Blackmagic Design Videohub Smart Control Pro – Router Control Panel
Product Overview
The Blackmagic Design Videohub Smart Control Pro is a 1RU hardware router control panel with 48 programmable buttons for switching sources and destinations on a Videohub routing system over Ethernet. Designed for both large broadcast systems and portable racks, it gives operators dedicated push-button control of live routing without a computer. Ten assignable macro buttons and power-fail protection make it a dependable broadcast routing control panel for permanent installs and mobile productions.
Product Description
The Videohub Smart Control Pro is a rack-mount router control panel that drives source and destination routing on a network. Forty-eight push buttons on the front panel are configured for sources and destinations, alongside ten assignable macro buttons and several configuration buttons, all programmed over USB with the included Mac and Windows software. Power-fail protection preserves button configurations if power is lost, so the panel returns to its programmed state after an outage. On the rear, an RJ45 Ethernet input with PoE both connects to the routing network and powers the unit, or it can be powered with a separately available C13 cable; an Ethernet loop output (without PoE) communicates with destinations. Two RS-422 ports are present for future implementation, and a USB Type-C port handles software configuration and firmware updates. In a 1RU frame, this 48-button source/destination router control panel fits standard broadcast racks and portable production cases alike.
