Unfortunately there is no macro support on the smart video hub. It's definitely not as flexible as the smart control and Micro hub and it is 5 dollars more expensive.
It's strength lies in its need for zero setup. You never have to plug in an ethernet, or usb. Connect it to power and it's ready to roll. Perfect for fly cases and setups where you need 1 to 1 connectivity.
But the Microhub/Smart control has more flexibility. Smart control needs significantly more configuration. You can direct connect it to the hub, but it's gotta be connected to connected to a computer for programming before it's useful. it also needs to be powered separately. So you've gotta be rocking power over ethernet (which means a hub/switch/router that supports it), or you've got to rock a second power supply.
