Two routers on one PC

PostFri May 03, 2013 2:13 am

We have a Compact Videohub and a Studio Videohub. Is it possible to run both on one PC?

Thanks

Yes, it is possible to run several, including of the same type. Just make sure you name them well to know which one is which

Okay then....
When I install the Compact Videohub software all is good. When I install the Stuido Videohub software it tells me it is allready installed! I am also talking about the main computer that is USB to the PC from each of the two hubs.

It's the same software. So don't need 2 installations. Not 100% sure about having both conencted via USB. Will work via a network switch

Hi Jaden,

You only need to install the software once. The Studio Videohub is connected via USB and the Compact Videohub must be connected vis ethernet with a static IP which matches the network settings of the computer.
In the Videohub Server Preferences you select "Use locally connected Videohub" when you want to control the Studio Videohub. Uncheck this box and type in the IP address of the Compact when connecting to it.

The Main Router View will use the labels assigned to the connected Videohub. When using the pushbutton views the display will have the same layout for both Videohubs but the labels will be from the unit connected.

I hope this helps.
