I totally agree with you.. But the development on the videohub products seem to have a standstill for a couple of years now.
Macro's in the hub is not possible in the current software.. And only the controllers can do a sequential write of commands which comes close to a macro..
I'm thinking of writing my own software for the videohub series to expand on this. As there also issues with the detection of the panels when connected to USB for the settings..
But BMD respond on this.. Suggestions will be put on the list. But might never be implemented..
