VSK VIRTUAL STUDIO KIT
Documentation

Documentation

The full operator and show-designer manual - installation, every setting, every panel, the Blueprint API and the HTTP API.

Installation
Requirements, the seven install steps, firewall rule and the Studio Setup buttons.
Settings reference
Every VSK Project panel group - render format, inputs, output, NDI, web remote, recording, show file, sync, color - and where state persists.
Operator console
The VSK Cameras panel - program cut, 16-preset shot box, ARM states, transport, timing, overlays and scenes.
Health strip
Reading the status row - every item, its green/amber/red thresholds, and how to act on each.
Keyer & billboards
Per-billboard chroma keying - key color, monitor views, clean plate, crop, matte controls, despill, light wrap and Look-At modes.
Grounding
AO, projected floor shadow, native Lumen reflections and lift - pinning keyed talent to the virtual floor.
SDI & sync
DeckLink capture and program output - auto-wake inputs, per-input delay, BT.709-correct out, genlock/timecode, and real hardware field notes.
NDI
Zero-dependency NDI input and output - discovered sources in every picker, and the program feed as an NDI sender. Field-verified in and out.
Video Hub
Route any signal onto any screen in the set - source descriptors, Quick Media shelf, cut banks and crossfades.
Using custom nodes
The Blueprint node family - control bus readers/writers, event listeners, Scenes nodes, all nine pin types and the reserved bus names.
Audio
The show mixer - SDI and WASAPI strips, channel routing, split L/R meters, faders, AFV, DSP, and the Program/Monitor isolation rule.
Web remote & boards
The browser show-control surface at :8090/remote - modular boards, typed controls, guarded buttons, show-day locking, and the full HTTP API.
Key bindings & Stream Deck
Right-click any trigger to bind a key, the F13-F24 Stream Deck recipe, and the HTTP-URL alternative.
Scenes & show files
One-button full-studio snapshots, and the .vskshow file that carries the entire studio between machines.
Recording
MP4, ProRes and image sequences with alpha - ffmpeg-based, color-matched to the viewport, audio muxed per take.
FAQ & known limits
Camera tracking, platforms, web-remote security, audio limits, and what the "Coming soon" badge means.
