User's Manual

NOTE It is important to note which routing level is selected, as it will affect the locking
of routes. Universal Videohub consists of an SDI video level and an RS-422 deck
control level. These levels can be switched together or can be separated for
individual switching.
If you have selected SDI 422 on the level controls, it will lock both ports, however, if
you select SDI or RS422 it will only lock the selected port. When the RS-422 port is
locked you can still switch to SDI video, and when the SDI port is locked you can still
switch to RS-422. This means that you can still route video signals even if the
RS-422 port is locked, and still have deck control even if the SDI port is locked.
Locally locked destinations display a white padlock icon.
Remotely locked destinations display a black padlock icon.
Serial Control Settings
Third party router controllers can control Videohub with RS-422 serial connections.
If controlling Videohub via RS-422, set the “Leitch protocol” switch to:
ͽ “Leitch Client” if the Videohub is to act as a client of a connected control panel and to
listen and respond to the control panel button presses.
ͽ “Leitch Server” if the Videohub is to be controlled from an automation system or third
party router control system.
The Videohub Server Configuration options will become active when
an Ethernet-equipped Videohub is connected via USB.
