Already a CrewAxis subscriber? Your plan may include a paid edition of Broadcast Monitor at no additional cost. See your subscriber benefit before purchasing.

Version 0.9.x is BETA. Licenses purchased for these beta versions will also work in the 1.x release versions. You will not need to buy another license simply to move from the beta to 1.x.

Introductory pricing is available through November 30, 2026. On December 1, 2026, Express increases from $39 to $79 USD and Professional increases from $99 to $299 USD. That is a $40 saving on Express or a $200 saving on Professional compared with the announced December prices.

Which edition fits your production?

Choose Free to get started.

Use picture monitoring and exposure aids, explore the generated color bars, and get comfortable with the workspace.

Choose Express for everyday signal checks.

If your main questions are exposure, camera matching, color, and audio levels, Express brings the core measurement views together at an approachable price.

Choose Professional for a broader workflow.

If you need hardware output, video-file playback, additional analysis modes, or audio spectrum analysis, Professional is the edition built for that next step.

Questions before you buy.

What does BETA mean?

The 0.9.x series is a prerelease version. The product is still being refined, and behavior may change as it moves toward 1.x.

Will my beta license work after 1.0?

Yes. Licenses purchased for the beta versions will work in the 1.x release versions. That makes the introductory offer especially compelling: get started now and carry your license into the release series.

Where do I buy a license?

Visit the DJP software page to purchase Express or Professional.

Do I need capture hardware to explore it?

No. The generated color-bars input lets you explore without capture hardware. Live input and hardware output require compatible sources, devices, and drivers.

Get the beta price. Keep the license for 1.x.

Express: $39 USD now, $79 USD from December 1, 2026.
Professional: $99 USD now, $299 USD from December 1, 2026.
