Who is Bitfocus

Why Bitfocus
Unmatched Integration Ecosystem
Companion supports over 250 devices and protocols, including Blackmagic ATEM, vMix, TriCaster, Q-SYS, Ross, OBS, and more. Its plugin-based structure lets AV teams build a control layer that speaks the language of their entire system, regardless of brand.
Custom Control Without Code
Bitfocus enables deep automation with minimal complexity. Users can assign multi-step macros, timed triggers, and visual feedback to Stream Deck buttons without writing custom code. This makes it easy to scale from simple single-room installs to full-scale control rooms.
Designed for Speed and Repeatability
Whether you’re firing off a complex preset sequence or just switching cameras, Companion allows you to execute with speed and precision. This makes it ideal for high-pressure environments like live broadcasts, board meetings, and stage productions where every second counts.
Community-Driven and Installer-Friendly
Bitfocus Companion is open-source at its core and supported by a global community of AV pros and developers. Integrators can rely on regular updates, peer-shared workflows, and flexible deployment options — making it a versatile and future-ready tool.
