This is the first product species that brings to life compact, quiet and robust UHD-over-IP SDI/HDMI signal conversion. Newt is fluent in many open control protocols such as NMOS, EmBER+, and DashBoard (to name but a few), thus giving you the freedom to throw this little guy down into the IP environment of your choice.

Compact & Robust- Compact & robust signal conversion and processing of many formats from HD to UHD.

Open Control - Open control gives you the freedom to run Newt from our DashBoard™ control system, and/or seamlessly from many 3rd-party control systems.

Software Defined - What you need, when you need it: software defined processing enables multiple uses and functions.

Quiet - Newt is the strong silent type, with studio applications in mind. Unlike other IP conversion products with fans that scream loudly, you’ll barely hear a purr from Newt.

Goes Anywhere - Flexible mounting options enable Newt to scale any wall, zip-tie to a post, hide under a desk, behind a display, or for three of them to sit comfortably on an optional rack shelf.

RouteMaster Lite brings familiar video routing capabilities to Newtek’s NDI® video. Based on our proven RouteMaster system, it gives operators a range of familiar control interfaces for controlling video switching.

Switching is suitable for all live, on-air applications, making RouteMaster Lite ideal for fast manual intervention.

No video streams are passed through the router system, instead traffic is redirected at the network level.  This means only minimal bandwidth and processor requirements are needed, regardless of the number of video streams and resolution. There’s also no additional video delay through the system. Additionally, RouteMaster Lite does not become a central point of failure: If the router system fails for any reason, video continues to flow from sources to destinations uninterrupted.

RouteMaster Lite is ideal for OB and production environments, supporting up to 20 sources and 20 destinations. For larger systems with more complex requirements, the same NDI switching technology is available in the full-featured RouteMaster system.

The built-in GUI is ideal for preset and take switching, showing resizeable video previews and audio metering  of the current video and the chosen source.

External Control

While control from the built-in GUI is fast and easy, it’s not ideal for all situations. Therefore RouteMaster lite supports external control from:

• Web Panels served by the integrated web server


• Familiar hardware panels like Blackmagic Design Smart Control


• Or, third-party software which uses the Blackmagic VideoHub protocol

You can use all these control methods simultaneously, with router status immediately visible to all users.

RouteMaster uses Rascular’s proven router control and emulation technology to form a powerful yet flexible router control system. Built on tried and tested software modules, RouteMaster can be used with a wide range of video and audio routers  from all major manufacturers.

It’s equally suitable for new router installations or increasing the capabilities – and lifetime – of existing systems. You can add third-party hardware panels to existing systems, add IP connectivity to older serial routers, or simply increase the number of control ports available.

The integrated web server means operators can control routers from any web browser, using custom control panels built with Helm Designer. And because it’s built on HTML5 standards, there’s no need for browser plugins.

Here at Rascular we have Helm, a solution that’s been deployed by facilities around the world to address multiple control workflow requirements across Master Control and beyond.

Helm is a PC-based application that allows users and systems integrators to design and build customised control panels that, in their simplest form, sit alongside automation and provide manual control of a single device. For example, this could be a master control switcher, with the user panel exposing only those controls needed for monitoring and manual intervention. In more complex deployments, Helm is used to provide manual, supervisory override capabilities in automated, multi-device (branding engine, multi-viewer, router, video server and modular gear), multi-channel, HD/SD environments with pods of channels. This includes by some of the world’s largest playout companies.

The scalability of Helm makes it a go-to solution for companies wishing to invest in future-proof technology.
