SKAARHOJ RCPv2 Joystick w/SDI and Blue Pill Inside

The SKAARHOJ RCPv2 Joystick with SDI and Blue Pill Inside is a professional camera shading controller designed for precise multicamera and PTZ control. Featuring an integrated joystick, SDI input/output for direct Blackmagic camera shading, OLED displays, and extensive customization, it delivers powerful broadcast-grade control in a rack-ready form factor.

The SKAARHOJ RCPv2 Joystick with SDI and Blue Pill Inside is an advanced camera shading IP controller built for demanding broadcast and live production environments. Designed to provide precise and consistent control across multiple camera systems—including mixed brands—it integrates Blue Pill Inside technology, embedding Reactor software, Device Cores, and skaarOS Linux directly into the hardware for maximum flexibility and performance.

A key enhancement of this model is its integrated 3G-SDI input and output, enabling direct camera shading of compatible Blackmagic Design cameras without additional converters. Combined with a responsive joystick system that includes left-right, up-down, and wheel controls, the unit provides highly accurate PTZ, zoom, focus, and shading adjustments in real time.

The controller features eight LED-backlit encoders, multiple elastomer buttons, configurable knobs, and four-way programmable controls, all designed for adaptable workflows. A large collection of OLED displays—including segmented screens and display tiles—provides clear visual feedback, ensuring operators can monitor and adjust camera parameters efficiently.

Built for integration into professional setups, the RCPv2 Joystick includes a DB-9 GPIO port and supports Gigabit Ethernet with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), allowing seamless installation into existing broadcast infrastructures. It also supports Wi-Fi and Micro-USB for service and configuration, with full customization available through the Reactor Web UI.

The classic RCP rack-friendly form factor ensures compatibility with OB vans, control rooms, and studio consoles. Power can be supplied via PoE or the included 12V AC adapter with a 5-foot cable, making it flexible for both fixed and mobile production environments.
