Flexible Router Control
If you've ever wanted total flexibility in controlling router connections, then nothing beats using software control panels. Each router destination output has a menu with all the source inputs listed. Simply select which source you want to connect to a destination, and the connection is made.
Serial ports are similar, however because they are bidirectional, connected ports dim until disconnected. Communication direction can be changed on any control port allowing editing systems or decks to be connected. You can also change the down converter and frame store settings on any shared computer, with each destination being locked simply by clicking the little padlock icon.
Multiple Router Views
Router control software features three separate control windows so you'll have amazing flexibility on how you use Workgroup Videohub. Use the main router control window to see every connection on the router. If you're only using a few of the router outputs, then you can use the personal router window that lets you limit your view to the few connections you really need to use. This means you get a much smaller interface window that won’t get in the way of other software, such as editing or design tools.
Upload Graphics into Frame Store
Workgroup Videohub features a multi resolution frame store that's ideal for all kinds of broadcast graphics, test signals, or logos. All graphics can be loaded into a folder on the host computer and they will then appear as a selectable video frame for all users on the network. Simply select one of the graphics and it will download into the router via fast USB 2.0 and then output from the frame store. You can then see the graphic on any output connected to the frame store, and if your graphic has an alpha channel it will key over any video source connected to the frame store input.
Network Sharing
All communication between router software and the router is via your IP network, such as ethernet and even wireless. Workgroup Videohub connects to any host computer via USB, and is then shared over the network from that computer. You don’t even need to run the Videohub software on the host computer as the network sharing is done at the driver level. Any computer can be the host simply by plugging in the USB from the router. This keeps sharing simple and eliminates the need for a dedicated host computer.
With video routing this simple, it’s time to get connected with Workgroup Videohub and allow everyone to share decks and other resources in your facility.
