Glossary
Please read!
The terminology used with MHUB S and how it works is uniquely used by HDA. To avoid any confusion
please take a moment to acquaint yourself with the following terms used throughout this guide.
Foundation Layer
The MHUB S system which is directly connected to a video source(s) is referred to as the
Foundation Layer. Ideally, this system should be physically installed at the bottom of your MHUB S
stack. Inside uOS this system is referred to as S1.
Connections
A Connection is used to define a cabled connection between various MHUB systems. Depending
on the combination of HDA devices in your stack will determine what ports can be paired or not.
Stack Layer
The Stack Layer is an alphanumeric identifier within uOS starting from the Foundation Layer (Layer
S1) which represents the order of MHUB systems that are connected to one another by a
Connection. For example, if you had four MHUB S systems stacked together then you would start
with the Foundation Layer (Layer S1), then the second MHUB S (Layer S2), followed by the third
MHUB S (Layer S3) and finally the fourth MHUB S (Layer S4).
IR Cascade
MHUB S supports infrared (IR) passback from a display receiver connected to one MHUB system to
be passed to another MHUB through a process called IR Cascading. IR Cascading works from the
top of your stack and goes down the MHUB Stack Layers until it reaches the Foundation Layer or is
instructed to stop within uOS.
Master / Controller
A hardware device (like a Zone Processor) designed to control other MHUB or MZA systems when
they are operating in stack mode. It is not possible to create a stack without a Master / Controller
present in your setup. Should be called M1.
uControl
uControl is our app for control and configuration of stacked systems. If you are using MHUB S with
a control system then you do not need to use uControl other than the first booting system so that it
is properly initialised.
