How to select devices using the numeric buttons and scroll wheel
If you have customized the Videohub port labels with numbers, you can use the numeric
buttons and scroll wheel together to find a short list of sources and destinations. This method is
fast and intuitive because you only have to scroll through a short list of equipment and you
don't have to remember any port numbers. This method is very helpful if you label groups of
equipment together by numbers, perhaps to represent locations. For example, all the
equipment in Studio 3 could be labeled VTR3,
Edit 3, Cam 3A, Cam 3B, Mon 3A and Mon 3B etc.
1 Press the DEST button. The destination field will be highlighted blue on the LCD.
2 If your Videohub router has RS-422 remote control, press the LEVEL button until you
have set the appropriate routing level for your equipment. Otherwise you can skip
this step.
3 Using the numeric pushbuttons, type the destination number, e.g., 3 for Studio 3. Each
numeric button will flash gold as you press it.
4 Scroll the wheel forwards or backwards until the desired destination is found. In this
example, any of VTR 3, Edit 3, Mon 3A or Mon 3B could be displayed on the LCD.
If you make a mistake, press the white CLEAR button and scroll until the correct
destination is displayed.
5 Press the SRC button. The source field will be highlighted blue on the LCD.
6 Using the numeric pushbuttons, type the source number, e.g., 3 for Studio 3. Each
numeric button will flash white as you press it.
7 Scroll the wheel forwards or backwards until the desired source is found. In this
example, any of VTR 3, Edit 3, Cam 3A or Cam 3B could be displayed on the LCD. If you
make a mistake, press the white CLEAR button and scroll until the correct destination is
displayed.
8 The TAKE button will flash red, awaiting your confirmation of the route change. Press
TAKE and the route will change immediately. Otherwise, press CLEAR and no route
change will take place. Videohub Master Control will then return to its idle state with the
latest route displayed on the LCD.
In this example, the numeric button "3" has been selected so only video
sources with a "3" in their label will be listed, on the LCD, when the scroll
wheel is rotated. This provides a fast way to find a video source because
you only have to scroll through a short list of equipment based upon a group
number, e.g. only list the equipment in Studio 3.
How to select devices using the customizable and numeric buttons together
If you have customized the Videohub port labels with names and numbers, you can use the
customizable buttons and numeric buttons together to directly select sources and destinations.
This method is very fast and intuitive because you don't have to scroll through a list of
equipment and you only have to remember how many of each type of equipment you have,
e.g., two VTRs and four monitors.
