VMC12 RACK: The 1U vMix Command Center

The Ultimate Space-Saving Control Solution for vMix Flypacks and Mobile Production

The Switchblade VMC12 RACK is a professional-grade, all-in-one rackmount control surface designed specifically for the rigors of live production. Occupying only 1U of rack space, this versatile unit combines a high-definition 17.3” flip-up monitor, a tactile vMix switcher interface, a full keyboard, and integrated PTZ camera control.

Whether you are building a compact flypack or upgrading a permanent broadcast rack, the VMC12 RACK eliminates the “cable nest” of separate peripherals, providing a streamlined, professional interface for your vMix workflow.

Tactile Precision for Live Switching

Keyboards and mouse clicks are no substitute for the reliability of physical buttons during a live broadcast. The VMC12 RACK features:

12-Channel Switching: Dedicated Preview and Program rows for fast transitions.
Precision T-Bar: Smooth, manual control over wipes and fades.
Transition Control: Five dedicated transition buttons plus Auto and Take for rapid-fire switching.
Audio & Stream Management: Dedicated knobs for audio levels and physical buttons for Record and Stream status, ensuring you never have to hunt through menus during a high-stakes production.

Integrated PTZ & System Control

Take command of your environment without reaching for a second controller. The VMC12 RACK includes a dedicated PTZ control section with a mini joystick, allowing you to pan, tilt, and zoom your cameras directly from the console. Right above the switcher surface is a slim, mechanical keyboard and two-button touchpad for more detailed vMix configuration and Windows navigation.

Broadcast Monitoring

The heart of the VMC12 RACK is its brilliant 17.3” Full HD (1920×1080) LED-backlit monitor. Designed for color accuracy and wide viewing angles, it provides a perfect multiview, program output or primary GUI display. When the production is over, the monitor folds flat, and the entire unit slides into the rack like a standard drawer, protecting the screen and controls during transport.

Built for the Switchblade Ecosystem

While the VMC12 RACK works with any vMix-based PC via a simple USB and video connection, it is the perfect companion for the Switchblade LPU Series. Pair it with an LPU2 or LPU4 to create a complete, high-performance 4K production studio in just 3U or 5U of rack space.
