Installing a Universal Videohub 72 Crosspoint Card

A single Universal Videohub 72 Crosspoint card can be installed in the left crosspoint card slot of a Universal
Videohub 288. The Universal Videohub 72 Crosspoint card is limited to supporting 18 interface cards and
does not support crosspoint redundancy. This card should only be considered if attempting to minimize the
initial cost of purchasing a Universal Videohub 288. When using a Universal Videohub 72 Crosspoint card,
only the bottom row of 18 interface cards can be used. A Universal Videohub 288 Crosspoint card must be
used if you want to install more than 18 interface cards.
The short length of the Universal Videohub 72 Crosspoint card, compared with the Universal Videohub 288
Crosspoint card, requires the installation of an additional supporting bridge in the center of the Universal
Videohub 288. When upgrading to a Universal Videohub 288 Crosspoint card at a later time, the additional
supporting bridge must be removed.
The additional supporting bridge, short blanking plate and associated screws are available as a separate
package from your Videohub dealer. Torx T8, Torx T10, number 01 and number 02 size Pozidriv screwdrivers
are required to install the additional supporting bridge and the Universal Videohub 72 Crosspoint card.
Step 1. Ensure power is switched off and disconnected from Universal Videohub 288.
Step 2. Use a number 02 size Pozidriv screwdriver to remove the blanking plate from the right crosspoint
card slot.
Step 3. Use a number 02 size Pozidriv screwdriver to remove the blanking plates from the interface card
slots for SDI ports 73-216.
Step 4. Maneuver the supporting bridge through the crosspoint card slots and rest it flat on the
motherboard, with the card guides facing up, while taking great care to avoid damaging the
multi-pin connectors on the motherboard.
Step 5. Stand the supporting bridge so the holes in its left and right feet are positioned over the
corresponding mounting holes on the motherboard standoffs. The card guides should face the
lower supporting bridge at the bottom of the crosspoint slots.
Step 6. Secure the left and right feet of the supporting bridge with the number 02 size Pozidriv screws.
Step 7. Secure the left and right legs of the supporting bridge with the two Torx T10 screws as shown in
the accompanying illustration. These screws are installed horizontally.
