Unattended.
Always on.
A dedicated Linux appliance for post houses and broadcast facilities. Plug in SDI, HDMI, or NDI and stream on demand. No workstation tied up. No operator in the machine room. Managed entirely from your VDO dashboard.
A broadcast appliance, not a workstation. Rackable Linux hardware that runs 24/7. Operators schedule and control sessions remotely.
DeckLink + NDI capture, hardware encoding on NVIDIA / Intel / AMD, systemd auto-restart. Operated entirely from the VDO web dashboard — no SSH, no local UI, no site visit.
Built-in support for Blackmagic DeckLink cards and NDI sources on the same box. Multi-channel embedded audio. Switch sources remotely from the dashboard without touching the hardware.
- Blackmagic DeckLink SDI and HDMI capture
- NDI receive with automatic discovery
- Up to 16 channels of embedded audio
- Built-in bars-and-tone test signal
- Signal probe for pre-flight validation
NVIDIA NVENC, Intel and AMD VAAPI, and x264 as a software fallback. The appliance picks the fastest path available on the host and adapts bitrate and chroma to the session profile in real time.
- NVENC HEVC / H.264 on NVIDIA cards
- VAAPI HEVC / H.264 on Intel Quick Sync and AMD VCN
- x264 software fallback on any x86_64 CPU
- 8 / 10-bit, up to 4:2:2 chroma
- Bitrate profiles per room type
Every appliance shows up in your VDO tenant. Start a session, switch source, adjust bitrate, read live health metrics, or tail the logs — all from the web. Perfect for facilities running dozens of streamers across multiple sites.
- Live bitrate, frame rate, and signal health
- Switch source without an engineer on-site
- Assign rooms per appliance from the dashboard
- Remote log tail and restart
- Fleet view for multi-appliance deployments
Ships as a signed .rpm or .deb for RHEL-family and Debian-family distributions. The daemon installs as a systemd service, registers with your tenant using a streamer key, and restarts on boot. Outbound TLS only — no inbound firewall rules to manage.
