About this product
Control Hub Basic is the entry paid tier of the Control Hub IP device management platform. It manages up to 20 Magewell IP devices (the same as Lite) but adds five stream conversion channels — the feature that re-encodes and routes streams between protocols without dedicated hardware per stream.
Stream conversion is the key upgrade reason. It lets Control Hub take an NDI source and republish it as SRT, take an SRT feed and route it as RTMP to a streaming platform, or bridge between any of the protocols the connected devices speak. Each of the five conversion channels operates independently.
Common deployments include small broadcast facilities and production companies running a handful of Pro Convert and Ultra Encode devices that need protocol bridging between vMix, TriCaster, OBS, YouTube and SRT-based contribution links.
