button and then
select the Videohub you wish to control.
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.
Refer to the ‘controlling videohub with software’ section for more information on using
Videohub Control.
Resizing the Interface Click and drag the bottom right hand corner to proportionally resize
the interface to best fit your screen size. Alternatively, drag a window
edge to resize either vertically or horizontally.
Resizing the Sources and
Destinations Areas
Drag the divider bar up and down and use the scroll bars to scroll the
respective areas.
Switching Views You can switch between pushbutton view and list view by clicking
the icons in the bottom right corner.
Using the Dynamic Search Both the sources and destinations areas contain a search icon, which
allows you to search for text dynamically. This is useful if you have
many pushbuttons and quickly want to locate a pushbutton with
a specific name. Begin by typing the name you wish to search for.
As you type each letter, the pushbuttons that are displayed will be
dynamically filtered.
