Arkona technologies has integrated its Blade//runner AT300 platform with Bitfocus Buttons to enable physical control of routing, monitoring, and hardware status. The integration supports SMPTE ST 2110 and SDI workflows, providing operators with autodiscovery and preconfigured templates for broadcast production environments.
This integration addresses the operational complexity of managing high-density IP media processing by providing a tactile interface for the Blade//runner AT300. By moving beyond basic interoperability to include autodiscovery and preset templates, Arkona and Bitfocus are lowering the technical barrier for non-engineers to manage sophisticated SMPTE ST 2110 environments. In the broader ecosystem, this move signals a shift toward unified control layers that bridge the gap between legacy SDI and modern IP infrastructure. Watch for future releases to include expanded tally and virtual routing features as Bitfocus positions its platform as a comprehensive Broadcast Control System.
Arkona has integrated its Blade//runner AT300 platform with Bitfocus Buttons, introducing native hardware control for broadcast operators. This update allows users to manage internal routing, monitor system metrics like PTP lock status, and control third-party devices. By simplifying complex IP media processing, this integration lowers technical barriers for managing modern broadcast environments.
The integration enables broadcast operators to manage internal blade routing, monitor hardware metrics like PTP lock status, and control third-party devices using a physical button interface.
The integration supports both SMPTE ST 2110 and SDI workflows through preconfigured templates and source autodiscovery.
Operators can monitor real-time hardware status, including CPU usage, power supply voltage, and system uptime, directly on the Bitfocus interface.
Users must have Bitfocus Buttons version 1.8.2 or later to access the native arkona module and its autopopulation features.
