VHC controls Blackmagic Design Videohub routers on the local network. Save the hubs you use. Each row shows whether the matrix is online and where one output is routed right now. Edit the hub to follow a different output. Open a hub to route: pick the destination, pick the source, and send it. Lock an output so it cannot be changed. On models that support them, save and recall presets. The app remembers a hub by its Unique ID, so a DHCP address change updates the saved row instead of adding a duplicate. If the router is not on port 9990, put the port in the address. On iPad, the list and the routing screen sit side by side. Settings can send a diagnostics log when a router does not behave as expected.
