Both software packages are essential for maximizing the functionality of your Camcon hardware and can be easily downloaded from our website.

​

Seamless integration for superior control

​​

​

Software setup:

Begin by installing the Camcon application software, followed by the OBS freeware. Only then install the VRC software to ensure it links seamlessly to both applications for optimal performance.

​

​

Signal flow:

The straightforward signal flow—MIC > CAMCON > VRC > OBS—ensures efficient processing and control of your camera feeds.

​

​

Camera integration:

The Camcon unit can manage up to 4 cameras, enhancing the capabilities of any mixing console and creating a visually dynamic broadcast experience.

​

​

 

Optimized for OBS studio

​

Currently, Camcon Visual Radio Control supports only OBS Studio, the leading free and open-source software for video recording and live streaming. With the VRC software, Camcon data is processed to control cameras connected to OBS, offering precise and automated scene switching based on microphone activity.​​

Future-proofing with vMix compatibility

​

While we work on launching our own interface between VRC and vMix, you can still utilize vMix by following these steps:

​​

​

​

Setup OBS studio:

Configure OBS Studio to output to a network video stream with minimal compression and buffering to reduce latency.

​

​

Camera control:

Use OBS Studio to control the required cameras and set up Visual Radio Control as usual.

​

​

vMix configuration:

Configure vMix to pick up the network video stream created by OBS Studio, integrating it into your workflow seamlessly.

The Camcon Visual Radio Control (VRC) software offers a comprehensive suite of features to manage and optimize your broadcast scenes, providing unparalleled control and flexibility.
