Switching Routes with Smart Videohub

Switching routes with your Blackmagic Smart Videohub can be done easily using the integrated
front panel.
1 Select your destination by pressing the 'dest' button and pressing a numbered
pushbutton. Alternatively, you can use the rotary knob to scroll alphabetically through
the destination labels. The corresponding numbered button will light to indicate the
port number.
2 Select the source by pressing the 'src' button and pressing a numbered pushbutton.
Alternatively, you can scroll through the source labels.
3 When you have selected a destination and source, the 'take' button will flash red until
you have pressed it to confirm your route. The 'clear' button will also flash, indicating
that you can cancel your route change by pressing the 'clear' button.
Selecting the Cut Bus Feature
Smart Videohub models provide two different routing modes for switching sources to
destinations. By default, your Smart Videohub model is set to use the 'take' button when
switching routes. Using this mode, you simply press the 'take' button to confirm a selected
source for a chosen destination.
If you want a faster way to switch routes, you can use the cut bus mode. In cut bus mode, simply
select your destination, then press the numbered source pushbuttons or turn the rotary knob to
instantly switch routes. This feature is very effective if you need to use Smart Videohub
CleanSwitch 12x12 as a standby switcher in a live switching environment.
