Founded in 2012 in Copenhagen by Kasper Skårhøj, SKAARHOJ has spent over a decade developing universal broadcast control surfaces that adapt to any workflow. Trusted by broadcasters, OB operators, studios and live event producers on every continent.
Available across MENA and Turkey through MediaCast — authorised SKAARHOJ partner, with Albert available for pre-sales system design and live demonstrations at the MCX Experience Centre.
SKAARHOJ controllers run the Blue Pill Inside™ platform — an open, IP-based control architecture that communicates with broadcast devices over standard Ethernet. Every SKAARHOJ panel ships with Blue Pill Inside, enabling deep integration with cameras, switchers, routers and audio consoles without proprietary drivers. Blue Pill Reactor software manages all connected panels and devices from a single web interface.
IP control protocols include VISCA IP, PELCO P/D, ONVIF and RS-232, making SKAARHOJ cameras natively compatible with Q-SYS, Crestron, AMX and Extron control systems without additional drivers or middleware. AI auto-tracking, PDAF autofocus, FreeD virtual production support and Genlock synchronisation are available across the Explore and Vision+ series.
SKAARHOJ controllers are deployed in broadcast studios, OB trucks, sports venues, houses of worship and live event productions worldwide. In MENA and Turkey, MediaCast holds the full SKAARHOJ portfolio in stock in Dubai, with Albert available for pre-sales system design, workflow consultancy and live demonstrations at the MCX Experience Centre in Barsha Heights.

Blue Pill Inside is the IP-based control platform built into every SKAARHOJ controller. It is what makes SKAARHOJ universal — enabling any panel to communicate with any compatible device from any manufacturer, managed through the Blue Pill Reactor web interface with auto-discovery over standard Ethernet.
Link IO bridges the physical broadcast world to IP. Tally signals, GPIO, relay outputs, opto-isolated inputs and LANC camera control — all converted to and from IP for use with Blue Pill Inside. The connective tissue that links traditional SDI and analogue control signals into the SKAARHOJ IP control ecosystem. Essential for hybrid analogue/IP broadcast environments.
Danish engineering meets broadcast wisdom. Six reasons why the world’s leading broadcast operators choose SKAARHOJ control surfaces.
Every SKAARHOJ controller ships with Blue Pill Inside — the open IP control platform that communicates with 1000+ devices from 100+ manufacturers. No proprietary protocols. No locked ecosystems. Change your camera, your switcher, your router and your SKAARHOJ controller adapts.
Traditional joysticks wear out. Hall-effect sensors use magnetic fields instead of physical contacts — delivering sub-millimetre precision and a lifespan measured in decades, not months. Every SKAARHOJ PTZ controller uses Hall-effect technology for the most precise PTZ camera control available.
SKAARHOJ uses NKK switches with built-in OLED displays. Every button shows its current function, source label or camera name in real time. No guesswork. No tape labels. In fast-paced live production, this is the difference between confident control and uncertainty.
Blue Pill Inside automatically discovers compatible devices on the network. Most setups are running in under 5 minutes. Every SKAARHOJ controller is PoE-powered — a single Ethernet cable carries both power and control, eliminating power supplies and cable clutter from the operator position.
Every SKAARHOJ panel is fully programmable. Quick-start presets get you working immediately. Deep customisation via Reactor software lets experienced operators map any device, any function to any button, encoder or fader. Layouts are saved per-production and recalled instantly.
SKAARHOJ support engineers can remotely access any internet-connected controller to diagnose and fix issues without on-site intervention. For live production environments where downtime is measured in seconds, this remote support capability is unique in the broadcast control surface market.
