Bitfocus Companion

Andrew Broughton will show us the power of Companion, what he has done with his Companion module, and how he uses it with mixers. We'll look at the benefits of version 3 and have a vigorous discussion with the panel. 4 42 Offset 00:00 Start 01:00:21 **** Bitfocus Companion **** 01:14:39 Could you explain how the HTTP request works? I'd like to use Companion to send data information to vMix. 01:16:49 I constantly use Triggers in my work flow. one trigger might have 5 different items to launch and actually launch 4/5 of them. What might cause this? 01:19:23 Anyone found a way to load ATEM Mini Settings by pressing one button? Right now I need to manually load Media Player files each time after reboot as ATEM Startup State does not safe the media. Possible with Companion? If yes, how?!? Thanks, Michael 01:20:08 should a stream deck be plugged into the same computer Bitfocus is running on? 01:22:26 I have had quite a bit of trouble using the companion module for ETC EOS lighting consoles. What do people do when modules don’t work for you and the developers are not responsive? 01:23:51 Does anyone here use Companion for Pi to IP-enable a Streamdeck? 01:25:11 What would be the steps I should take if I want to improve or create a new Companion instance? The one for my mixer is really basic and I'd like more functionality. 01:27:11 I want to start using Companion Satellite, what advice do you have for getting that set up between my production gear and my remote location for full control of the gear? 01:28:03 Companion Triggers: if I have multiple "Conditions", are these AND or OR connected? Does the trigger runs only if both conditions are true or is matching one condition starting the trigger? Same question for Events, AND or OR? Happy XMAS, Michael 01:29:31 Can Companion work with the Stream Deck mobile app? 01:29:59 Can Andy B's Yamaha module let you set a target input gain level on a mic input channel? 01:31:56 What are the port requirements using Satellite? I have two computers on two VLANs at work and cant get Satellite to work. Telneting to the host computer on the associated port works, so it isnt firewalled... 01:33:05 What are the reasons to "graduate" from the hybrid use of Companion inside of the Stream Deck to migrating to native Companion support? 01:34:46 Has anyone been able to control the sidus link from aputure Lights? I have a couple of lights that only control through the app 01:35:43 What protocols can Companion take advantage of? What are some ways to control devices for which there are no integrations available presently? 01:40:29 Any panelist tried other controllers other than stream deck for companion? 01:41:56 What are the enhancements and new capabilities of Companion v3 from v2? Is version 3 backwards compatible? 01:43:02 Do you think we've crossed a threshold with Companion where we are adding capabilities to equipment that they didn't already have versus just controlling what is already there? 01:51:02 Has anyone given a Stream Deck with Companion to a client rep or third-party event manager during a production? If so, what controls have you given them? Seems like a good way to 'give them something to do.' 01:53:20 What Yamaha mixer are you demoing with? And what do you consider to be an old Yamaha mixer that can still benefit from companion? Are there any other brands you are willing to recommend? 01:55:15 How complete is the Stream Deck + control integration 01:56:08 I'm using companion and Vicreo to toggle dual monitors in zoom meetings via a global keyboard shortcut. It usually doesn't work until I have used the menu to set it the first time. Any ideas why? 01:57:25 Are there any conversion helpers (tool or process) to take my 70+ button actions in my Stream Decks to do equiv in Companion? 01:58:31 Could you send the link to the Slack group to Discord, please!
