IP Based Router Control at Your Fingertips
The Axia 2001-00604-000 17-Button LCD SmartSwitch Panel is a networked router control surface designed to give operators fast, reliable access to routing, machine control, and software functions across an Axia Livewire system. Powered via PoE and built for rackmount installation, it puts critical control exactly where operators need it.
Dynamic LCD Buttons for Clear Visual Feedback
Each of the 17 buttons features a backlit LCD display that can change both text and color in real time. This allows operators to instantly identify routing states, logic conditions, or active functions at a glance, reducing errors and speeding up daily operations in broadcast and production environments.
One Touch Access to Complex Routing Actions
Using PathfinderPC software, individual buttons can be programmed to trigger anything from simple routing changes to complex multi-step salvos. Multiple pages of button assignments can be created and recalled instantly, giving a single panel the flexibility to handle a wide range of workflows without adding clutter.
Web Based Configuration for Easy System Management
The SmartSwitch Panel is configured through intuitive web-based setup pages accessible from any computer on the Livewire network. This makes it easy for engineers to adjust button labels, colors, and behaviors without specialized tools, streamlining installation and long-term maintenance.
Flexible Deployment in Studios and Control Rooms
Designed for rackmount use and powered entirely by PoE, the SmartSwitch Panel installs cleanly into studios, control rooms, equipment racks, or technical areas. Its network-based design allows it to be placed wherever control access is needed without running additional power circuits.
Built for Livewire and Pathfinder Integration
Fully compatible with Axia Livewire networks and PathfinderPC routing control software, the 17-button SmartSwitch integrates seamlessly into existing Axia infrastructures. It provides dependable control for routing, logic events, and automation triggers in mission-critical broadcast systems.
