Full control by Densitron

Founded over 50 years ago in Japan, Densitron has grown into a global leader in innovative control solutions. Today, Densitron offers a wide range of control panels specifically developed for the broadcast and media industries. These panels not only simplify studio operations but also prove their value in control rooms and managing for AV equipment. Designed for both ease of use and high precision, they enable you to work with accuracy and efficiency at all times.Below, you'll find an overview of all available panels, making it easy to identify the model that best fits your workflow..

ProDeck
The Densitron ProDeck is a compact desktop control panel that serves as a powerful extension of your mouse and keyboard. Depending on the model, the panel features multiple physical buttons and a touchscreen, ideal for time-critical environments such as live broadcasts. Effortlessly switch between cameras during a Visual Radio production, or trigger jingles and sound effects with ease. Since the buttons also function as miniature screens, you receive real-time visual feedback and always have a clear overview of what’s happening.The interface is fully customizable, both in terms of functionality and appearance. Working with multiple users at a single workstation? Each user can configure their own interface, tailored to their individual workflow and preferences. You can even control your virtual mixer using the ProDeck Touch; we previously showcased how this setup looks in a real-world environment.

While the different ProDeck models share a similar design language, their layouts vary significantly:

 ProDeck 40Features 40 physical buttons, no touchscreen
●  ProDeck TouchFully touchscreen-based, offering maximum layout flexibility
 ProDeck 24A hybrid model with 24 physical buttons and a touchscreen above.

All panels are powered via a single Ethernet cable (PoE+), eliminating the need for an external power supply.

Did you know?:  You can also combine multiple ProDeck panels. For example, it’s easy to connect a ProDeck Touch alongside a ProDeck 24. This allows you to expand your setup and get the most out of both devices

Also Available in Rack-Mount Format
With the Densitron 1RU, 2RU, and 4RU units, you can bring touchscreen control panels directly into your technical environment. Operators can quickly switch between video sources, audio channels, and systems using the integrated touchscreens and physical buttons. This ensures maximum control, reduces the risk of errors during broadcasts, and helps maintain efficiency, even under pressure. These control panels are also perfectly suited for use in a CAR (Central Apparatus Room).

Tactila
The key advantage of Densitron’s Tactila series lies in its physical rotary controls, allowing for highly precise operation and tactile feedback. This makes it especially well-suited for controlling lighting and audio systems. The screen behind the knobs can provide visual feedback—such as lighting color or audio levels—ensuring intuitive and accurate adjustments.

Control Systems

Working with multiple systems, such as cameras, lighting, video, audio, timers, and more? With Densitron’s IDS Control System, you can manage all of them from a single centralized interface. IDS enables the integration and control of multiple devices through one unified platform. You can easily predefine workflows and automate repetitive tasks, helping you work more efficiently and save valuable time. The system is compatible with a wide range of platforms and can be flexibly configured to suit your specific operational needs. Densitron previously published an article about the BBC, who made use of their control system

In Summary
Densitron offers a broad range of solutions designed to simplify operations and save you both time and effort. By combining modern technology with intuitive touchscreen displays and physical (rotary) controls, your workflows become easier and more efficient.
