Bitfocus Companion can be linked to the Elgato Stream Deck to act as a professional switchboard console with preset and custom button configurations. Companion can also be used independently from a Stream Deck surface via web buttons in any browser, tablet, or mobile device on the same network as your Companion application.
Remote Control Set Up
We recommend relaunching if you already have Companion open. You should only need to close your browser windows. All of your sources and work within the Button Configuration Board will be saved.
1. Within the small control window, please select your local network (wired or wireless) in the dropdown menu, under GUI Interface . Then click Launch GUI.
2. Bitfocus Companion Admin will open in your Default Browser. Please open the Configuration Wizard if it does not open automatically.
3. Choose TCP Raw Socket in the Remote Control Services window.
4. Click Next until you reach the Review Settings window. Ensure your changes are bulleted and Apply and Finish.
5. Enter the IP address for the controller on your mobile device which you can find by choosing the Emulator, Web Buttons, Mobile Buttons, and New Web/Mobile buttons. Each will provide a slightly different display. Make sure to send the IP of your desired view.
Your Bitfocus Companion project should now display in the browser of your remote device. Find the Full Screen option and Settings at the top of the screen to adjust your view.
For additional information on Web and Mobile buttons or remote Control, please refer to the Bitfocus Companion Documentation.
