About
Built by post people,
for post people.
VDO exists because we couldn’t find a review tool that respected the work. So we built one. The grade you spent the day on. The cut you’ve watched a thousand times. The suite you set up exactly the way you like it. They deserve to land in front of your client — and back in your hands — unchanged.
02
One pipeline. Colour-managed end to end.
03
Two products. Sessions and Workstation.
04
Private by default. Recorded by no one.
01 · The story
The grade
deserved better.
Every remote review tool we tried compressed the frame to fit a video call. Colour we’d worked all day to land became a banded approximation by the time it reached the client. Workflows we’d sharpened over years got bent around whatever the conferencing tool happened to support that quarter. None of it respected the work in the room.
We started VDO to fix that. Not by retro-fitting a video-call stack with a colour profile, but by building one pipeline from scratch — one that carries 10-bit 4:4:4 frames from the suite to a client’s browser without transcoding, without re-encoding, and without storing anything between the people in the room.
Sessions came first — the live review tool. Workstation followed for the colourists who wanted to sit at their suite from anywhere. Around them grew Facility Streamer for multi-stream rooms, the free OFX bridge for Resolve, and native players for Apple TV and iPad in the screening room. One pipeline. Many surfaces.
02 · What we believe
The work,
unchanged.
VDO is opinionated. The opinions are simple, and they show up in every line of the product. None of them are about us.
— What you graded.
Is what they open.
We don’t transcode. We don’t re-encode. We don’t flatten to Rec.709 on the way out. The colour space, the transfer, the chroma sampling — whatever you set in the suite is what the pipeline carries.
— What you sent.
Is gone when it ends.
Sessions are not recorded “just in case.” Nothing sits on a CDN waiting to leak. The session ends and the frame is gone — from us, from intermediaries, from everywhere except your suite.
— What you built.
Stays the way you built it.
Sit at your suite from anywhere. Pen pressure, multi-monitor, ICC profiles forwarded both ways, audio that works. The native agent runs on the suite; you connect from a browser. Nothing in your studio changes.
— What we charge for.
Is the live session.
Sessions and Workstation are the products. The OFX bridge from Resolve, the browser viewers, the Apple TV and iPad players are free with any account — including the free tier. We charge for the live pipe, not the bridges to it.
03 · The pipeline
One pipe.
Not a stack of plugins.
We didn’t glue VDO together from existing parts. We built the encoder, the transport and the player so they share assumptions about colour, latency and trust.
- 01Native encoder on the suite — macOS Apple Silicon and Linux.
- 02Custom protocol over QUIC; UDP with TCP fallback.
- 03Direct peer-to-peer for colour; relay for editorial scale.
- 04Browser, macOS, iPadOS and tvOS players that share one decoder.
- 05Regional infrastructure we operate — not a re-sold cloud.
Who we are
“A small team. From the suite, not the boardroom.”
VDO is built by colourists, editors and broadcast engineers who’ve spent careers in post. We understand the workflows, the quality bar, and the friction of tools that weren’t designed for this room. We work in public: what we ship, what we’re writing next, and what we’ve decided not to build — on purpose.
