Visual radio integrations

Visual radio integrations connect VRA to the gear already in your studio. Your radio automation tells the graphics what is playing, and the microphones tell your ATEM, vMix or OBS who is talking. When a link your station needs is missing, we build it for Enterprise stations.

Video Switchers and Routers

Blackmagic ATEM

Blackmagic ATEM

Automate your Blackmagic ATEM for radio. VRA cuts it from the studio microphones and runs its keys and macros, and your team can take over at any time.

vMix

vMix

Automate vMix for your radio show. The studio microphones pick the input, VRA graphics arrive as one NDI input and the recording follows the rundown.

OBS

OBS

Automatic camera switching in OBS Studio: VRA changes the scene when a studio microphone opens, using the scenes you already built, and runs the recording.

Blackmagic Videohub

Blackmagic Videohub

Automate Blackmagic Videohub routing from VRA. Put SDI routes on buttons and in macros, next to your camera and graphics commands, on the studio network.

TriCaster

TriCaster

Ask us to check your TriCaster model and the control workflow you need.

Audio Interfaces

Dante Virtual Soundcard (VCS)

Dante Virtual Soundcard (VCS)

Dante Virtual Soundcard lists its channels as WDM pairs or one ASIO device. VRA reads either mode and makes each Dante mic a camera switching trigger.

RME Digiface Dante

RME Digiface Dante

The RME Digiface Dante brings Dante mic channels into the computer over USB 3.0. VRA recognises its channel pairs and makes each mic a camera trigger.

RAVENNA

RAVENNA

RAVENNA Receive arrives as numbered stereo pairs and RAVENNA ASIO as one device. VRA recognises both and turns each mic into a camera switching trigger.

Livewire+ AES67

Livewire+ AES67

Livewire+ studios can switch cameras from their AES67 mics once a RAVENNA, Merging or Digigram driver receives them. VRA builds a trigger per mic.

Digigram ALP-AES67

Digigram ALP-AES67

The Digigram ALP-AES67 is a PCIe card for AES67 and RAVENNA. VRA recognises its channel pairs by name and makes each mic a camera switching trigger.

Lawo R3LAY

Lawo R3LAY

Lawo R3LAY's WDM driver hands your studio mics to VRA, with or without the Lawo name in Windows. Each channel becomes a trigger that switches your cameras.

RME ASIO

RME ASIO

One RME MADIface, Fireface or Digiface carries every studio mic over one ASIO driver. VRA reads that block and makes each channel a camera trigger.

Radio Playouts

Aeron

Aeron

AerOn's export file drives your now-playing graphics. VRA reads it each time the on-air item changes and fills titles, artwork and item-based visuals.

OmniPlayer

OmniPlayer

OmniPlayer visual radio with VRA: song titles and graphics follow OmniPlayer's built-in export, and the cameras switch to whoever is talking in the studio.

mAirList

mAirList

mAirList visual radio: VRA turns mAirList's logging export into now-playing and coming-up graphics for the current item and next four, no script needed.

PowerStudio

PowerStudio

Use PowerStudio with VRA for now-playing and coming-up graphics. Its Link plugin sends the playing item and the next ones, with start times and durations.

Zenon Media

Zenon Media

Zenon Media's playlist export posts the current item and the next two to VRA, with comments, for now-playing and coming-up radio graphics.

RCS Zetta

RCS Zetta

Use RCS Zetta Live Metadata with VRA for automated radio graphics. Titles, categories and timing from each event fill overlays and trigger visuals.

ProppFrexx

ProppFrexx

ProppFrexx ONAIR sends VRA the current and next track as each one starts, through an OnTrackPlay command, and your now-playing radio graphics follow.

Caliope OnAir

Caliope OnAir

Caliope OnAir's playlist export posts the previous, current and next item to VRA, so your radio graphics show the titles and fire visuals on each change.

GML

GML

Audisi GML's Realtime Info XML carries its now-playing values. VRA watches that file and puts them in your radio graphics each time it changes.

PTZ cameras

Marshall

Marshall

Marshall CV PTZ cameras fit on a radio desk, from the compact CV605 to the 30x CV730. VRA automates them over VISCA over IP or NDI and recalls angles.

Panasonic

Panasonic

Panasonic AW PTZ cameras carry their own HTTP control and a built-in video stream. VRA automates them over that control and previews from the camera.

Sony

Sony

Run Sony BRC and SRG cameras from your studio microphones. VRA recalls angles over VISCA over IP and frames each shot before it goes on air.

PTZOptics

PTZOptics

PTZOptics Move, Studio and NDI cameras speak VISCA over IP or NDI, by model. VRA automates each one over its own protocol and frames the next shot off air.

Canon

Canon

Canon CR-N and CR-X PTZ cameras can run Canon's own auto tracking. VRA automates them over Canon's XC protocol, and each angle uses that or VRA's framing.

BirdDog

BirdDog

BirdDog PTZ cameras run on NDI, and VRA automates them over NDI too. Eyes, P and X series cameras recall their angles when a presenter starts talking.

NewTek

NewTek

NewTek NDI|HX PTZ cameras, from the 2017 PTZ1 to the PTZ3 UHD, run on NDI. VRA automates them over NDI and frames each shot while the camera is off air.

Vizrt

Vizrt

Vizrt released the PTZ3 PLUS and PTZ3 UHD PLUS in 2024 as NDI|HX3 PTZ cameras. VRA automates both over NDI and frames the next shot while it is off air.

Video Transports

Blackmagic DeckLink (SDI)

Blackmagic DeckLink (SDI)

Get SDI graphics output from a Blackmagic DeckLink or UltraStudio. The VRA Render Engine sends a full picture, or fill and key on supported cards.

NDI

NDI

NDI graphics output from the VRA Render Engine arrives in vMix or OBS as a source, and Camera Assist steers NDI PTZ cameras on the same network.

Open Media Transport (OMT)

Open Media Transport (OMT)

Open Media Transport (OMT) graphics output from the VRA Render Engine, in beta. Switched on per station, beside the NDI and SDI outputs of the same player.

GPIO and Control

Bitfocus Companion

Bitfocus Companion

Get Stream Deck control of your visual radio studio. The VRA Core module for Companion puts on air, cuts, macros and auto switching on keys with tally.

Cuez

Cuez

Ask us to confirm the supported Cuez workflow and setup for your station.

Ember+

Use Ember+ parameters as GPIO triggers for visual radio. VRA reads the console and router values you map to cut cameras, change graphics or run macros.

MQTT

Connect your own systems to a visual radio studio over MQTT. Read microphone, switcher and now-playing state, and write signals, scoped to one studio.

Livewire Routing Protocol

Use Livewire GPIO in your visual radio studio. VRA reads GPI states over LWRP to fire camera, graphics and macro actions, and you switch GPO ports by hand.

TCP

Control your visual radio studio over TCP. Send one line of text to VRA Core to put the studio on air, cut a camera or fire a macro, and get a reply.

File watch

Put now-playing graphics on screen from a text file. VRA watches the file your playout system writes and updates artist and title each time it changes.

Inbound HTTP

Send now-playing data to VRA over HTTP from any playout system: post the current and upcoming items as JSON and your radio graphics follow the show.
