Network Settings
Each Videohub control panel requires an IP address to communicate with Videohub via your
IP network.
When configuring a Videohub control panel via USB, you can choose DHCP or Static IP. DHCP
automatically obtains all the network settings for your Videohub control panel and is the
easier choice.
If you decide to use a static IP address, please ask your system administrator for a spare
IP address to avoid creating a conflict on your network. You will then need to complete the
IP address, subnet mask and gateway details for your Videohub control panel. You must use a
static IP address if you are connecting directly to an Ethernet-equipped Videohub, such as
Smart Videohub 20x20, without using a network switch.
The Blackmagic Videohub Hardware Panel Setup automatically searches
your network for any Videohub control panels.
You will also need to complete the IP details for the remote Videohub that you wish to control
with your Videohub control panel. The remote Videohub is the Videohub Server. This could
refer to a Videohub Server computer or an integrated Videohub Server onboard a Videohub
model such as Smart Videohub 20x20.
Any Ethernet or USB connected control units will be listed in
the Videohub Control Panels pane with a corresponding icon.
