The All New Cloud Switcher Unveiled

Our philosophy for cloud products is simple: they should look, feel, and operate like real broadcast equipment.

With our Cloud Switcher, we aimed for a seamless user experience—so much so that a TD can sit down and start using it without any specialized training. This isn't just a web tool for low-stakes broadcasts; it's a professional-grade switcher designed for everything from fast-paced live events to straightforward graphic overlays. We built this solution because we saw a gap in the market, and we're thrilled to share it with you.

The Interface

Accessed via BitFire's FireBridge, the browser based access point to the BitFire Media Platform, the Cloud Switcher's interface features three distinct sections on a single pane of glass, enabling TDs to run an entire broadcast using only one consumer device.

Build Your Own Switcher in Inferno

In the same platform used to build and configure all your transport feeds, you can now customize and configure your Cloud Switcher. BitFire’s Inferno provides an intuitive platform where you can choose from templates or create your own cloud instance. There’s no cost to build and provision—only pay when you actually turn it on.

Use your own Hard Panel

We provide TDs with even greater flexibility through seamless integration with hard panels.
