Bitfocus
Category IP Broadcast Solutions - Production
Bitfocus Buttons is an advanced control and monitoring platform that simplifies complex media operations across broadcast, live production, AV, and installation environments. It replaces fragmented, proprietary control systems with a unified, scalable solution that integrates more than 700 professional devices and applications into a single, intuitive interface.
Developed by the creators of the open-source Companion project, Buttons builds on that foundation with an enterprise-grade framework offering resilience, scalability, and security. It enables operators to manage complex workflows through user-configurable control panels without any programming knowledge, streamlining setup and operation across any environment.
The platform is built for flexibility, running on Mac, Windows, or as virtual machines, and scaling effortlessly through Kubernetes for enterprise-wide implementations. Single sign-on, PIN and RFID authentication deliver robust security without compromising usability.
Native NMOS support (ST 2110 and IPMX) makes Buttons fully IP-ready, enabling seamless routing across traditional SDI and next-generation IP infrastructures. Features such as the Automatic XY Routing Crosspoint Module and multi-position handling allow multiple operators to manage independent configurations securely and efficiently.
By combining open integration, security, and simplicity, Buttons transforms control system management - empowering professionals to work more efficiently and creatively across connected media environments.
