Bitfocus AS
Streamlining Complexity for AV and Broadcast Professionals
Founded in 2018, Bitfocus is a Norwegian-based company dedicated to empowering professionals and enthusiasts in the AV and broadcast industries. We specialize in creating powerful, user-friendly control systems that simplify complex workflows and put the focus back on creativity and execution.
At the heart of our company is a deep commitment to the open-source community. Our journey began with the development of Companion, a widely adopted and community-supported software that allows for seamless integration and control of a vast range of equipment. This collaborative spirit continues to drive our innovation and ensures our solutions are robust, flexible, and tailored to the real-world needs of our users.
The year 2024 marked a significant milestone for Bitfocus, as we secured new funding to accelerate our growth and expand our offerings. This investment is fueling the development of our next-generation commercial software, Buttons, designed to meet the demands of the most complex production environments. Buttons builds on the foundation of Companion, offering enhanced features and dedicated support for enterprise-level applications.
Our team is comprised of passionate problem-solvers and industry experts. Among them is Per Røine, an industry veteran with three decades of hands-on experience and a profound knowledge of control systems. Per's expertise is emblematic of the deep technical know-how that underpins our entire organization.
Whether you are a seasoned broadcast engineer or a passionate AV enthusiast, Bitfocus is your partner in achieving seamless and powerful control. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible, delivering innovative solutions that are both powerful and intuitive.
