The Blackmagic Videohub Master Control Pro is a professional hardware controller designed to provide fast, tactile and precise routing control for Videohub 12G‑SDI systems and 2110 IP infrastructures. Its design features a smooth‑action spin knob for rapid scrolling through every source and destination on the router, supported by an integrated LCD that displays labels, routing status and visual feedback for instant confirmation. Twenty‑one fully assignable buttons allow direct entry of sources and destinations for high‑speed operation in live production environments. The unit can function both as a traditional Videohub controller and as a complete NMOS IS‑04/IS‑05 compliant IP router controller, enabling seamless integration into modern SMPTE 2110 workflows. It supports Ethernet control with power over Ethernet for single‑cable installation, while the additional Ethernet output enables flexible daisy‑chain deployment across control rooms and broadcast racks. The Master Control Pro includes USB‑C connectivity for configuration and firmware updates, internal memory for persistent button mapping and communication recovery after power loss, and a rugged 1RU chassis that fits comfortably into any professional production environment. Engineered for reliability, speed and compatibility, it delivers a highly responsive routing experience for studios, OB trucks, live events and facility‑wide signal management.
