All Videohub preferences are configured through the Videohub control software, regardless of whether
performed on a Videohub Server computer or on a client computer. The Videohub preferences
can be found under the Edit Menu in the Windows
™
software or under the Blackmagic Videohub menu in
Mac OS X

The preferences are split in to two sections, Videohub Server Preferences and Customize Labels. There is
also a Take Confirmation option for use with any Pushbutton view.
Videohub Server Computer Settings
The Videohub Server will need a static IP address so that the other Videohub clients on the network
can always find it. Please discuss this with your network administrator who will probably want to
configure this for you. Avoid using DHCP on the Videohub Server computer as this will potentially
cause the IP address of the server to change and the Videohub clients will lose communication
with it. DHCP can be used on any other computers and iPads on the network which are running the Videohub
software as a client.
When using a Videohub Server computer, you should make a note of its static IP address as you will need to
enter this address in to the Videohub Server Preferences on each of the client computers which are running
Videohub software.
On Mac OS X, go to
System Preferences> Network
and look at the IP address in the configuration
information for your Ethernet or Airport network. Ensure the network configuration is set to either
Using DHCP with manual address or Manually.
On Windows XP, go to
Start menu> Control Panel> Network Connections
. Right-click on your
LAN connection, which is usually Ethernet or Wireless Network Connection, and choose Properties.
Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button. Ensure Use the following IP address has
been chosen.
On Windows 7, go to
Start menu> Control Panel>Network and Sharing Center
. Next to your
connection, click Local Area Connection for Windows 7. Click on Properties. Select Internet Protocol Version
4 (TCP/IPv4). Click on Properties. Ensure Use the following IP address has been chosen.
The “Videohub Server” connection settings are used to specify the address of the Videohub Server.
This can be accessed through the “Connection Settings” window in Mac OS X and Windows. If you are
configuring these settings on a Videohub Server computer, enable the option to “Use Locally Connected
Videohub”. This will automatically enable the correct network settings, on the server computer, based on
the Network control panel.
