SKAARHOJ Master Key 48 Blue live switching and control panel

SKAARHOJ Master Key 48

SKAARHOJ Master Key 48 is a live switching and control panel for professional broadcast environments, with programmable NKK keys and OLED displays for dynamic labeling. It works with vision mixers such as Grass Valley AMPP, Panasonic KAIROS, Vizrt TriCaster, Blackmagic ATEM, vMix and Ross, in cloud-based, rack-mounted or hybrid production setups.

Designed as an extension for Master Key One or T-Block, it expands the Program/Preview rows by 12 additional inputs without navigating through layers; it can also be used as a stand-alone desktop panel with a switching layout. It is a core module of the SKAARHOJ Mega Panel system, where several units can be arranged in one, two or three rows to build a multi-M/E surface. Standard desktop enclosure with the SKAARHOJ signature blue finish.
