Switching Routes
In order to change the video source from a tape deck to a video camera, press a
camera pushbutton in the sources panel. The camera pushbutton will illuminate,
indicating that it is now routed to the video monitor. The tape deck button will no longer
be illuminated and will be disconnected from the video monitor.
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.
Using a Videohub Hardware Panel
You can also control your IP Videohub router using a Videohub hardware control panel, such as
a Blackmagic Videohub Master Control or Smart Control. This lets you route all your sources
and destinations from one single rack mounted control panel.

Using an optional control panel like Videohub Master Control lets you route all your
IP Video sources and destinations from a rack mounted hardware control panel
All you need to do is tell the hardware panel the IP Videohub router you want it to control.
This is done by entering the IP Videohub's IP address in the panel's network settings via
Blackmagic Videohub Hardware Panel Setup.
To set the IP address in the panel's network settings:
1
Launch Blackmagic Videohub Hardware Panel Setup.
2
Make sure your hardware panel is connected to your computer via Ethernet and is
selected in the left column of the hardware panel's setup settings.
3
In the hardware panel network settings you will see a setting at the bottom of the list for
remote Videohub IP. Click in the edit window and enter your IP Videohub's IP address.
When your hardware panel connects with the IP Videohub, the indicator on right side of the
IP address setting will illuminate green.
Now you can route your IP Video sources and destinations using the Videohub hardware
control panel.
Set the remote Videohub IP setting in Blackmagic
Videohub Hardware Panel Setup so you can route your
IP video using a Videohub hardware control panel
