New: Media Connections - Connect Your Recording Devices to Visual Radio

We added Media Connections, a new way to integrate your recording devices directly with VRA. Whether you're using a HyperDeck, vMix, OBS, or NAS storage - you can now connect these devices to VRA and automatically pull in your recordings as clips.

For example, when vMix or OBS finishes a recording, or when a HyperDeck writes a file, VRA picks it up through the configured media connection. The same applies for NAS-based workflows - connect your network storage and access your recordings directly from within VRA. Scheduling sync ensures recordings from OBS and vMix align with your broadcast schedule automatically.
