Blackmagic Design Videohub Master Control Pro

Dedicated Hardware Control Panel for Blackmagic Videohub Routing Systems

The Blackmagic Design Videohub Master Control Pro is a professional hardware control panel designed for direct control of Blackmagic Videohub routers. It provides a simple and efficient interface for selecting sources and destinations, allowing operators to manage signal routing quickly in broadcast studios, live production environments, post-production facilities, and AV installations.

The panel features a large spin knob, dedicated destination and source selection buttons, and a built-in LCD display that shows routing labels and system information. This intuitive design allows operators to select a destination and then choose a source using the control knob, enabling fast and accurate routing changes within complex SDI infrastructures.

Videohub Master Control Pro connects to compatible Videohub routers via Ethernet and integrates easily into existing networked routing systems. Multiple control panels can be installed throughout a facility so operators in different locations can manage routing where it is needed.

The compact rackmount design makes it suitable for installation in broadcast control rooms, edit suites, machine rooms, and mobile production trucks. It works alongside Videohub Software Control and other Videohub control panels to provide flexible routing control within professional video environments.
