companion VS Sweep

Or use Companion to control the Hyper Decks/ Ki Pros….

Still interested in other solutions, particularly a built-in function. I found this feature request on the Companion Github page. I'm not sure though if that is talking about using Companion buttons to trigger hotkeys, or the other way around (as the 2 linked issues seem to be about).

We use Companion on every show—can’t remember how I did one without it. As long as the gear you are using is supported, you can’t go wrong. Very easy to setup and use. Highly recommended.

Can probably do this with Companion. Often used with stream deck but works with a phone too afaik.

Companion is a great way to approach complex macros like these. Basically you'd stack several actions to your one button, like this:

I use a Stream Deck daily to control AV production gear using BitFocus Companion (https://bitfocus.io/companion). I am constantly surprised at the range of supported equipment.

Complex operations that used to take three people can be done by a single person.

For a basic example:

Audio operator fades out background music and brings up video playback audio channels

https://bitfocus.io/companion and a StreamDeck would be a fast/cheap solution. Integrates directly with ETC console so you can use tge existing cues and patching.

Good for macros and help making complex things easier with ATEM https://bitfocus.io/companion

Sweep is a 34-key split PCB design that you can print and assemble yourself.

Happy user for over 3 years.

Please also consider Ferris Sweep: https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep

there is the sweep (https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep). Also there are some sweep variants with 36 keys (https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36)

Hi guys, still did unable to connect any of the slaves. Tried kmk but no luck as well. In the meanwhile i checked again continuity, which is working for all of the pins (in the TRRS) and also found the schematics for my board if that helps: https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep/blob/main/schematic.pdf

The ferris sweep has an mx spacing variant. [https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep]

ferris sweep

Personally I use ferris sweep and I just hold left thumb button to have arrows on right hand and I use them for neovim and helix. Nevertheless you should prioritize minimalising Same Finger Usage (SFI) and comfort, they are most important for speed and to minimize mistakes. Bare minimum, I would remap j to up and k do down, but you can also remap helix function of unei to places of hjkl and think for yourself how would you like to have them placed.
