Blackmagic Design releases Videohub router software update 4.0

29 June 2009

San Jose, USA - Blackmagic Design's new Videohub 4.0 software update for Videohub routers has revolutionised router control by using low cost, all-in-one computers with touch screens as router control panels.
Videohub 4.0 adds support for a revolutionary 'button view' control screen that is designed to be easy-to-use on touch screen computers. Users can choose from a number of icons of popular video equipment and the button layout is fully customisable. Videohub 4.0 software is available for both Windows and Mac OS X.
Three Button View control panel windows can be selected in Videohub 4.0. Two are for dedicated full screen use when customers dedicate a computer as a router control panel. The third is a smaller 8 source x 4 destination size, for a fast to use control panel window on the desktop.
Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design is enthusiastic about the update as it ramps up the control software in Videohub routers. "We have been working on this issue for a long time, and finally we have provided software that's just as good as the Videohub routers themselves, and we now have the world's best looking router software that's just so fun and easy to use. It's really fantastic, and I cannot wait to see customers' reactions!"

Videohub 4.0 software also retains the previous pop-up control windows for users who want to keep using the router as before. Videohub 4.0 is available as a free download for all Videohub router customers from the Blackmagic Design web site at www.blackmagic-design.com/support/
