This compact hardware control surface is engineered for operators who require a fast and tactile interface when working with live production switchers. Designed with a modern workflow in mind, it integrates a high quality LCD display with curved illuminated buttons that offer clear visual feedback even in low light environments. These buttons feature customizable color backlighting and dynamic labeling, helping operators identify inputs and functions instantly without hesitation during demanding productions. The refined layout minimizes the chance of incorrect presses and supports muscle memory, making it suitable for environments where reaction time and precision are critical.
The panel includes a professional three axis joystick that allows fine control over digital video effects and camera adjustments. This makes it possible to position graphics, move DVE elements or control PTZ style operations with exceptional accuracy. A smooth weighted t bar fader provides another tactile method for executing transitions, offering the deliberate physical feel many operators prefer when performing dissolves, wipes or layered effects. These physical controls create an intuitive and responsive production experience that is difficult to replicate with software interfaces alone.
Although compact, the panel is highly capable. It includes ten primary crosspoint buttons with the ability to shift to an additional set of inputs, allowing control of up to twenty sources from a single M/E row. Dynamic labels presented above each button show input names and settings on three rows of text, ensuring clarity even during complex switching tasks. Additional dedicated buttons support macros, transition selection, key control and other essential functions, giving operators the full power of the connected switcher without navigating nested menus.
The panel’s construction is designed for professional integration. Its durable form factor fits standard broadcast racks, making it suitable for studio installations, OB trucks and portable flyaway kits. Ethernet connectivity allows connection to additional control surfaces or computers without requiring external network hardware. The unit supports redundant power inputs for reliability during critical events, and its efficient design ensures low heat output and dependable operation across a wide range of environments. Together, these capabilities make this compact control surface a powerful extension to any ATEM live production system, enabling consistent and confident operation in both small and large facilities
