Cablecast controls Blackmagic Videohub routers using an IP connection.

In order to use a Blackmagic Videohub with Cablecast, you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Download and install the Blackmagic Videohub software from their website
2. Connect the Videohub to the computer using a USB cable
3. Use the Blackmagic Videohub software to configure the IP settings of the router
4. Once the router is configured for a static IP address, enter that address in the Port/IP/Local Path field in Location Settings : I/O : Control Module Sets
5. Use the 'Autopilot : Force Matrix to test the router

Once configuration is complete, the USB cable can be disconnected.
