Programmable Control Expansion for Quasar Consoles
The Axia 2001-00613-999 Quasar SmartKey Module with 12 LCD buttons is a standalone, uninstalled control surface module designed to expand operator control on Quasar XR and Quasar SR broadcast consoles. It adds a dense bank of programmable keys that give users fast access to routing commands, logic functions, and system controls without occupying fader space.
Twelve Dynamic LCD Keys in a Compact Module
This SmartKey module provides twelve full-color LCD buttons arranged across a two-channel-wide surface footprint. Each button can display user-defined text and colors, allowing operators to identify functions instantly at a glance. The LCD design supports changing labels and states in real time, making it ideal for studios that handle varied shows and workflows.
Flexible Programming Through Pathfinder Control
Using Axia Pathfinder Core PRO, every SmartKey can be assigned to simple actions or complex logic-driven events. Buttons can trigger routing changes, GPIO actions, salvos, or other system commands, giving engineers and operators consistent, repeatable control across the Axia Livewire environment.
Standalone Module for Custom Console Builds
This version ships as a standalone, uninstalled module, making it well suited for custom console builds, expansions, or staged system deployments. It can be integrated into new Quasar surfaces or added later as operational needs grow, offering flexibility for evolving broadcast facilities.
Optimized for Broadcast Speed and Accuracy
SmartKey modules are designed to reduce on-air errors by placing frequently used actions directly under the operator’s fingertips. The combination of visual feedback and programmable logic helps streamline live production, news operations, and talk studios where speed and reliability matter most.
Part of the Axia Quasar Control Ecosystem
Fully compatible with Quasar XR and SR consoles, this SmartKey module integrates seamlessly into Axia AoIP systems. It complements fader modules and master sections, allowing facilities to tailor control layouts to specific studio roles and operational preferences.
