Easy-deploy talkback, and simpler control of the kit you already own.

PatchTalk is our first tool, now in design. Monitoring and control for Blackmagic Design gear is next, with more to follow.

  • Bring your own headset

    Any USB or Bluetooth headset works, with boom-arm mute on compatible models.

  • Local-first

    A venue master keeps talkback running with no internet.

  • Reach everyone

    A cloud bridge connects offsite crew to the same channels.

  • Holds up on weak networks

    Low-bandwidth audio with automatic reconnect.

Control

Blackmagic monitoring & control

Coming next

Bring every Blackmagic Design device on your network under one control layer. Switch, route, record and monitor without walking to the rack.

  • Control

    Cut, transition and fire macros on ATEM switchers; route Videohub crosspoints; drive camera control, all from one surface.

  • Record

    Start, stop and name recordings across every HyperDeck and ATEM at once, so ISOs and backups always roll together.

  • Monitor

    Live device state in one view: what’s on program, what’s recording, how much disk is left, and what’s gone offline.

  • Integrate

    Bitfocus Companion and Stream Deck modules out of the box, plus an HTTP/WebSocket API for your own tooling.
