Our ProDeck 24 desktop control surface, that is fully customisable to a myriad of operational environments
The integration of Companion into the ProDeck range marks a major evolution in broadcast control, providing users with a professional-grade hardware interface that leverages Companion’s powerful capabilities. With Companion support, broadcasters and AV professionals can trigger commands across multiple devices and software platforms, streamlining workflows and expanding customization possibilities.
Companion enhances ProDeck’s functionality by enabling users to send commands via OSC, TCP, UDP, HTTP, WebSocket, and ArtNet, providing comprehensive control over presentation switchers, video playback software, and various broadcast tools.
The addition of Companion integration to our ProDeck series is a significant milestone. Industry demand for a fully integrated, cost-effective control surface that works effortlessly with Companion has been clear. This development delivers a professional alternative to consumer-grade controllers while offering unparalleled flexibility for managing a wide range of broadcast, video, and production systems.
“With the Companion integration, the ProDeck series delivers professional-grade control to a broader audience. Whether users seek a full touchscreen interface, a hybrid solution, or a more tactile experience, our solutions offer unmatched adaptability and seamless integration.
