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.

Helm
Helm allows the design of a control system dedicated to your operators’ requirements; there’s no clutter of unnecessary controls or information and no risk of confusion between channels as you switch from one manufacturer UI to another. There’s no hunting for the right buttons to press. We can help you design and implement Helm control panels, and you’ll have all the tools to modify and extend them as your requirements change.
BENEFITS
- Totally customisable: All the control you need, none that you don’t
- Smaller footprint: Not all environments have room for multiple hardware panels
- Lower cost: Helm panels run on entry-level PCs, or even on mobile devices via WebCentre
- Faster training: Only one system to learn for new operators
- Enhanced productivity: Simpler interfaces mean operators can work faster and more effectively
- Extend and replace: You can add or change equipment in the facility without impacting operators.

Helm
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.

RouteMaster
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.
