Magewell’s second-generation centralized device management software, Control Hub, provides centralized configuration and control of multiple Magewell streaming and IP conversion solutions. Administrators, IT staff and systems integrators can easily manage encoders and decoders across multiple locations through an intuitive, browser-based interface. An HTTP-based API is also available for third-party integration.
The Control Hub software supports Magewell hardware products including Ultra Stream and Ultra Encode live media encoders; Pro Convert NDI® encoders and decoders; the Pro Convert Audio DX IP audio converter; and the USB Fusion capture and mixing device. Users can remotely configure device parameters, monitor device status, trigger operational functions – such as starting or stopping encoding – and perform batch firmware upgrades across multiple units of the same model.
The Control Hub software is delivered as a Docker container and can be deployed on public cloud infrastructure or the customers’ own server. Linux® is the recommended operating system for Control Hub installations, but the software is also compatible with Windows® and MacOS®.
Control Hub Lite provides device management (up to 20 devices per license) for customers who do not require streaming protocol conversion. Multiple Control Hub Lite licenses can be combined to manage a greater number of devices in increments of 20.
(Control Hub Basic, Control Hub Plus and Control Hub Pro are available for customers who also require streaming protocol conversion.)
