19 19
You can manually add a Videohub control panel, by IP address, to
the list of Videohub Control Panels
You can adjust the brightness of all backlit buttons in Videohub
Master Control
Groups of equipment have been created by standardizing labels.
Add Videohub Control
If you already know the IP address of a Videohub control panel but it hasn't automatically appeared in the
Videohub Control Panels pane, you can add the unit manually.
Step 1. Press the + (add device) button at the bottom of the Videohub Control Panels pane.
Step 2. Type in the IP address of the Videohub Control Panel and press OK.
Step 3. The Videohub Control Panel will appear in the list with any other devices that are connected to
the Videohub.
If the Blackmagic Videohub Control Utility does not find a Videohub control panel at the specified address,
you can use the Utility to manually add a Videohub control panel when connected via Ethernet or USB.
Load/Save Settings
You can apply settings from an already configured Videohub control panel to other units. Once you have
set up your Videohub Control Panel's settings, choose File>Save Settings. This is useful if you want to set
up several units the same way, or keep a back up of your settings. After loading pre-configured settings on
another control panel, you only need to update network settings, including the control panel name.
Configuring Videohub Master Control
Videohub Control Utility software lets you customize the hardware features of each Videohub control panel.
Backlight
Adjust the backlight slider as desired to vary the brightness of all backlit buttons.
Creating Button Labels
15 of the buttons can be labeled within the control utility to provide fast selection of common equipment
types such as cameras, VTRs and monitors. If you haven't done so already, you should standardize the port
labels on your Videohub router before labeling any buttons on your Videohub control unit. To do this:
Step 1. Launch the Blackmagic Videohub software and choose Customize Labels.
Step 2. You can now enter names into the port labels to help identify groups of equipment. Deck 1, Deck
2, Camera 1, Camera 2 etc. Alternatively you might want to list equipment by location. All the
equipment in Studio 3 could be named VTR 3, Cam 3A, Cam 3B, Mon 3A and Mon 3B etc. If you
have an RS-422 deck control connection to any of these decks, make sure the label for the RS-422
remote port is the same as the corresponding label for the deck's input and/or output.
Step 3. Once you have finished standardizing port labels, click OK.
