Broadcast Pix
V3.0
2.3 Devices
The Broadcast Pix panel can control a studio of devices. Each device performs one
function. In a traditional live television studio, many of these devices are in a separate
box with its own operator. The Broadcast Pix panel provides flexible control over a wide
range of devices, by using the device controls. When a device is selected the entire
bank of device controls are assigned to that device, including the Joystick, 4 knobs,
motion buttons, and a PixPad of 12 PixButtons. The list of supported devices will grow
over time, check for new devices at www.broadcastpix.com.
Each device has a unique icon that appears on the top of the PixButtons. Broadcast Pix
