Crosspoint Card; Router Control Cable; Power Supply - Blackmagicdesign Videohub Installation And Operation Manual

Occasionally, the internal software of the Universal Videohub 72 will need to be updated.
Videohub Setup will prompt you if an update is required. The utility uses the USB 2.0
connection and you will need to provide a USB 2.0 type A to mini B male cable.
Universal Videohub 72 ships as an empty rack frame, except for a removable fan tray and fans.
All other hardware components, including SDI interface cards, deck control cables, crosspoint
card and power supplies must be purchased and installed separately. SDI interface cards can
be purchased as your facility grows and don't need to be installed all at once. This section is
designed to help you decide which components you will need before you build your Universal
Videohub 72.
Pages 35-35 provide information on the different interface cards available for your
Universal Videohub.
Universal Videohub 72 Crosspoint Card
This module contains the crosspoint processor for switching video routes and changing deck
control ports. Ethernet, USB and serial ports are located on the card for router control.
A Reference input is located on the card for connection to a tri-level sync or black burst
genlock signal.
An Alarm light will illuminate on the card if user intervention is required, e.g., if inadequate
cooling has caused Videohub to overheat. Alarm notification is supplied by the GPI (General
Purpose Interface) output to other devices.
A Power Overload light will illuminate on the card if inadequate power is being supplied to the
unit for the number of cards installed.

Router Control Cable

Remote router control is performed via 10/100Base-T Ethernet or serial. If router control is
performed via Ethernet, the integrated Videohub Server is used. This means you only need to
provide an Ethernet cable to connect Universal Videohub 72 to your Ethernet network switch.
Third party router controllers can control Universal Videohub 72 via Ethernet, or as an RS-422
slave device, for router crosspoint switching. Please refer to the Developer Information section
of this manual for Videohub and RS-422 protocols.

Power Supply

The Universal Videohub 450W Power Card provides connections for up to three 150W brick-
style power supplies, which must be purchased separately.
When fully populated and running at maximum power consumption, Universal Videohub 72 can
be powered by two 150W brick power supplies. A third power supply can be connected to
ensure continued operation should one power supply fail. The 150W power supplies are
universal power supplies for use in all countries. You will need to provide a standard IEC cord
