Videohub Smart Control connected via Ethernet networking
Connection method 2. Connecting to a USB-attached Videohub via a network switch.
You might wish to connect your Videohub Smart Control directly to an Ethernet-equipped Videohub if:
• you need to set up very fast
• you don't have any requirement to share Videohub on the network so it can be controlled by computers
on the network
• you don't have much space, such as in an OB van
• you have a limited power budget, such as in an OB van
A regular Ethernet cable can be used between Videohub Smart Control and the Videohub. There here is no
need to use a special crossover cable. See "Connection method 3".
