Who we are

Bitfocus AS is an innovative company, founded in 2017 in Oslo, but born from the real-world demands of the production floor. We are dedicated to dramatically improving workflows across the AV and broadcast industries by challenging the traditional, proprietary systems that dominate the sector.

Our core philosophy is simple: vendors should collaborate, not compete. That belief drives our development, resulting in applications that prioritise efficiency and intuition, so users master our software quickly without extensive training. Built on over 100 years of combined AV and broadcast production experience, our solutions integrate with both legacy systems and modern IP-based infrastructures.

What we make

Open source

Companion

Our journey began with Bitfocus Companion, a pioneering open-source tool that redefined workflow integration. Its modular architecture and deep commitment to the community made it the globally adopted standard for controlling a vast range of equipment.

With over 300,000 users worldwide, Companion is arguably the most widely used open-source control application in its sector, and it thrives as an autonomous, community-driven initiative. Bitfocus supports that ecosystem by contributing resources and by always giving the connection library built for our commercial products back to it.

Commercial

Buttons

Buttons is the next step in that journey: a commercial platform engineered for users who demand reliability, speed and a dedicated roadmap, scaling from individual freelancers to enterprise installations.

Where Companion excels at integration, Buttons focuses on production-grade scale. It turns programming time from hours into minutes through Repeaters, graph-based logic, Workflows, routing presets, patchable connections, cue lists and native NMOS routing — backed by a full-time development team, commercial support, and a free tier for small setups.
