Blackmagic Design Videohub Master Control Pro

A "Pro" Controller Designed for Modern Routers and Mobile Control Rooms

In environments where routing matrices quickly become dense (multiplying cameras, servers, players, returns, video walls, recorders, streaming), the Videohub Master Control Pro has a clear goal: quickly access the entire matrix without wasting time navigating blindly. Its approach combines "hardware" ergonomics (dial and buttons) with immediate feedback thanks to the integrated LCD screen, making it a coherent solution for both fixed control rooms and more mobile workflows.

Another key point: its ability to integrate into varied architectures. Depending on the setup, it can operate as a Videohub controller or as an NMOS 2110 controller, facilitating the transition between existing infrastructures and IP broadcast-oriented deployments.

Who Benefits and In What Use Cases the Videohub Master Control Pro Makes a Difference

This controller is aimed at teams needing fast, clear, and reliable routing: control room technicians, video engineers, floor operators, live studios, service providers, OB vans, conference rooms, audiovisual education institutions, or post-production managing multiple inputs and outputs daily.

Practically, it is ideal when you need to change a destination within seconds (sending a camera to a recorder, switching a return to a monitor, rerouting a player to a mixer) while keeping a clear view of the routing. The dial allows quick scrolling through matrix elements, while button access meets the needs of operators who prefer direct gestures without detours.

Ergonomics, Network Control, and Configuration: A Surface Designed to Get Straight to the Point

Smooth Navigation Between Sources and Destinations

The Videohub Master Control Pro is designed to browse a matrix without friction. You can scroll through sources and destinations using the control dial, then confirm your choices precisely. If your workflow relies on fast, repeatable actions, using dedicated buttons allows direct selection, speeding up handling in real conditions (live, rehearsals, events, daily operations).

LCD Screen: Routing at a Glance Without Dependence on a Computer

The integrated LCD screen provides immediate comfort: you visualize the routing and maintain a clear context while navigating. In a studio where multiple people manipulate the video network, this readability reduces errors and speeds up corrections, especially when the matrix includes numerous inputs and outputs.

Videohub or NMOS 2110 Control: Adapt the Device to Your Infrastructure

Depending on your environment, the Master Control Pro can be configured to control a Videohub solution or act as an NMOS 2110 controller. This flexibility is valuable for evolving installations: you can maintain a consistent control logic even when the network ecosystem changes or expands.

Connectivity and Power: Clean Integration in Rack, Control Room, or Studio

Network connection is via RJ45 Ethernet, with one input and one output. To simplify cabling, the Ethernet input supports Power over Ethernet (the Ethernet output does not support PoE). For maintenance, the USB-C port is provided for software updates and configuration. Finally, power supply is designed for professional contexts: operation possible via DC or Ethernet (PoE on input), with mains compatibility from 100 to 240 AC.
