Built by post people, for post people
VDO exists because we couldn't find a streaming platform that met the standards of professional post-production. So we built one.
The problem
Remote collaboration in post-production has always meant compromise. Consumer video calls destroy colour accuracy. Purpose-built solutions are expensive, clunky, and force you onto hardware you don't need. Nobody was building for the way creative teams actually work — on Macs, with colour-critical content, needing real-time feedback.
Our approach
We built the entire stack from scratch. A native macOS encoder that uses the hardware Media Engine in modern Macs. Our own server infrastructure in regional data centres. A browser-based viewer that needs no installs. And a peer-to-peer mode for colour-critical work where the stream never touches a server. Every piece is designed to work together.
What makes it different
Native Apple Silicon encoding
Hardware-accelerated H.265 via the Media Engine. Real-time 4K from a MacBook Pro at a fraction of the power draw of GPU-based solutions.
Zero-install playback
Viewers click a link and watch in the browser. No app downloads, no accounts, no IT tickets. Works on any modern device.
Colour-accurate P2P streaming
Colour Rooms connect directly between machines. Colour metadata is preserved end-to-end. The stream never passes through our servers.
Our own infrastructure
Dedicated servers in regional data centres — not shared cloud VMs. We control the stack from network to application.
Encrypted by default
Every stream is encrypted in transit. P2P connections are fully end-to-end encrypted with no server-side decryption.
Built for the tools you use
Screen capture, NDI, Blackmagic hardware, file playback. StreamLite sits alongside your NLE without impacting performance.
Who we are
VDO is built by people who've spent years in post-production and broadcast engineering. We understand the workflows, the quality expectations, and the frustration of tools that weren't designed for this work. We're a small team, focused on building something that actually solves the problem.
