OFFBIT is the companion app for the M1, the e-ink display that puts your lens data, crew list and notes right on the camera. Prepare everything on your phone, even offline. When the M1 connects, one tap sends it across. LENS - 2,500+ lenses from every major brand: pick a brand and series, and the M1 shows focal length, T-stop and close focus. - Add your own custom sets in seconds and keep them across every M1. - Save setups as presets and load them again on any unit. CREW - Build the crew list by department, with names and roles that fit the M1 screen. - Scan a call sheet PDF and every name lands in its department. You review everything before it's added. - Reorder, group and edit in seconds. NOTES - Your notebook on the M1: shot notes, walkie channels, the day's plan. - Scan a shooting schedule and keep only what camera needs, one heading per shot. PATCH - Turn any logo or image into a crisp bitmap for the M1 screen, with contrast and framing controls. - Keep a library of up to 25 patches on each unit. DEVICES - Pair every M1 on your set, name it and give it a colour. - Firmware updates straight from the app, over Bluetooth. PRIVACY - No account. Your content stays on your phone and your M1. - Document scanning can run in the cloud for better results, only with your permission, and you can turn it off at any time. Requires an OFFBIT M1 device.
