Configuring Videohub Smart Control Pro
Videohub Hardware Panel Setup lets you customize the hardware features of each Videohub
control panel.
Number of Destinations
Videohub Smart Control can be configured as a Cut-Bus controller or as an XY controller. When
configured as a Cut-Bus controller, every button represents an SDI source and there is only one
destination.
When configured as an XY controller, Videohub Smart Control Pro can work with up to
24 destinations. The source buttons will illuminate white and the destination buttons will
illuminate gold. Use this configuration if you don’t intend to dedicate a Videohub Smart Control
Pro unit to each destination device.

Cut-Bus Configuration
1 Drag the Number of Destinations slider to 1.
2 Click on the Destination button. In the Router SDI Out A field, enter the number of the
Videohub output port to which the destination device is connected. If your destination
device requires dual link SDI, you will need to enter an output port number in the
Router SDI Out A & B fields. For quad link SDI, you will need to enter numbers in all four
‘out’ fields. There is a Router Remote field if your Videohub is also routing RS-422 deck
control to the destination device.
3 Click OK to confirm. All the buttons will become white, indicating that they are
all sources.
4 Click on each white button in the software interface to configure the source buttons.
5 In the Router SDI In A field, enter the number of the Videohub input port to which
the source device is connected. For dual link SDI destinations you will need to enter
port numbers for fields A and B, or fields A through D for quad link SDI. There is a
Router Remote field if your Videohub is also routing RS-422 deck control from the
source device.
6 Click OK to confirm.
