SKAARHOJ panels are designed to integrate seamlessly with Blackmagic Design cameras through three flexible methods:
• ATEM switchers, acting as Camera Control Units (CCUs)
• SDI connectivity, available in selected SKAARHOJ controllers or via the dedicated ETH-SDI Link device
• Ethernet connectivity, leveraging the advanced Blackmagic REST API
SKAARHOJ’s versatile solutions ensure professional-grade control and compatibility, making them the ideal choice for live production, broadcast, and studio environments.

ATEM Production Switchers
SKAARHOJ controllers deliver precise, efficient control for Blackmagic Design ATEM vision mixers, streamlining live production workflows. Manage key functions like program/preview switching, transitions, macros, keyers, audio mixing, and DVE effects with ease. Fully access ATEM’s capabilities, from keyer control to advanced transitions, via simple Ethernet or direct connection. Compatible with the entire ATEM series, SKAARHOJ offers intuitive, reliable control tailored for live production and broadcast professionals.
Already using controllers like Crestron touch panels? No problem—we’ve got you covered - see below!
Interface ATEM Switchers with 3rd Party Products
TCP Link for Atem will translate TCP communication into Atem-recognisable UDP stream and allow you to interface all the parameters that are already implemented by our engineers. A perfect solution for AV integrators looking to implement Atem video switchers into setups such as lecture theatres and conference rooms.
Alternatively, the same can be achieved with any Blue Pill device (such as Blue Pill Server) with a DC-Link license enabled.
Fairlight Audio Control
We haven’t overlooked audio control! SKAARHOJ’s tactile, motorized fader controllers bridge the gap between video and broadcast audio, offering precise control over every channel of Fairlight Audio within ATEM video switchers. Adjust levels, pan, gain, mute, EQ, and more for each channel—whether it’s audio embedded in video signals, microphone inputs, or MADI channels. The Wave Board and Wave Board Mini provide a seamless, intuitive solution, making them the perfect complement to any ATEM-based production workflow.
Smart Videohub Routers
Take control of your Blackmagic Design Smart Videohub with SKAARHOJ’s versatile controllers! Effortlessly manage video routing by switching sources and destinations, renaming routes, and activating presets with precision and speed. Whether you’re working with a compact or large-scale Videohub, SKAARHOJ ensures your routing needs are covered, making it easy to handle even the most dynamic live production setups. Connect via Ethernet for seamless integration and enjoy a reliable, user-friendly interface designed for busy broadcast, AV, and production environments. Say goodbye to complexity and hello to smarter, faster video routing!
Hyperdeck Recorders
SKAARHOJ universal panels make it easy to integrate Blackmagic HyperDeck recorders into your workflow. Whether you use HyperDeck Shuttle HD, HyperDeck Studio, or HyperDeck Extreme, our controllers adapt seamlessly to your setup.
You can assign buttons on a panel like Air Fly Pro to control playback, recording, clip selection, scrobbling, and more, or use a dedicated controller for HyperDeck operation. With SKAARHOJ automation, macros can streamline your workflow—for example automatically loading a clip when switching inputs.

Monitoring Devices
If you have a Blackmagic-based studio, chances are that you already have one or more of their very popular rack-mountable screens - SmartView 4K, SmartView Duo or SmartScope Duo 4K, and, you guessed it right - we can control that too! Why reach out to the screen and cycle through on screen menus when you can adjust the settings straight from your desk? Quickly toggle and change scopes and overlays, adjust screen parameters and more. Easy!
