VRC (Video Recording Control Hub)

VRC is a centralized Windows application designed to remotely
MONITOR and CONTROL multiple vMix instances from a single dashboard.

The Problem It Solves
In professional live production, you rarely rely on a single machine.
You have one vMix PC for the main mix, another for instant replays, and a third for graphics.
Monitoring and controlling all of them simultaneously usually requires a large crew or constantly switching between KVMs.
This leads to missed cues, high stress, and potential on-air failures.

VRC turns any Windows tablet or laptop on your network into a Master Control Room.
Stop jumping between different computers to manage your broadcast.

Who is this for?

• Solo Operators & Small Crews: Manage recording, streaming, and switching across multiple PCs without needing extra hands.
  
• Esports Productions: Control complex multi-node setups from one central hub with precision timing.
  
• Broadcast Engineers & Technical Directors: Prevent stream crashes and ruined recordings before they happen.

🔥 Key Features

1. Global Dashboard & Control
Start, stop, and manage Recording, Streaming, External outputs, and Multicorder across all your vMix machines simultaneously.
Switch inputs, control audio levels, and manage playlists directly from VRC.


2. Deep PC Health Monitoring (WMI)
Track CPU/GPU usage and, crucially, remaining free disk space across all remote nodes in real-time.
You will know if a backup recording drive is full before the broadcast drops.


3. Native External Controller Integration (Stream Deck / Companion)
Bind your external controllers directly to VRC commands. VRC provides zero-delay visual feedback (Smart Tally) back to your controller.
The external device acts as a "thin client".


4. Smart Automation & Web Dashboard
Features a built-in Task Scheduler for delayed/recurring commands and a Web Dashboard for read-only tally monitoring from any smartphone or tablet on the local network.

Installed it on a test rig today. The UI is slick and the local WMI monitoring is great, no arguments there. But realistically, how does this hub scale? If I have 10 vMix nodes running across different subnets in a large facility, or even trying to control a remote instance over a VPN – what’s the latency like? Does VRC handle connection drops gracefully, or will the UI freeze up waiting for an API response? Curious to hear if anyone has stress-tested this beyond a simple local gigabit switch.

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a really exciting update! 🚀

A user from Argentina (Pablo Herrera) recently reached out and shared a photo of VRC Hub being actively used in the live production studios of DGO (DirecTV GO)!



The audio operator there is using VRC as a dedicated external dashboard to control audio gain and monitor SRT stream statuses independently, without needing to touch or clutter the main vMix vision mixer.

This was exactly my main goal when designing the UI — keeping it simple, lightweight, but giving you all the necessary controls at a glance. Seeing this tool running in a major broadcast environment is a massive motivation to keep pushing updates.

A big thank you to everyone in the community who has downloaded, tested, and provided feedback so far!

If anyone else is using VRC in their daily productions, I’d love to see your setups. Feel free to share your photos or drop any feature requests right here in the thread.

Cheers,
Aleksandr
