Choose KD50B when

  • The show mainly uses ATEM and Companion.
  • Desk space and budget matter more than maximum control density.
  • The operator needs a compact surface for repeatable switching and macros.

Choose KD60A2 when

  • The same operator must control switching, macros, MIDI, and PTZ.
  • The production needs more direct buttons, knobs, and status feedback.
  • The workflow is complex enough that one larger control surface reduces mistakes.
