Welcome

Thank you for purchasing Videohub!

We hope you share our dream for the television industry to become truly creative by

allowing anyone to have access to the highest quality video.

Previously, high end television and post production required investing in millions of dollars

of hardware, and professional SDI routers have always been way too costly for most people

to afford. HD-SDI is even more expensive and, until now, only the largest post production

and television facilities could afford HD-SDI routing. Videohub changes all that! Some

Videohub models not only give you HD-SDI, but also the latest Ultra HD format, enabling

you to pipe 4K 60p video around your studio using 12G SDI.

This instruction manual contains all the information you’ll need to install your Videohub,

although it’s always a good idea to ask a technical assistant for help if you are not sure

what IP addresses are, or if you don’t know much about computer networks. Videohub is

easy to install, however there are a few slightly technical preferences you will need to set

after you install it.

Please check our web site at www.blackmagicdesign.com and click the support page to

download the latest updates to this manual and Videohub software. Lastly, please register

your Videohub when downloading software updates so we can keep you updated when

new software is released. We are constantly working on new features and improvements,

so we would love to hear from you!

We hope you get years of use from your Videohub and have lots of fun connecting

everyone in your facility together!

Getting Started

Blackmagic Videohub Control

Using Blackmagic Videohub Control provides a fast and intuitive way to view and switch

between multiple sources and destinations. Videohub Control is easy to use because it

operates on a single video output at a time. Selecting a destination (output) pushbutton shows

which source (input) is connected to it by illuminating the source pushbutton. To change the

source, simply click on a different source pushbutton. It’s that easy!

Videohub Control provides an intuitive, icon-driven representation of the Videohub connections

and use the Scroll Bars to scroll the areas.

Getting to Know the Interface

Launch Videohub Control and click on the ‘select a videohub’ button and then select the

Videohub you wish to control

If the input, output and remote connections have not yet been labeled in Blackmagic Videohub

Setup, then the source pushbuttons will appear as ‘input’, followed by their respective numbers.

Likewise, the destination pushbuttons will appear as ‘output’, followed by their respective

numbers. These inputs and outputs correspond to the connector numbers on the Videohub.

Switching Views

You can switch between pushbutton view and list view by clicking the icons in the bottom

right corner.

7Getting Started

Using the Dynamic Search

Both the sources and destinations areas contain a search icon, which allows you to search for

text dynamically. This is useful if you have many pushbuttons and quickly want to locate a

pushbutton with a specific name. Begin by typing the name you wish to search for. As you type

each letter, the pushbuttons that are displayed will be dynamically filtered.

Menu and Buttons Explained

This section describes the various buttons and menu items in Videohub Control.

Settings Menu

Select Videohub Select from a list of Videohubs that are currently connected to

your network.

Save Layout Save customized pushbutton layouts for the different

environments in which you use your Videohub.

Load Layout Load previously saved pushbutton layouts.

Edit Buttons Displays the Edit Buttons for editing the pushbuttons.

Reset All

Displays all of the inputs and outputs of the connected Videohub

and replaces customized icons with the default icon. Source,

destination and deck control settings are maintained.

Edit Buttons

Add Add a source or destination pushbutton.

Edit Allows you to set the SDI source or destination, deck control and

the icon for the selected pushbutton.

Lock and Unlock

Lock a destination to avoid accidentally changing the video

source which is routed to that destination. If you click on a

pushbutton that’s locked, the Lock button changes into an Unlock

button. Simply click the Unlock button to unlock the destination

pushbutton.

Clear Deletes source, destination and deck control settings as well as

theicon for the selected pushbutton.

Remove Removes the selected pushbutton.

Done Click the Done button to exit the edit mode.

8Getting Started

Click Edit Buttons to display the above buttons.

Using Pushbuttons

Adding

Pushbuttons

Select the Settings button and then select “Edit Buttons”. Click on the

Add button and choose whether to add a source or destination pushbutton.

The Set Button window appears and allows you to set the SDI source or

destination, RS-422 deck control and the icon for the pushbutton. In most

cases, deck control is grouped with the associated SDI connections, e.g.,

SDI Input 1 would be associated with the corresponding Remote 1.

Editing

Pushbuttons

Select “Edit Buttons” and click the pushbutton you wish to edit. Click on the

Edit button and modify the source or destination, deck control settings and

theicon as required.

Set Button The Set Button window allows icon selection, source or destination selection

and deck control configuration.

Moving

Pushbuttons

Select the Settings button and then select “Edit Buttons”. Click and drag the

pushbutton to a new position.

9Getting Started

Viewing and Switching Routes

Viewing Routes In order to see which video source has been routed to a video destination,

suchas a monitor, press the button in the destinations panel to make the button

illuminate. The associated video source button will illuminate in the sources

panel, making it immediately obvious which source is connected to the monitor.

Reveal Source If you select a destination but the source is currently positioned offscreen,

clicking the Reveal Source button will scroll the Sources area to display the

source pushbutton.

Switching Routes Select the destination icon followed by the source icon.

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.

This destination is unlocked and is available to

any Videohubuser on the network. The associated

videosource is illuminated in the Sources panel and

thesource name “DaVinci” is displayed.

Locking and Unlocking Routes

Locking a destination will avoid accidentally changing the video source which is routed to that

destination. To lock a route, select the destination pushbutton and double click. Apadlock icon

will appear in the top-right corner of the destination pushbutton and will prevent anyone else

from using the destination device until it is unlocked from your computer. Locking a destination

still leaves the associated video source available for routing to multiple destinations

simultaneously.

Double click the pushbutton to unlock the destination.

You can also lock one or multiple destinations via the edit buttons page. Shift click the

destination pushbuttons you wish to lock and click the lock button. If you select a mixture of

locked and unlocked pushbuttons, you will have the option to lock the unlocked pushbuttons.

Locking a route between an input and an output also locks the RS-422 deck control connection

between the two devices to avoid other users accidentally seizing the deck control belonging

to the video source. The RS-422 connection between the video source and video destination

will remain locked until the destination pushbutton is unlocked.

10Getting Started

TIP To toggle the lock status of a destination, simply double click the

destination pushbutton.

A black padlock icon with a curved line above will appear on any destination pushbuttons

locked by other Videohub devices. The video destination devices will not be available to you

until the destination pushbuttons have been unlocked from the other users’ computers

and iPads.

If you need to unlock a route set by another user, launch Videohub Setup, select the Outputs

tab and click the destination’s lock icon.

NOTE It is important to note which routing level is selected, as it will affect the locking

of routes. Universal video hub 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.
