Programmable Control Expansion for Quasar Consoles
The Axia 2001-00613-000 Quasar SmartKey Module with 12 LCD buttons is a factory-installed control module designed to expand the operational flexibility of Axia Quasar XR and SR broadcast consoles. This module adds a dedicated bank of programmable LCD buttons, giving operators fast, tactile access to frequently used console functions, routing commands, and automation triggers.
Designed for Fast Broadcast Workflows
Built for professional radio and television studios, the SmartKey Module allows engineers and operators to execute complex actions with a single button press. Each LCD button can display custom text and color coding, making it easy to identify functions at a glance during live production, breaking news, or fast-paced on-air environments.
Deep Integration with Axia Quasar Systems
This SmartKey Module integrates directly into the Quasar console architecture and is configured using Axia Pathfinder Core PRO. Once programmed, buttons can control console logic, routing salvos, GPIO triggers, intercom functions, and other workflow elements across the Axia AoIP network, reducing reliance on external control panels or software screens.
Clear Visual Feedback with LCD Button Displays
Each of the 12 buttons features an integrated LCD display that provides immediate visual confirmation of assigned functions and states. This visual feedback helps prevent operator errors and supports consistent operation across shifts, studios, and facilities, especially in shared or multi-operator environments.
Factory Installed for Seamless Console Builds
As a factory-installed module, the 2001-00613-000 SmartKey Module is fully integrated into the console frame during manufacturing. This ensures proper alignment, power distribution, and network connectivity, while maintaining the clean, modular design Quasar consoles are known for.
Scalable Control for Modern Studios
The Quasar SmartKey Module supports scalable studio designs by allowing additional control layers without increasing console footprint. Whether used for show-specific macros, studio control, or system-wide commands, this module helps studios adapt their consoles to evolving production needs.
