It won’t discover/connect to Videohub devices on local networks. Please update! ### 1/5 — Not updated in many years *2024-10-03* This app is out of date by many years and not useable. ### 2/5 — Only 8 Outputs Available :-( *2023-05-26* 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. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work with 20x20 *2020-06-26* If you have the 20x20 Videohub, this app will not work for you. I have had no luck with any of my 20x20 video hub routers and using this app ### 1/5 — Does not work with iOS 12 or 13 *2019-08-09* Come on, guys. It should not be up to the customer to develop a control app and keep it up to date. So far the videoHub is not proving to function as expected, especially when it comes to the controls. This app loads a bunch of blank tiles with no settings or setup options to get connected to a videoHub. ### 1/5 — Update this embarrassing app *2019-07-09* The fact that I can spend so much money on a current hardware only to have the iOS software be years behind is so embarrassing for black magic. Black magic even advertises this as a feature of the smart Videohub on their website, yet it doesn’t even work with the current hardware. Should have bought AJA! BMD you better respond to me and work towards a fix, or lose countless thousands of dollars in future sales to me. ### 1/5 — Smart Videohub Not Fully Functional *2018-04-14* I can only see the first 8 outputs in my 20x20. Lots of inputs and outouts are displayed that don’t seem to be relevant. ### 4/5 — No Support - Revised *2018-02-07* Update: Blackmagic updated the app to support the new iOS. We are now able to get all of our pads updated and still running smooth. -- -- -- -- App hasn't been updated since 2011. IOS 11 won't run 32-bit apps, and Blackmagic says they don't have plans to update. We use iPads all over our facility to interface our Videohub router. Now we won't be able to update the iPads moving forward to patch security vulnerabilities. ### 3/5 — Still no support for 20x20 *2018-01-20* 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. ### 4/5 — THANK YOU FOR UPDATING!! *2018-01-09* The only thing I would recommend is a way to share or sync layout configurations ## Frequently asked questions about Blackmagic Videohub ### How do I connect Blackmagic Videohub to my iPad?
