- Hall effect joystick delivers precise, comfortable 3-axis camera control
- Large menu display with encoders gives instant access to every setting
- RGB backlit keys enable fast camera or preset selection in low light
- Menu selector keys with user banks streamline multi-camera workflows
- Larger hand rest and direct-access layout reduce fatigue during long productions
Dedicated PTZ Controller
The Skaarhoj PTZ Pro Controller provides physical buttons and encoders for direct camera control. It suits broadcast operators and live-production crews who need tactile, immediate access to pan, tilt, zoom and menu functions without relying on touchscreens or software layers. The integrated hand rest supports comfort during extended sessions.
Hall-Effect Joystick & RGB Keys
A 3-axis Hall-effect joystick delivers drift-free, precise motion for pan, tilt and zoom movements. Camera selection and preset keys feature RGB backlighting for clear visual feedback in low-light environments. Numbered keys enable instant recall of cameras or stored positions, while menu selector keys with user banks streamline navigation through deep on-screen menus.
Studio & Field Production Ready
The controller handles multi-camera VISCA workflows with direct hardware access to every setting and action. It runs out of reach when a production requires wireless tally integration, IP-based auto-discovery or built-in streaming encoder controls, as those functions are not part of this hardware package.

Questions about this item
Will the Hall effect joystick mechanism need periodic recalibration or replacement?
Hall effect sensors have no physical wiper contacts, so the joystick does not require recalibration or wear-related replacement under normal use.
What limits continuous operation — thermal throttling of the encoder electronics or the power supply rating?
The controller draws low power from its external supply and has no active cooling; sustained use is limited by the supply’s current rating, not internal heat.
How much audible noise and heat does the unit produce when left running all day?
With no fans or moving parts beyond the joystick and encoders, it runs silently and stays near ambient temperature during all-day operation.
