Integrating Bitfocus Companion with your Resi decoder offers a streamlined way to control live production gear with ease, enhancing both your live worship experience and church services. This setup allows you to automate and centralize controls, making live streaming and in-person events more efficient and seamless. Here’s how to use it effectively.

Getting your Resi decoder up and running with Bitfocus Companion is simple and intuitive. Start by adding your Resi decoder in the Companion interface. With just the IP address and a custom name, your decoder will be ready to go. The beauty of this integration is the ability to map Rosstalk commands like play, pause, fade to black, and fade from black directly to the Stream Deck interface, so your team has complete control at their fingertips.

Once set up, you can customize your Stream Deck with color-coded buttons to help operators quickly identify different commands. For example, you can trigger play/pause or fade to black with ease, simplifying the transition between video content during your services. The best part is that you can couple commands together—like pausing and fading to black in one step—creating a smooth and efficient workflow for your volunteers.

By coupling these commands, you can ensure a seamless flow between live events. For example, pause and fade to black can be triggered at the end of a message, while play and fade from black can bring things back smoothly at the start of the next part of your service. Whether you’re working with a multi-site setup or live streaming, this integration helps create a polished, professional experience for both your local and online congregation.
