The radio show that directs itself.
VVD listens to your mics and drives your vision mixer — vMix, ATEM, OBS — to cut to whoever’s talking, live. Your on-air studio becomes a polished multicam show, with no director and no camera op.

This is VVD, live at ESPN Chicago.
Unedited — VVD directing the cameras live for a radio show at ESPN Chicago.
One locked wide shot loses the room. VVD keeps the camera on whoever’s talking.
A single static angle is the fastest way to make great radio look like a webcam. VVD gives every moment the cut it deserves — automatically, for every show.
CAM 1 · LOCKED WIDEWithout VVD
One camera, locked wide. Viewers can’t tell who’s speaking, the energy flattens, and great radio ends up looking like a webcam.
ON AIRCUT · CAM 2With VVD
VVD drives your vision mixer to cut to whoever’s talking — close on the host, over to the guest, back for the crosstalk. It looks directed, because it is.
Three things, on repeat, for as long as you’re on air.
Reads your mics
VVD listens to every mic — from your Wheatstone metering to Dante, NDI audio, analog or USB — and tracks who’s live, moment to moment.
Calls the shot
It knows who’s speaking and tells your vision mixer to cut to their camera — with a director’s timing, plus your own rules for the calls that matter.
Drives your vision mixer
VVD sends the cut to vMix, ATEM, OBS or your switcher of choice — which puts the right camera to air, live. No editor, no operator in the loop.
Built for Wheatstone studios. No add-on licence.
VVD reads mic activity straight from your Wheatstone metering — officially supported, out of the box, with no extra licence to buy. It also listens to Dante (via Dante Via or DVS), NDI audio, and any analog or USB source.
Officially supportedby Wheatstone
Beyond metering, VVD plugs into your Wheatstone automation: it reacts to SLIO logic pins — on-air, playout and surface commands — and can fire Blade salvos, utility-mixer moves and routing changes as part of the show.

It understands radio — not just microphones.
A naive auto-switcher flails between silent hosts and airs dead air. VVD knows the difference between talk, a song, an ad break and silence — and directs like a producer who’s done a thousand shows.
Knows when you’re live
Songs and ad breaks hold your station branding on screen — VVD only cuts cameras when talent is actually on air.
Never airs an awkward silence
When every mic goes quiet, VVD cuts to a safe shot — not a lingering close-up of a presenter mid-breath.
Handles everyone talking at once
When the room erupts, VVD pulls back to a wide “everyone” shot instead of flip-flopping between mics.
Cuts on the voice, not the cough
AI voice detection tells a talking host from a cough, shuffled paper or keyboard clatter — so it never cuts to the wrong mic.
Take VVD off auto with a single Power control and your vision mixer holds its shot. If every mic goes quiet, it cuts to a safe shot. And because VVD drives your switcher with discrete take commands, if it ever stops, the mixer simply holds the last shot on air.
