Apr 11, 2012 5:26 PM
Blackmagic Design Videohub 4.9 is a new software update that adds macro support as well as advanced network-based configuration of control panels for its range of Videohub SDI routers and Smart Control panels. Videohubs range from 16×16 SDI up to the 288×288 Universal Videohub that lets customers mix SDI and optical fiber interfaces in a modular rack-based design. Videohub and Universal Videohub routers can be fully controlled using networkable Videohub Control Panel software and Videohub Smart Control, a 1RU hardware control panel consisting of 40 programmable buttons with full RGB illumination. The macros allow users to activate multiple simultaneous switching commands with a single button press. New Smart Control configuration software lets users define up to 10 macros each with their own source and destination routing commands that can then be activated by one button. Also included is the new Smart Control software utility, which provides advanced Ethernet configuration options all from a single central software utility for Windows and Mac OS X. This new control utility includes an identify function that lets users visibly select the Smart Control panel they want to configure. The software update also adds support for destination locking from a Smart Control panel as well as from the Videohub software. Price: Free
