Programmable Control Expansion for Quasar Consoles
The Axia Quasar SmartKey Module with 6 LCD buttons is a standalone, field-installable control module designed to add flexible, user-defined functionality to Quasar XR and SR broadcast mixing consoles. This module gives operators immediate access to frequently used commands, routing actions, and automation triggers without changing their core console layout.
Designed for Fast Workflow and Operator Efficiency
Each SmartKey button features an integrated LCD display that can show custom text and colors, making it easy for operators to identify functions at a glance. These programmable keys help streamline live production workflows by placing critical actions directly under the operator’s fingertips, reducing on-air errors and response time.
Flexible Programming with Axia Pathfinder Integration
The SmartKey Module works in conjunction with Axia Pathfinder Core PRO, allowing engineers to assign button behavior, labeling, and logic-based actions through software. Buttons can be configured for routing changes, GPIO actions, talkback control, scene recalls, or other system-level commands, making the module highly adaptable to different broadcast environments.
Standalone Module for Custom Console Builds
This version of the Quasar SmartKey Module is supplied as a standalone, uninstalled unit, making it ideal for custom console builds, expansions, or retrofits. It can be installed wherever additional control functionality is needed on the console surface, supporting modular system growth without replacing existing hardware.
Built for Professional Broadcast Reliability
Like all Quasar surface components, the SmartKey Module is engineered for continuous professional use. The LCD buttons are designed for long service life, consistent tactile response, and clear visibility in studio lighting conditions, ensuring dependable performance in live broadcast and production settings.
Packaged for Easy Field Installation
Each unit is individually packaged and includes the necessary installation guide and required hardware and cables. This makes on-site installation straightforward for broadcast engineers and system integrators, minimizing downtime during upgrades or expansions.
