Labelling Control Panels
Videohub Smart Control and Smart Videohub have removable face plates which provide access to the
buttons for labelling.
Included with the software installer is a Smart Labels folder containing both PDF and Adobe Illustrator
template files. You can print and use either of these files for labelling the buttons. The Illustrator file contains
text boxes so you can add your text labels before printing them out. If you don’t have Adobe Illustrator, you
can just print out the PDF file and write on the labels. Then cut out the square labels so they are ready to be
inserted in to the buttons.
To remove the face plate:
Step 1.
Power off the unit and disconnect all cables.
Step 2.
Remove the unit from the rack and lay it flat with the buttons facing upwards and the Ethernet
ports face-downwards on the table.
Step 3.
Using a No. 2 Phillip’s head screwdriver, remove the 4 screws found on each of the top and bottom
sides of the faceplate.
Step 4.
Now lift the face plate off the rest of the unit.
Step 5.
The button caps can be easily lifted off with your fingers. Remove the clear cap from a button that
you wish to label, while taking care to avoid lifting the silicon button membrane.
Step 6.
Loosely place the printed label into the upturned clear cap.
Step 7.
Use a pointy device, such as the tip of a screwdriver, to lightly press the four corners of the square
paper label into the four, rounded corners of the clear cap. Avoid using a pen for the pointy device
as it is likely to mark your labels.
Step 8.
Reinstate the clear cap containing the printed label. As the clear cap is pressed down on to its
silicon button, the paper label will be pushed forward, and neatly held flat against the window of
the clear cap. Repeat for as many buttons as you wish to label.
Step 9.
Lower the face plate back into position, making sure the Blackmagic Design logo is the correct
way up.
Step 10.
Replace the eight screws.
Steps 3-5. Remove the 4 screws, lift off the face plate and then
the button caps
Step 7. Lightly press the four corners of the square label into the
rounded corners of the clear cap
