LogicKeyboard Avid Media Composer ASTRA2 MAC US

The LogicKeyboard Avid Media Composer ASTRA2 MAC US is a 104-key editing keyboard designed for Avid Media Composer users working on macOS systems. Color-coded shortcut keys place commonly used Avid commands directly at the workstation, giving editors and post-production operators a faster visual reference while moving through everyday editorial tasks.

The ASTRA 2 uses scissor-switch keys and includes a full function-key row, numeric keypad, and five levels of white backlighting. Its fixed USB-A connection provides straightforward plug-and-play operation, while an integrated USB 3.2 Gen 1 port adds an accessible connection point for compatible workstation peripherals.

Why It Helps

Avid Media Composer operators work through a large number of repeated keyboard commands during an edit. The color-coded layout keeps those functions visible at the desk, making it easier to identify commands quickly without interrupting the session to search through software menus.

The five-level backlight is useful in edit rooms where ambient lighting can change throughout the day. Operators can adjust the white illumination to keep the key legends readable in brighter work areas or reduce it for darker monitoring environments.

The full function row and numeric keypad preserve the controls expected from a complete workstation keyboard, while the integrated USB port adds a convenient connection point directly at the desk. With a fixed USB-A connection and plug-and-play operation, the ASTRA 2 is straightforward to deploy in permanent Mac-based edit bays.
