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. In this example, press 'DEST' and then type the port number 88. Then press
the 'source' button and type the port number 52. Press 'take' to confirm the route change.
Selecting Routes using the Spin Knob
Regardless of whether or not you've customized the Videohub port labels, you can always use
the spin knob to browse through a list of sources and destinations. This is the slowest method
but is useful if you want to see the list of all available equipment and ports. If you have set your
Master Control Pro as an NMOS controller, you can use this method to browse available 2110 IP
video equipment.
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
Turn the spin knob clockwise or counterclockwise until the desired destination is found.
The destination will be displayed on the LCD.
4
Press the source button marked 'SRC' so it illuminates white. The source field will be
highlighted blue on the LCD.
5
Turn the spin knob until the desired source is found. The source will be displayed
on the LCD.
6
The 'take' button will flash red, awaiting your confirmation of the route change. Press
'take' and the route will change immediately, or 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.
In this example, the spin knob is being used to list all sources that can be routed to the destination VTR 1 based
upon the SDI routing level. When the spin knob is rotated, the names of source equipment are progressively
displayed to make it very easy to find the desired video source.
Selecting Routes using Customizable Buttons and the Spin Knob
If you have customized the Videohub port labels or set your Videohub Master Control Pro as
an NMOS controller, you can use the customizable buttons and spin knob together to find a
short list of sources and destinations. This method is fast and intuitive because you only have
to scroll through a short list of equipment and you don't have to remember any port numbers.
This method is very helpful if you label types of equipment together by name, e.g., VTR,
Cam and Mon.
