What sits under your fingers

Premium Precision

The Middle Remote design has been optimised to provide you with a maximum level of control while staying as compact as possible.

    3-Axis Joystick

    Pan, Tilt, and Zoom on a single precision stick. Move horizontally and vertically to pan & tilt. Twist to Zoom in and out. Can be inverted and remapped.

  • B
    4 Assignable RGB buttons

    Hardware-labelled (sticker pack included) and reassignable. Camera ID Selection, Active Track trigger, recording trigger — your call.

  • C
    8 Touch-Sensitive Encoders

    Can be mapped to camera settings like Iris · Gain · WB · Tint · Focus · Contrast · Saturation · Master Black · Pan / Tilt Speed and more. Also supports push actions, adding 8 more buttons.

  • D
    4 OLED displays

    Showing the exact settings values (Iris, Gain, White Balance..) in realtime for all the encoders.

Every Remote ships with a sticker pack so you can physically label the four RGB buttons by their current action. Re-map the action, peel off the old sticker, drop the new one on.

Make Pro X

A modular approach

Expand with Make Pro X tiles.

The components of the Middle Remote are designed by MakePro X, a German company with whom we have been working very closely on this custom integration. The Remote is made up of button tiles that can be swapped and configured the way you want. This way, the controller will grow with you!

Build your own custom console to control not just video, but also audio, lights, projectors.. The Middle Remote is built from interchangeable Make Pro X tiles, so it can scale from a compact two-camera switcher to a full size console.
Annotated custom Make Pro X build showing Pan/Tilt/Zoom on the joystick, Focus and Black Level on the encoders, ATEM Master Audio Level and Behringer X32 Master Level on the faders, and Camera Selector on the RGB buttons
For instance, with the Glue Software and additional tiles and chassis by Make Pro X, you can create a custom remote that would have motorized faders for audio control, encoders & joystick for video, buttons for shortcuts...
