High end post production and broadcasters have understood the advantages of professional routing switchers for decades, and now with Videohub, everyone can afford these same workflow advantages.

Plus unlike manual patching, you can send one SDI video connection to as many outputs as you like, so multiple people can access any SDI video source, all at the same time. Unlike manual patching, Videohub re-clocks the SDI video signal for long cable lengths.

All video connections are changed from an easy to use software application right from your computer desktop. Videohub eliminates this problem because everyone is permanently connected, and no cables need to be physically changed ever.

Manual patching also caused problems with limited SDI cable lengths, and patch cables quickly wear out, so you get glitches as other users bump them while patching. However this can become too complicated for creative designers, graphic artists and editors to understand, plus it gets even more complicated as your studio grows. I would offer to have our graphics department submit some designs if you are interested and if you provide file specs.In the past most studios have been forced to use manual patching to connect editing workstations and decks. That seems like a minimal number to support a router with 576 ports. If that is a hard and fast position, then please provide us with a hundred or more icons that represent the variety sources that we actually use. I was told at NAB that would never happen because BMD feels people would make the interface ugly.

Like others, I would greatly prefer to be able to create our own icons. Video Projector (film projector icon is not a visually meaningful representation)


Routing switcher - (we route between multiple BMD routing switchers)īNC connector - PLEASE restore this - most useful for tie lines - we have lots of them! Useful to distinguish Master control from Production Switcher. NOTE: please keep the existing small switcher icon.Ī larger facility will have two or more switchers. Keyer (icon can be used with switcher or stand alone keying device, or to represent key signal) Production Switcher - support for a large multiple M/E switcher in addition to existing icon. Suite is a room with a monitor)Ĭable box (could be combined with the tuner)Ĭomputer - PC very useful to represent all kinds of functions NLE - (not the same as an edit suite) NLE is a device with I/O. The tape cassette icon is fine for those VTR's that remain. SSD based recorders (BMD Hyperdeck and others) Recorders/players-card based (SD, P2 etc.)ĭisc based players/recorders (DVD, Blu-Ray, XD-Cam Users under 50 don't recognize an image orthicon camera)įile based recorders (most of our users have never used tape) Studio Camera (something that looks vaguely like a camera that exists today, Here is my list of additions that would be useful. Router ports mainly connect to specific types of equipment or signal sources, not just to places (where there is often just a monitor),and there are not nearly enough equipment icons. Does not visually transfer to video projectorģ. Film projector icon is clear but is redundant with telecine. CCU icon looks more like a small production switcher old image of black & white film leader is not evocative of a modern HD monitor

Character Generator Icon does not make sense to me clapboard is nice and might be useful but how does that say edit suite? Of the others, several don't make visual sense, at least in our environment. That's not much help on a 288 port router.Ģ. They are only useful for one port, usually just one output. Of the 34 icons, half of them are places or people where there presumably would be a monitor if you actually have such a place. However, I struggled to find even 10 icons that were even slightly meaningful for our use.ġ. I love what has been done with the interface and the icon based interface can now be very useful with the large router, especially with a touch screen. I agree with Morten Stjernholm and would like to be more specific.
