Chapter 2 - Installation and Setup
This chapter covers the setup of the mediaHUB Server and
installation of the mediaControl Application.
Setting up the mediaHUB Server
The mediaHUB server should be installed into a one-rack unit 19”
rack slot. Power should be applied to the unit and configured with a
valid IP address via the front panel. Powering on and off the mediaHUB
server is simply done by plugging or unplugging the unit. There is no
on/off switch or button.
To set the IP address:
- Press the “Mode” button
- Enter the IP address of the Server using the “Select” and arrow buttons.
* Make sure that the mediaHUB server is on the same network as the
control application computer.
- Press “Enter”
- Power down unit
With the power disconnected, connect the appropriate cables
for your setup. Refer to the diagrams on the previous pages for port
information. Once your cables are connected, apply power to the unit.
Confirm that the IP address is correct on your unit and that the Link
LED on the front of the unit is lit before launching the mediaControl
application.
Note: Multiple input sources may be connected at the same time. For
example, you can connect a VTR via the RS422 at the same time that
you have a live feed source connected via FireWire.
