Blackmagic Videohub Master Control Pro

The Videohub Master Control Pro provides flexible control with two basic methods for switching between crosspoints on video hub routers. The easiest way for users to use the Videohub Master Control Pro is to first select a destination or source and then scroll through all crosspoints on the router. The latter is done using the knob located on the right side of the unit. When the user scrolls through crosspoints, they are displayed on the integrated LC display with large, easy-to-read identifiers. The identifiers based on the crosspoints are arranged alphabetically. Accordingly, users can also easily reach a desired crosspoint on large crossbars.

In addition, the Videohub Master Control Pro enables direct input of crosspoint identifiers via integrated keys. These are partly customizable and partly numeric keys. Users can easily assign their own identifiers to the customizable keys, such as Monitor, Deck, Edit, etc. The crossbar crosspoints are entered by pressing the specially defined keys, followed by a numeric key. Assuming a user wants to output "Monitor 3" to the target device, all he has to do is press the individualized "Monitor" key and then the corresponding number key "3". With the Master Control Pro video hub, users have unrestricted access to very large routers and can work quickly.
