Why VDO?

Post-production teams have long struggled with the limitations of traditional review workflows. Sending compressed files back and forth, scheduling in-person sessions, and dealing with unreliable screen-sharing tools all add friction to the creative process.

VDO changes this by providing real-time, colour-accurate video streaming purpose-built for editorial and colour grading workflows.

Sub-100ms Latency

Unlike consumer streaming platforms that buffer seconds of video, VDO delivers frames in under 100 milliseconds. This means your remote collaborators see cuts, transitions, and colour changes as they happen -- not seconds later.

Browser-Based Playback

Viewers join a session by clicking a link. No downloads, no plugins, no accounts required. The player runs entirely in the browser using modern web technologies.

Native macOS Encoding

Our Streamer app runs natively on macOS, leveraging hardware-accelerated encoding via VideoToolbox. Stream directly from DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, or any application on your desktop.

Colour Accuracy

For colour-critical work, VDO supports reference display synchronisation. When a colourist makes an adjustment, every viewer in the room sees the same image -- no guessing about gamma curves or colour spaces.

How It Works

Download the Streamer -- Install the native macOS app from vdostream.io/downloads
Create a Room -- Set up a collaborative or colour room from your dashboard
