Use TAKE Confirmation before Switching Routes
You may wish to enable the “Use TAKE” button to help prevent unintentional changes
to video routes. Once enabled, any attempt to change a video route using a
pushbutton will cause a red “TAKE” button to appear. Select the button to confirm or
click the current source or destination pushbutton to cancel.
This destination is unlocked and is available to
any Videohub user on the network. The associated
video source is illuminated in the Sources panel
and the source name “DaVinci” is displayed.
Locking and Unlocking Routes
Locking a destination will avoid accidentally changing the video source which is routed to that
destination. To lock a route, select the destination pushbutton and double click. Apadlock icon
will appear in the top-right corner of the destination pushbutton and will prevent anyone else
from using the destination device until it is unlocked from your computer. Locking a destination
still leaves the associated video source available for routing to multiple destinations
simultaneously.
Double click the pushbutton to unlock the destination.
You can also lock one or multiple destinations via the edit buttons page. Shift click the
destination pushbuttons you wish to lock and click the lock button. If you select a mixture of
locked and unlocked pushbuttons, you will have the option to lock the unlocked pushbuttons.
Locking a route between an input and an output also locks the RS-422 deck control connection
between the two devices to avoid other users accidentally seizing the deck control belonging
to the video source. The RS-422 connection between the video source and video destination
will remain locked until the destination pushbutton is unlocked.
TIP To toggle the lock status of a destination, simply double click the
destination pushbutton.
A black padlock icon with a curved line above will appear on any destination pushbuttons
locked by other Videohub devices. The video destination devices will not be available to you
until the destination pushbuttons have been unlocked from the other users’ computers
and iPads.
If you need to unlock a route set by another user, launch Videohub Setup, select the Outputs
tab and click the destination’s lock icon.
