SKAARHOJ Default Configurations
Out of the box we try to provide you with the quickest possible setup to get started controlling your devices. To do so we have created a curated set of configurations, that make it easy to add and combine different devices from different manufacturers with our panels.
Panel Classes
To be able to make systematic configurations we created our Configuration Classes. These classes categorizes every SKAARHOJ Panel for its intended purpose.
The following Configuration Classes exist:
-
Camera Light Class
-
Camera Standard Class
-
Camera Pro Class
-
Switcher Class
-
Audio Class
-
Quick Class
-
Routing Panels
-
Mega Panel configurations
Camera Light, Pro and Standard Class
The Pro and Standard Class compatible panels are our shading and PTZ panels. A ProClass panel is defined by having a menu based around 8 standard Encoders, a Standard Class panel has a menu based around 4 standard encoders,
Usually these configurations are called "Generic Camera Control"
Light Class Panels
- PTZ Wiz
- Air Fly Pro (V2 and V3) Wiz Section
Standard Class Panels
- PTZ Fly
- PTZ Pro
- Color Fly
- Right Side of Rack Fusion Live
Pro Class Panels
- PTZ Extreme (V1, V2)
- RCP Pro
- RCP V2
- PTZ View (aka MKA 2)
- INLINE 22 + XC 7
Configuration Options
In these configurations every panel has a CameraSelector, a TallyForwardingConfig and a RoutingTriggerConfig
The Camera Selector is where you can add different Cameras. Every Panel has a button row dedicated to selecting the camera. Depending on the devicecore used to connect to this camera a different menu will be loaded for the camera when it is selected. You can also configure its name, tally index and routing index in the same Constant Set Table
Switcher Class configurations
Switcher Class configurations are meant for our live switching controllers and device cores. They will provide you with all the most common functions that most people will need to control a switcher system. But we also provide many layers of advanced features and options, that allow you to control most aspects of your switcher device, like our quick class or ptz sections.
Switcher Class Panels
- Air Fly
- Air Fly Pro (V1, V2, V3)
- Master Key One (V1, V2)
Audio Class configurations
Audio Class configurations are default configurations provided by SKAARHOJ that work with controllers that have at least 4 Faders as their main components.
To use them in Reactor, select a "Generic Audio" configuration for your panel, then fill the channel config with devices.
Audio Class Panels
- Wave Board (V1, V2)
- Wave Board Mini
- Color Fly (V2, V3)
- Wave Board (V1) 1
Quick Class configurations
Quick Class configurations are configurations that work with a Quick Bar and selected controllers that have a section of 6 4-way buttons. To use them in Reactor, select a configuration supporting Quick Class for your panel, then fill the Quick Class selector with devices you want to control.

Routing Configurations
Routing Configurations map router devices to utility controllers like the Rack Fly series or the QuickBar
MegaPanel configurations
The SKAARHOJ MegaPanel configurations usually consist out of one big configuration for several controllers, most of the time based around a TBlock (Left or Right)
Then several MK48 controllers can be added. One ME Row usually consists out of 2x MK48 and 1 TBlock.
Additional modules that fit the MegaPanel frame are for example the WaveBoardMini or the PTZ View
Understanding Sections in default configs
The default configurations usually provide a few easily configurable sections.
User Section (2)
The User Section exists on all SKAARHOJ default configurations. It covers almost all components of a panel. When you create a behavior on the User Section the new behavior will overlay the ones defined below, therefore allowing you to easily change the function of a button even if it is defined somewhere deep in the default configuration.
Camera Adjustments (1)
The Camera Adjustments section is present on all camera related configurations (light/standard/pro classes). Depending on the selected camera the corresponding menu for this specific device core is loaded and can be customized here.
Wave Board V1 has an alternative setup utilizing the extra two buttons instead of the encoder.
