SKAARHOJ Rack Fusion Live Hall Effect joystick switching and PTZ controller

SKAARHOJ Rack Fusion Live w/Hall Effect Joystick

SKAARHOJ Rack Fusion Live combines several control functions in a single rack-mountable unit, designed for one-man-band operation: live switching, PTZ cameras and other live production devices from one compact panel. It fuses two established SKAARHOJ products, Live Fly and PTZ Fly, in a chassis that allows desktop operation or rack/table mounting. This version is fitted with a Hall Effect joystick.

Programmable buttons, a smooth transition fader and a dedicated PTZ joystick give access to switching, camera movements and advanced settings. Different systems from multiple brands can be controlled from the same panel, for example a Blackmagic ATEM or vMix switcher with PTZ cameras from Panasonic, Canon, Sony or BirdDog.
