Connect To A Videohub Server With Usb - Blackmagicdesign Videohub Installation And Operation Manual

If you have a Universal Videohub 288 populated with two Crosspoint Cards, connect Ethernet
cables to both for network failover redundancy. Your Universal Videohub 288 will have a single
IP address, despite having two Ethernet connections to the network switch.
For Smart Videohub models with a built in control panel, you can use the rotary knob and
buttons to configure IP address and network settings, or use Blackmagic Videohub Setup. For
models without a front control panel, set your network settings using Blackmagic Videohub
Setup. Refer to the Blackmagic Videohub Setup section of this manual for more information.
Network settings adjustments using Blackmagic Videohub Setup can only be adjusted when
connected to your Videohub via USB.

Connect to a Videohub Server with USB

Non ethernet enabled Videohubs can connect to any computer on your local area IP based
network via USB. One "server" computer on your network connects to Videohub via the plug
and play USB connection, and shares the Videohub with other computers and iPads on your
network in a similar way to USB printer sharing. You don't need a dedicated or powerful
computer for this task.
The Videohub Server can be any computer running Mac OS X or Windows. Any number of Mac
OS X and Windows clients can connect to the server over the network.
To connect Videohub to the local area IP based network:
1 Securely connect and power on all of the power supplies included with your Videohub.
2 Connect the Videohub router to the Videohub Server computer with a standard USB
2.0 type A-B male cable.
3 Connect the Videohub Server computer to your network switch. We strongly
recommend connecting the Videohub Server computer with reliable Ethernet cables
in preference to wireless networking. Wireless networking may be affected by
interference from appliances and other wireless devices.
