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, to create better solutions for everyone. This belief drives our development, resulting in applications that prioritize Hyper-Efficiency and intuition, allowing users to master our software quickly without extensive training. Built upon over 100 years of combined AV and broadcast production experience within the Bitfocus team, our solutions are highly adaptable, integrating seamlessly with both legacy systems and modern IP-based infrastructures. We are committed to leading the way with forward-thinking solutions.
Bitfocus Open Source Initiatives
Our journey began with Bitfocus Companion, a pioneering open-source tool that fundamentally redefined workflow integration. It simplified control across the AV and broadcast industries, thanks to its modular architecture and a deep commitment to the community. This collaborative approach has made Companion the globally adopted standard for seamlessly 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. It thrives as an autonomous, community-driven initiative. Bitfocus proudly supports this crucial ecosystem by contributing resources and, most importantly, by ensuring that the powerful connection library developed for our commercial products is always contributed back. This commitment keeps Companion integrated, cutting-edge, and relevant for years to come.
Bitfocus Commercial Products
Bitfocus Buttons is the next major step in our journey—a commercial platform engineered from the ground up for users who demand unmatched reliability, speed, and a dedicated roadmap. Buttons is designed to address the critical needs of professional setups, scaling perfectly from individual freelancers to massive enterprise installations.
While Companion excels at integration, Buttons focuses on Production-Grade Scale and Efficiency. It transforms programming time from hours into minutes through a suite of advanced features. Users gain productivity instantly with smart tools like Repeaters and the power to design complex workflows using visual Graph-Based Logic. Moving beyond simple button presses, Buttons offers more complete production suite via Workflows, Routing presets, dynamic button and menu structure programming, patchable connections, cue lists, native NMOS routing.
Backed by a full-time development team and guaranteed commercial support, Buttons offers a powerful free tier for small setups, delivering the accountability and power required for any project size.
