One hundred twenty-four keys with an embedded T-bar fader to create the perfect control panel for your application. Keys may be replaced by blockers or indicators to create an intuitive layout for live or post production video control.
Features
The XKE-124 offers a smooth, accurate, and reliable T-bar control with 124 keys to create the perfect control panel for any application. Single units stand readily available for experimentation and prototyping. We support every customer from initial purchase and prototyping through implementation of multiple control consoles.
Prototyping
The XKE-124 T-Bar ships fully populated with 124 relegendable keys - perfect for testing multiple layout options. Add optional large keys and key blockers to refine the layout. Using an established hardware platform saves time moving from prototype to production.
Production
When it comes time to reproduce your finished prototype, Solid Color Keys or Clear Keys for a professional look. We offer custom brand labeling, assembly, programming, and testing to provide a delivered plug-and-play solution. We specialize in 10-100 unit custom control solutions with the capability to step up to thousands of units for large-scale deployment.
