How Houston Public Media automated camera switching for Hello Houston using VVD

Houston Public Media — Hello Houston

Houston Public Media is one of the leading public media organisations in the United States, serving the greater Houston area with award-winning news, educational programming, and community-focused content across TV, radio, and digital platforms.


Their show Hello Houston is a daily live broadcast that brings together local voices, stories, and conversations. When Houston Public Media decided to add video to their radio production, they chose VVD to automate the camera switching — allowing the team to focus entirely on the content and the conversation, without needing a dedicated camera operator in the studio.


The result speaks for itself. Watch the full episode below to see VVD in action — every camera switch is handled automatically, driven by the Mills Level Sensor and Mills Smart Sensor working together in real time.



Why it works:

  • Fully automated camera switching with no operator required
  • Seamless integration with existing studio audio infrastructure
  • Professional broadcast-quality output suitable for live streaming and on-demand playback
  • Zero disruption to presenter workflow — they just talk, VVD handles the rest
