LogicKeyboard Avid Media Composer ASTRA2 PC US

The LogicKeyboard Avid Media Composer ASTRA2 PC US is a full-size 108-key keyboard designed for Avid Media Composer users working on Windows systems. Its color-coded shortcut keys put commonly used editorial commands directly at the workstation, giving editors a faster visual reference while moving through timeline, playback, trimming, and other post-production tasks.

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

Why It Helps

Avid Media Composer operators rely on keyboard commands throughout a normal edit, especially when moving through timelines, trimming material, controlling playback, and repeating common editorial functions. The color-coded layout keeps those commands visible at the desk and makes them easier to identify without interrupting the session to search through software menus.

The five-level backlight is practical in edit rooms where ambient lighting changes during the day. Operators can increase the white illumination when more visibility is needed or reduce it for darker monitoring environments without losing sight of the shortcut legends.

The full function row and numeric keypad keep the standard controls expected from a complete workstation keyboard, while the integrated USB port provides another connection point directly at the desk. With a fixed USB-A connection and plug-and-play operation, the ASTRA 2 fits naturally into permanent Windows-based Avid edit bays.
