  • Page 2: Stacking With A Control System

    Working with a Control System is easy. If you are using a Control System to control your MHUB S devices then you do not need a Zone Processor to act as a controller. Connect and stack your MHUBs as per the example wiring diagrams on page 7 and ensure that you follow the instructions detailed below.

    Glossary Please read! The terminology used with MHUB S and how it works is uniquely used by HDA. To avoid any confusion please take a moment to acquaint yourself with the following terms used throughout this guide. Foundation Layer The MHUB S system which is directly connected to a video source(s) is referred to as the Foundation Layer.

    This port mirrors any HDMI signal connected to the “Source (IN)” port directly below it. Connecting the “Mirror (OUT)” port to the “Source (IN)” port on another MHUB S (must be next in the Stack Layer) will make that video available on the new MHUB S device (see page 2.

  • Page 8: Controlling The Stack With A Ucontrol Zone Processor

    The Zone Processor (ZP) is a necessary component that is required to build a stacked system and must be present in your LAN along with your MHUB S devices. When uControl detects this arrangement in your network then the app will offer you the option to configure the collection of devices as a stacked system and will set the MHUBs into stacked mode.
  • Page 9 What does the Zone Processor do? The ZP replaces the MHUB as the primary user interface for the system. Source naming, Connections, IoT, switching, uControl pack installation and Sequences are now all done on the ZP rather than the individual MHUB devices.

  • Page 13 Zone R which is served from MHUB S (S3) is currently watching video content on Input 5 which originates from the Foundation Layer (S1) Input 5. With IR Cascading enabled and MHUB connected using the Source IR Stacking Cable it is possible to send the IR signal received in Zone R through S3, S2 and finally to the Foundation Layer (S1) where the IR is transmitted.
