Adapted from PIXELHUE product materials The PIXELHUE U5 Mini Fader is an ultra-compact event controller designed to provide intuitive, accurate, and highly customizable control for small and midsize productions. Its modular layout, dual LCD displays, tactile mechanical buttons, and dedicated fader give operators immediate access to screens, layers, inputs, presets, and transition functions. Lightweight construction allows the controller to travel easily and deploy within minutes, while its fanless design supports completely silent operation. The U5 Mini Fader integrates with PixelFlow, compatible PIXELHUE switchers, and Companion-supported third-party equipment, providing a centralized control platform without the size or complexity of a full-scale event console. Key Features Dedicated transition fader for fast, precise control Slim, ultra-compact controller design Two 7-inch LCD displays with 1424 × 280 resolution Dynamic one-to-one mapping between display labels and physical controls 66 function-labeled mechanical buttons Customizable short-press, long-press, and key-combination functions Three-color illuminated buttons for immediate status visibility Clean, error-resistant control layout Direct control of screens, layers, sources, presets, galleries, and backgrounds Take, Cut, fade-in, and fade-out transition control Save, overwrite, delete, store, read, and recall presets Compatible with PIXELHUE presentation switchers PixelFlow synchronization and automatic LAN discovery Built-in Companion integration for supported third-party equipment Dual Ethernet connections for network redundancy PoE+, USB-C PD 3.0, and 12V DC power support Automatic power-source prioritization when multiple supplies are connected USB 3.0 connection for logs, system recovery, storage, or a gooseneck lamp Fanless operation with a rated noise level of 0 dB Maximum power consumption of 25 watts Net weight of approximately 2.3 kg, or 5.1 lb Dimensions: 380 × 217 × 62 mm, or approximately 15 × 8.5 × 2.4 inches PIXELHUE lists the front-panel buttons and rear-panel connectors as identical across the Fader and T-Bar models.

Professional Event Control That Fits in Your Backpack

The PIXELHUE U5 Mini Fader delivers a professional physical control surface for live-event operators who need speed, flexibility, and a smaller production footprint.

Its streamlined fader-based layout provides direct transition control while keeping the console exceptionally compact. Operators can manage screens, layers, sources, presets, backgrounds, galleries, and transitions using tactile mechanical controls rather than relying entirely on a computer or touchscreen.

Two 7-inch LCD displays dynamically identify button functions, creating a direct visual relationship between each label and its corresponding physical control. The result is a cleaner, faster workflow that helps operators stay oriented during high-pressure productions.

The U5 Mini Fader is designed for quick deployment in corporate AV, touring, streaming, mobile production, rental inventory, and compact control-room environments. It weighs approximately 2.3 kg and measures only 62 mm high, making it the slimmer of the two U5 Mini models.

Small console, serious control. No unnecessary real estate, no tiny desk annex required.

Centralized Control for Modern Productions

The U5 Mini Fader works directly with PIXELHUE PixelFlow and compatible PIXELHUE presentation switchers. It can automatically discover equipment on the same LAN, synchronize operations with a PixelFlow computer, and reconnect to a previously selected switcher during startup.

Built-in Companion support expands the controller beyond the PIXELHUE ecosystem by allowing supported third-party devices to be incorporated into customized macros and centralized control workflows.

Flexible PoE+, USB-C, and DC power options, along with redundant Ethernet connectivity, make the U5 Mini easier to integrate into both permanent systems and rapidly deployed mobile rigs.
