Using Videohub Master Control Pro
The front panel controls on Videohub Master Control Pro lets you quickly select sources and
destinations using the spin knob as well as the customizable and numbered pushbuttons.
Selecting Sources and Destinations
Videohub Master Control Pro provides several ways to select and switch your destinations
and sources quickly, depending upon whether you have customized the port labels on your
Videohub router, want to enter the port labels directly, or have set your Master Control Pro
as an NMOS controller.
Videohub Master Control Pro works in the same conceptual way as any other router control.
To route a source to a destination:
1
Press the destination button marked 'DEST' to display a destination on the LCD.
Use the pushbuttons or the spin knob to select the desired destination.
2
Press the source button marked 'SRC' and use the pushbuttons or spin knob to change
the source.
3
Press 'take' to confirm the route change.

Selecting Routes by Typing the Videohub Port Numbers
If you've chosen to keep the default labels for all Videohub SDI and remote ports, you can
simply type the port numbers to make a routing change. This method is fast but requires
that you remember port numbers or have devised a system for knowing what equipment is
connected to each Videohub port.
1
Press the destination button marked 'DEST'. The destination field will be highlighted blue
on the LCD.
2
If your Videohub router has RS-422 remote control, press the 'level' button until you have
set the appropriate routing level for your equipment. Otherwise you can skip this step.
3
Type in the destination port number using the numeric pushbuttons. Each button will flash
gold once as you press it. The destination will be displayed on the LCD. If you make a
mistake, press the white 'clear' button and retype the port number.
4
Press the source button marked 'SRC'. The source field will be highlighted blue on the LCD.
5
Type in the source port number using the numeric pushbuttons. Each button will flash white
once as you press it. The source will be displayed on the LCD. If you make a mistake, press
the white 'clear' button and retype the port number.
6
The 'take' button will flash red, awaiting your confirmation of the route change. Press
'take' and the route will change immediately. Otherwise, press 'clear' and no route change
will take place. Videohub Master Control Pro returns to its idle state with the latest route
displayed on the LCD.
