Magewell Control Hub Lite centralises management of up to twenty Magewell IP devices. Installed on a Windows, macOS or Linux host, it opens a browser‑based dashboard where Ultra Stream and Ultra Encode encoders, Pro Convert NDI encoders/decoders, the Pro Convert Audio DX IP audio converter and the USB Fusion capture/mixing unit appear as manageable entries. Each record shows firmware and network status, and technicians can adjust settings, reboot or trigger start/stop commands from afar. Live video previews are embedded in the interface, so engineers can check framing and signal quality without logging into each device.
The intuitive interface is built for busy control rooms. Colour‑coded status indicators highlight issues, and batch tools apply bitrate or resolution changes across multiple encoders. A Lite licence governs twenty devices; extra licences can be stacked. Although stream conversion is reserved for the Basic, Plus and Pro tiers, Lite users still benefit from remote previews and can organise devices by project. User roles restrict access and each device entry stores IP addresses and protocol profiles for quick troubleshooting.
Control Hub Lite suits dispersed production environments: a regional broadcaster can monitor classrooms and council chambers from a single browser tab, adjusting encoding parameters on the fly; sports producers can oversee field units from the studio; AV integrators can roll out firmware updates to clusters of Pro Convert decoders without visiting remote sites. Previews use RTMP, RTSP and SRT, ensuring compatibility with existing IP networks and secure VPNs. The software runs in a Docker container on a local server or cloud VPS, giving technicians secure access from anywhere.
By consolidating device management into one interface, Control Hub Lite saves time and reduces errors for broadcasters, streaming platforms and corporate AV teams. Engineers no longer juggle multiple device GUIs or travel to remote locations; everything is handled from a single window. When requirements grow, the interface can be upgraded to Basic, Plus or Pro versions to add stream conversion and more channels without retraining staff. Combined with broad hardware compatibility and a practical licence model, this software is a sensible investment for professional studios seeking efficient remote administration.

Control Hub
Centralized Management Software for Devices and Streams
The successor to the former Magewell Cloud platform, the new Control Hub features an enhanced device management interface and expanded stream conversion capabilities.
One Management Platform for all Magewell IP Devices
The Control Hub software supports Magewell hardware products including Ultra Stream and Ultra Encode live media encoders; Pro Convert NDI® encoders and decoders; the Pro Convert Audio DX IP audio converter; and the USB Fusion capture and mixing device. Users can remotely configure device parameters, trigger operational functions and upgrade the firmware of multiple devices in batches.
Intuitive and Efficient Browser-based Interface
Control Hub’s intuitive, redesigned dashboard makes it easy for users to see the status of their devices and deployments at a glance. Video from remote Ultra Stream, Ultra Encode and USB Fusion units can be previewed directly in the Control Hub interface without needing to open the individual device's interface panel.
Easy Stream Conversion Capabilities
Control Hub can convert between multiple streaming protocols with an exceptionally flexible stream routing architecture. Users can easily define 'channels' that map an input to one or more output protocols and destinations. Control Hub converts between RTMP, SRT (in caller or listener mode), RTSP and transport streams (delivered over UDP or RTP).
Choose the Version That’s Right for You
Control Hub can be purchased in three full versions (Basic, Plus or Pro) to meet your specific needs for the number of managed devices, stream conversion channels, and stream conversion outputs. A Lite version is also available for customers requiring device management but who do not need stream conversion. Multiple Control Hub Lite licenses can be combined to manage a greater number of devices (in increments of 20).
