Imagine has unveiled Magellan PanelFlex, the next generation of operator-focused, freeform control surfaces for the company’s Magellan Control System.
According to the company, the Magellan PanelFlex adds a full ecosystem of advanced capabilities, including Magellan PanelFlex-Canvas—a panel design environment that allows engineering users to build the exact flow of control and information for each operating position.
The Magellan PanelFlex real-time engine drives these canvases to operators through HTML5 web panels, dynamic integration onto multiviewer surfaces, and familiar physical panels.
In keeping with Imagine’s commitment to open interfaces and protocols, Magellan PanelFlex-AI organises and curates all key system information into an agentic-enabling Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface, allowing AI systems to quickly follow and act upon status and information from the live system, added the company.
“Our mission with Magellan PanelFlex is to put operators in full control and simplify the live event production process,” said Adeel Ahmed, senior product manager, Magellan Control System, at Imagine Communications. “From reassigning name sets to reconfiguring buttons on individual control surfaces, everything is just a click away—so the show goes faster and smoother.”
