Programmable Control Expansion for Quasar Broadcast Consoles
The Axia 2001-00614-999 Quasar SmartKey Module is a standalone, uninstalled control surface module designed to add powerful programmable functionality to Axia Quasar XR and SR AoIP broadcast consoles. This 2-channel-wide module gives operators fast, direct access to frequently used commands, routing actions, and system functions without navigating menus, making live production workflows faster and more consistent.
Eighteen LCD Buttons for Custom Workflow Control
This SmartKey module provides a total of 18 high-visibility LCD buttons arranged in up to four blocks of six programmable keys. Each button can display user-defined text, ensuring every function is clearly labeled and easy to identify at a glance. This layout supports complex broadcast environments where quick decision-making and instant access to controls are critical.
Deep Integration with Axia Pathfinder Core PRO
All SmartKey buttons are fully programmable using Axia Pathfinder Core PRO, allowing engineers to assign simple commands or complex logic-driven actions to each key. Routing changes, console salvos, machine control, and software-triggered events can all be executed with a single button press, helping operators stay focused on content rather than system navigation.
Designed for Quasar XR and SR Modular Consoles
Built specifically for the Quasar XR and SR console families, the SmartKey Module integrates seamlessly into modular console layouts. Its 2-channel width allows it to fit naturally alongside fader modules and other control components, maintaining a consistent surface design while expanding operational capability.
Clear Visual Feedback in Live Production Environments
The integrated LCD buttons provide dynamic visual feedback, ensuring operators always know what each control is assigned to. This is especially valuable in fast-paced broadcast studios, control rooms, and production facilities where multiple users may interact with the console across different shifts.
Standalone Flexibility for Custom Installations
Supplied as a standalone, uninstalled module, this SmartKey unit offers flexibility for system integrators and broadcast engineers designing custom console layouts. It is ideal for new console builds, expansions, or reconfigurations where additional user-defined control is required.
