Companion
Versatile shotbox for everybody
Companion elevates the affordable Elgato Stream Deck and similar devices into professional control surfaces for an extensive range of equipment and applications. From presentation switchers and broadcast equipment to video playback software and home automation systems, Companion delivers studio-grade control, putting powerful workflows right at your fingertips.
You don't need an actual stream deck to use it. Companion both comes with a builtin stream deck emulator, a webpage for touch screens and the ability to trigger buttons via OSC, TCP, UDP, HTTP, WebSocket and ArtNet. It does the same job, just without the buttons.
