Description
Control your Videohub broadcast SDI routers from your iPad!
Videohub Control uses a familiar push button interface that's fast and easy to use. Simply tap a destination button to show the connected source, and then change sources by pushing any of the source buttons! If you want to lock a destination, then double tap! For more destination and source buttons, just swipe!
Installation is simple, and all you need to do is select Videohub in your iPad settings to enter the IP address for your Videohub router. Be sure your iPad is on a wireless network that has access to your Videohub router first! To configure each interface button, just press and hold to select source numbers and icons.
Check the Videohub router instruction manual on the Blackmagic Design web site for more information. www.blackmagicdesign.com.

Ratings and Reviews
Still no support for 20x20
I was excited to see an update for iOS11, however the app still doesn’t fully support the 20x20 VideoHub rendering it useless for me.
The app will communicate with my 20x20 but won’t allow me to access more than 8 of my 20 outputs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thankfully the MacOS app seems to to,work, but getting the iOS app working as intended would be a huge timesaver for me.
Only 8 Outputs Available :-(
Functionally this is a great app, but the bottom row where the Outputs are, only has 8 slots. You can swipe to get another 8, but the buttons are blank. Using this with a 40x40 Videohub is a bummer because you can only access 8 of the 40 outputs!
It's pretty great functionality for the first 8 outputs. Easy navigation and settings. Being able to walk around on set with an iPad and route signal is fantastic. But you can really only use it for 20% of the Videohub's capability.
If I could access all 40 outputs, I'd give this a 5 star, 100% rating, but math is forcing me to give it a rating more appropriate to what it delivers.
Almost there...
The app works great and does what it is supposed to. However, it isn't as customizable as the desktop software, in that you cannot remove buttons you don't need. Also, the resolution isn't optimized for iPad Retina display, so edges and text are a bit fuzzy. Fix those two things and I would love it. Pretty please?
