What it does

The standard open-source shotbox for production gear, and a common trigger point for automations.

How to set it up

  1. Download Companion from bitfocus.io/companion (user guide at companion.free).
  2. Add connections for your gear (700+ modules) and build button pages.
  3. Use Triggers and OSC/HTTP remote control so other systems, including agents, can press buttons.
