BitLab Stage: Mixer Remote

BitLab Stage is a remote control for the equipment of a live show. Digital mixers, video switchers, show playback, wireless microphones and projectors come together in one app on your phone or tablet.

On the same network as the venue's gear, BitLab finds your equipment and puts it on one screen, so you can walk the room instead of standing behind the desk. It is made for sound engineers, video and AV technicians, theatres, venues, houses of worship and touring crews.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Mixers: channel strips, EQ, gate and compressor, sends for monitor mixes, routing, scenes and mute groups, with live metering
• Video: Program and Preview, Cut and Auto, keys, AUX outputs and macros on an ATEM; inputs, transitions, overlays and audio in vMix
• Projectors: power, input, shutter and lamp hours
• Wireless microphones: frequency, RF signal, audio level and battery
• Playback: fire QLab cues; run walk-in music from Spotify; step PowerPoint slides
• Several devices in one session, so a team can work one show together

• Show files you prepare at home and load at the venue

Software that runs on a computer, such as Spotify and PowerPoint, is reached through BitLab Bridge, a helper app for Mac and PC. BitLab is a remote for equipment you already own.

TRY IT WITHOUT HARDWARE

A Demo Console is built in: a virtual 32-channel digital mixer to explore and edit, with no hardware and no network.

ACCOUNTS AND PRICE

BitLab is free to download. You sign in with a BitLab account, and we open each new account by hand, so your first sign-in waits for our mail. Show files, your device library, discovery, sessions and the Demo Console are free. Live control of connected hardware and the advanced tools are part of a BitLab plan. There is nothing to buy inside the app.

WORKS OFFLINE

Once you have signed in, preparing a show and the Demo Console work with no connection. A BitLab plan needs to connect now and then, or the app falls back to the free features.

PERMISSIONS

• Local network: how BitLab finds and talks to your gear.
• Camera and microphone: optional, for remote assistance calls and for voice and measurement tools you start yourself. BitLab never records in the background.
• Biometrics: optional, to unlock your account.
• Nearby devices (Bluetooth): declared by the audio and MIDI components BitLab is built with. BitLab does not scan for Bluetooth devices and never asks you for this permission.
