Reactor - The Engine Behind Your Controller
Reactor is the built-in web UI that transforms SKAARHOJ panels from smart controllers into powerful, centralized control systems. Open it in any browser, pick the devices you want to control, and build anything from fast plug-and-play layouts to deeply customized, automated productions.
Simple Setup, Plug-and-Play Control
In Reactor’s web UI, you start by telling your panel which products you want to control and pairing it with your devices. Thanks to a large library of proven configurations, most setups are plug-and-play, so you can be on air in minutes rather than hours. You get a clear overview of panels and devices, and Reactor takes care of the underlying mappings for you.
Deep Customization for Unique Workflows
When you want to go beyond the defaults, Reactor gives you full creative freedom. Every button, encoder, fader and joystick on a SKAARHOJ panel is fully programmable, allowing you to build your own sections, layers and pages and shape the controller exactly to your way of working. Keep it minimal with just a few key functions or design multi-layered surfaces for complex productions - the choice is yours.
Layouts for Users and Productions
Reactor makes it easy to support different operators, shows and locations through projects. You can create dedicated layouts for each user, so everyone can have their preferred workflow ready at the touch of a button. The same project system lets you switch quickly between different production types - for example sports, church, and conference - without rebuilding your configuration every time.
From Controller to Central Control System
Because every panel comes with Blue Pill Inside, your SKAARHOJ controller can act as the central brain of your system. Reactor lets you connect and coordinate multiple devices at once - vision mixers, routers, audio mixers, DSPs, recorders, cameras, robotic systems, lights, converters and more - regardless of brand. You can design salvos, macros and scenes that span across devices and recall them with a single press, turning a compact panel into a powerful, system-wide controller.
Automation and Conditional Logic
Reactor also brings automation into your production workflow. You can schedule actions based on time and date, or trigger logic based on changes in device states across your network. In practice, that means when device A does something, other devices can respond automatically - even if they are from different manufacturers and their APIs would normally never “talk” to each other.
Apps and Extensions Inside Reactor
Reactor works like an operating system for your control ecosystem. You can install applications that extend what your system can do, from simple licenses that open Reactor to third-party controllers, to advanced tools like Production Assistant that help automate and orchestrate entire productions. As we release new apps and integrations, your existing controllers gain new capabilities without needing new hardware.
