Touchscreen Computers
Pushbutton View is designed to be easy to use and look beautiful on a large, touchscreen
display. Dedicating a touchscreen computer to the Pushbutton View within the Videohub
Control software makes it incredibly easy for users to switch connections between multiple SDI
devices without having to see every connected device all of the time.
Using a touchscreen computer provides the fastest way to switch connections which is perfect
for a master control room. Both desktop and laptop touchscreen computers can be used.
While touchscreens are perfect for rapidly selecting and routing inputs and outputs, they can
be cumbersome for configuring pushbuttons. The width of a human fingertip is much wider than
a mouse pointer and is less accurate when tapping on menu options and small icons.
For this reason, we recommend configuring the pushbuttons with a mouse. Once the Videohub
pushbuttons have been configured, it will be easy to use a finger to select and route, inputs and
outputs, by tapping on Videohub pushbuttons.
Touchscreens work a little differently to a computer mouse but provide the fastest and easiest
way to work with the Videohub Control interface and so are highly recommended. When using
a touchscreen computer, you can enable the Use Take option to help avoid unintentional
routing changes.
