Elgato, a brand of CORSAIR (NASDAQ: CRSR), a leading global provider and innovator of high-performance products for gamers, streamers, content-creators, and gaming PC builders, today announced the launch of Stream Deck Studio, bringing its highly popular and commercially successful Stream Deck to professional broadcasters. Developed in collaboration with Bitfocus, pioneers in professional broadcast software, Stream Deck Studio is positioned to redefine how professional broadcasters interact with their tools. The hyper customizable Stream Deck Studio was designed with a sleek 19-inch console with 32 customizable LCD keys and two customizable rotary dials, and slots seamlessly into universal studio racks.

Elgato launched Stream Deck in 2017 to simplify content creator workflows. Bitfocus subsequently developed Companion, custom software that repurposed Stream Deck for use in traditional broadcast settings, validating potential market demand for Stream Deck Studio, an even more tailored, co-developed solution.

"Stream Deck has been a home run for Elgato with its intuitive, customizable interface,” said Julian Fest, General Manager of Elgato. “Our growing relationship with Bitfocus was key in developing Stream Deck Studio solution, which we expect to receive a very strong market reception as we continue to expand our addressable market with an accessible, groundbreaking, solution for the ever-demanding professional broadcast environment.”

Stream Deck Studio will run on Bitfocus' acclaimed Companion software. However, the developer's latest software, Buttons, offers a superior user experience with advanced functionalities built especially for Stream Deck Studio. The interface is fully customizable through the software, allowing users to define layouts with personalized icons and text labels for quick identification, making navigation fast and intuitive. The software integration also enables instant visual feedback on the device’s LCD keys, confirming actions and system statuses in real-time. In addition, the two rotary LED encoders enable quick navigation and dynamic control. An onboard RFID/NFC reader works in conjunction with the software to manage user authentication and permission-based access control. For larger systems that require even more control, multiple Stream Deck Studio devices can be linked and configured in Buttons to function as a unified control surface.

"Stream Deck Studio and Buttons completely streamline the way broadcast systems operate," said Bitfocus CTO William Viker. "The flexibility of Buttons paired with the intuitive interface of Stream Deck Studio allows users to quickly and easily route signals without the need for physical cable switching. This not only reduces errors but also significantly cuts down on the time required for setup and adjustments. Operators and technicians can now focus on creative problem-solving and high production quality.”

Stream Deck Studio and Buttons represent a significant leap in broadcast control technology, offering several advantages over competing systems. Complete customizability allows operators to tailor the interface to their specific workflows, while an intuitive design reduces the learning curve for new users. Support for legacy and modern protocols ensures seamless operation across diverse broadcast environments, and smooth scalability allows for evolving and growing production needs. Additional third-party software integrations are planned, notably one with Nevion’s VideoIPath, which will turn Stream Deck Studio into a dedicated console for users of the leading media orchestration platform.

Stream Deck Studio is available for direct purchase from the Elgato webstore for $899.99.
