Why Virtual Video Director?
Virtual Video Director is the most advanced automated camera switching platform available. Built on six years of real-world broadcast deployment, VVD 6.0 uses an on-device neural network to detect who is speaking and switch cameras with the precision and instinct of an experienced human director.
Unlike threshold-based solutions, VVD requires zero audio calibration. Its proprietary ballistic algorithm analyses relative signal differences in real time, automatically adapting to any voice, any microphone, and any room — no manual tweaking required.
Key capabilities of VVD 6.0:
- Trigger up to 8 devices simultaneously with cascading delays for seamless multi-PTZ workflows
- Control cameras, lighting, and routing via VISCA, Art-Net, OSC, MIDI, NDI, HTTP, TCP, UDP, and custom scripts
- Write automation in plain English with Super Triggers — VVD converts your instructions into executable code
- Mix and match audio sources from ASIO, WASAPI, NDI, Dante, Wheatstone, ClearOne, and Allen & Heath simultaneously
- Scale from a 4-mic podcast to a 128-channel parliament with the same software
- Integrate with professional broadcast infrastructure including Lawo VSM, Pathfinder Core Pro, and Skaarhoj controllers
VVD is trusted by radio stations, TV networks, podcast studios, and government organisations worldwide, and is available in 14+ languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.

Central Control
Radio
Add broadcast-quality video to your radio shows without hiring a camera operator. VVD connects directly to your existing audio infrastructure via Dante, Wheatstone, or ASIO and switches cameras automatically as presenters speak. Ideal for simulcast, web streams, and platform content.
Television
Automate camera switching for news desks, panel discussions, and interview formats. VVD handles multi-camera switching with 20ms response times across up to 128 channels, freeing your production team to focus on graphics, rundowns, and keeping the show on air.
Podcast
Produce multi-camera podcast and YouTube content without a dedicated switcher. Plug in your USB or ASIO audio interface, point your cameras, and VVD handles the rest. Start with a Lite license from just $69 and scale up as your show grows.
No Gain No Pain
VVD uses a proprietary ballistic algorithm that analyses relative differences between all audio signals in real time. It identifies who is speaking regardless of volume, distance from the mic, or gain settings. Unlike threshold-based solutions, VVD requires zero audio calibration — it automatically adapts to any voice, any microphone, and any room. Combined with on-device neural network voice activity detection, it distinguishes speech from background noise without any cloud dependency.
Personality to match yours
Choose from multiple switching personalities that control how aggressively VVD responds to audio changes. In Grandpa mode, it ignores coughs, sneezes, and brief interruptions for a calm, deliberate pace. Pro mode delivers fast, confident cuts balanced against false positives. Each personality adjusts the ballistic algorithm's sensitivity, response timing, and switching thresholds — letting you dial in the exact feel your production needs without touching a single audio setting.
May the fuzz be with you
VVD's fuzzy logic engine tracks every channel's state and history to make switching decisions the way an experienced human director would. When one camera has been active too long, it can cut to a reaction shot or a wide angle — even when no one else is speaking. It monitors speaker position, audio patterns, and channel activity over time to produce cuts that feel natural and intentional. Every parameter is fully customizable, giving you complete control over the switching behaviour for any type of production.
More triggers than a woke teen
Trigger up to eight independent devices simultaneously across 30+ protocols — including VISCA and Panasonic PTZ cameras, Art-Net lighting, OSC, MIDI, HTTP, TCP, UDP, OBS Studio, and custom PowerShell or JavaScript scripts. Cascading delays let you stagger commands so one PTZ moves into position before the next camera cuts live. With Super Triggers, you can describe complex automation sequences in plain English and VVD converts them to executable code automatically.
VVD integrates natively with Tricaster, vMix, mimoLive, OBS Studio, and BlackMagic ATEM switchers. It directly controls NDI PTZ, Panasonic PTZ, and PTZ Optics cameras, and connects to professional broadcast infrastructure including Lawo VSM, Pathfinder Core Pro, Skaarhoj controllers, and Wheatstone routing systems. In vMix, VVD supports fades, straight cuts, VMix triggers, and Active Input changes. Additional integrations are continuously added based on user feedback.

Zero Configuration Audio Detection
There are no audio thresholds to set.
VVD uses a proprietary ballistic algorithm that analyses relative differences between all audio signals in real time. It selects the channel most likely to contain a person speaking — not based on volume, but on signal characteristics. A built-in neural network (Silero VAD) running locally on your machine distinguishes speech from background noise with no cloud dependency and no perceptible latency.
The result: you connect your audio sources, point your cameras, and VVD handles the rest. No calibration for different guests, no tweaking between shows, no adjustments when someone moves closer to or further from a microphone. It adapts automatically, just like an experienced human director.
Setup Examples
Simple Radio Station or Podcast Setup (Analog Split Method)
Y-Split cables split each microphone so that one copy goes to the radio station mixing desk and one copy goes to an ASIO interface such as the Tascam US4x4. Phantom power should only be supplied by either the mixing desk or the ASIO interface, not both. The mixing desk operates as normally. Virtual Video Director has a copy of each microphone which is not affected by the volume levels or mute buttons on the mixing desk. When someone speaks into a microphone, Virtual Video Director sends a signal to VMix to switch to the camera in front of that microphone. VMix does not receive the audio from each individual microphone.
A second ASIO interface is used which receives the left and right audio mixes from the mixing desk and sends it to VMix to broadcast.
Why are two audio interfaces required? - Because two applications cannot share a single ASIO audio interface, a separate one is required for each application. This also means that Virtual Video Director can run on a separate computer to VMix.
Live Production Setup (Using Dante)
Note: Dante VIA is an excellent alternative to this setup as it allows you to split audio into both VMix and VVD at the same time. 
Y-Split cables are generally not required for live productions as tools such as Dante Virtual Soundcard or NDI can be used with the Dante interface commonly found on most high quality professional audio mixing desks and vision mixers. This simplifies the equipment required.
In the example above, each audio sources is routed from the mixing desk to Virtual Video Director using Dante and the master mix is routed independently to VMix.
Advanced NDI Based Setup (Using NDI to send audio to VVD)
Using NDI creates a simple setup as all audio inputs can be routed directly to the video mixer and then sent back out to Virtual Video Director as NDI sources. Virtual Video Director only requests the audio component of NDI so very little additional bandwidth is consumed.
Simple Live Production Setup (Using Dante)
Where a Video Mixer is equipped with Dante directly, audio can be sent from the Video Mixer to Virtual Video Director using Dante. You can choose between using Dante VIA or Dante Virtual Soundcard depending on your setup.

Improve production quality
VVD's fuzzy logic produces natural, professional cuts that match the instincts of an experienced director. Reaction shots, speaker transitions, and pacing are all handled automatically with a consistency that manual switching cannot sustain.
20ms response time
VVD detects a speaker change and executes a switch in as little as 20 milliseconds — approximately 10x faster than a human operator. On-device neural network processing means there is no cloud round-trip and no perceptible delay.
Never gets tired
VVD delivers the same quality on hour 12 as it does on minute one. No fatigue, no missed cues, no loss of concentration. Run it around the clock for 24/7 broadcast operations with identical switching quality every session.
