Why VeeShow

What usually takes several programs open at once fits in a single window here.

Control rooms often end up with one program for cues, one for the prompter, one for the monitors, one for the controllers, and a message to the colleague on the other computer to keep everyone in step. VeeShow brings it all together: every part knows about the others, and everything lives in the same show file.

Cues and show control

Audio, video, lighting, MIDI, OSC, timecode and show logic in a single list.

Video and masks

Stages, regions and outputs with warping and vector masks at every level.

3D spatial audio

Sounds as objects moving between the loudspeakers in the room.

Networked workflow

Several computers on the same show, at the same time, with media kept in sync.

Network outputs

Video and audio in any browser on the network, with no cables and no apps to install.

Stage monitors

Clocks, cues, notes and cameras on a screen or on a web page.

Teleprompter

A real text editor, with cues that move the script forward.

Controller Hub

Joysticks, button boxes, mixers and PTZ cameras, with no separate programs.

One show, every department. Sound, video, lighting and stage management work on the same show, while the actors follow the script: each from their own place.

Features

Built for opening night. And for every night after.

Every feature starts from a control room question: what you need to go on stage with confidence, what saves time in rehearsal, what prevents a mistake in front of the audience.

Cues and show control

A cue list that thinks like a control room.

Every moment of the show is a cue: a sound, a video, a lighting change, a message to another system. You line them up, group them, link them, and GO does the rest.

  • More than twenty cue types — audio, live microphone, video, image, text, fade, lighting, MIDI, MIDI file, OSC, timecode, waits, scripts and control cues such as start, stop, goto, load and arm.
  • Groups in five modes — all together on a timeline, one after another, first and enter, playlist, random.
  • Pre and post waits, auto-continue and auto-follow to build sequences that run by themselves.
  • Triggers from keyboard, MIDI, OSC, timecode and wall clock.
  • Cart wall for on-call effects, and a Show mode with large notes, upcoming cues and remaining time.
  • Edit several cues at once, command palette, search and renumbering.

Audio

Truly multichannel, from the first cue.

Every patch uses all the channels of the audio interface. Every cue decides, crosspoint by crosspoint, how much to send to each output, even while it plays.

  • Channel × output matrix for every audio and microphone cue, with levels you can change live.
  • Per-output fades with curves, mute and solo for every output.
  • Named outputs and a pink noise test for each one.
  • Live microphone as a cue, with the same matrix and the same fades.
  • Waveform with slices; one click loads the cue from that point to rehearse a passage.
  • Audio interface lost: immediate warning, a new attempt every 2 seconds, and cues resume from where they were.

3D spatial audio

Sound that moves through the room.

Draw the room with its loudspeakers, place a sound in space and send it around the audience. VeeShow works out the level of every loudspeaker, moment by moment.

  • 3D loudspeaker rooms, even with loudspeakers on different patches and interfaces.
  • DBAP and horizontal VBAP, distance attenuation and per-loudspeaker delay, room by room.
  • Movement timeline with X, Y and Z lanes, ready-made shapes and live recording by dragging the point around the room.
  • Top and front views, and live repositioning even during the show.

Video, stages and masks

Stages, regions, outputs. And masks at every level.

Build the video stage the way you see it on set: a surface split into regions, each sent to one or more projectors with its own warp. Then trim the light exactly where it belongs.

  • Stage → regions → outputs: one region feeds several outputs, and every link has its own warp.
  • Perspective, linear and Bézier warping, edge blending between projectors, rotation and mirroring for rear projection.
  • Vector and image masks on stage, region and output, with feather, invert, expand and animation through a Fade cue.
  • Mask editor with rectangle, ellipse, polygon, Bézier pen and freehand, snapping, grid and a photo of the set underneath.
  • Test patterns — grid, checkerboard, bars — in the editor or straight on the projectors, through masks and warping.
  • 16 video effects and 16 blend modes; GPU compositing with automatic fallback to the CPU.

Virtual network outputs

Video and audio in any browser on the network.

A video output can be a web page: the foyer, the dressing rooms, the lighting desk open it in a browser. An audio patch can play on phones or reach another computer.

  • “Web page” output with the same regions, warps and masks as a projector.
  • Adjustable frame rate and quality, with live measurements in the Patch view.
  • Listen from a phone with the delay you choose: minimum, normal or for weak Wi-Fi.
  • Continuous audio stream for VLC, OBS, ffmpeg or a computer connected to a mixer.
  • No apps to install on the devices that watch or listen.

Networked workflow

Several computers, one show. At the same time.

The sound engineer sets levels while video touches up the masks on another computer: every change appears on all of them right away. On GO they start together, and any of them can act as a backup.

  • Changes merged item by item: work in parallel on cues, stages and masks without overwriting each other, and undo only touches your own edits.
  • GO, stops and playhead mirrored on the other computers; incoming MIDI and OSC forwarded.
  • Every computer keeps its own devices: audio interfaces, MIDI ports and screens stay local to each one.
  • Networked media: missing or older files are copied from the computer with the most recent version, by hand or automatically.
  • Network down? Keep working, and changes are sent when it comes back without stopping the cues.
  • Mac and Windows together on the same network, with an access code.

Stage monitors

Stage monitors made to measure, on the network too.

Lay out the screens for the control room, the stage and the dressing rooms with the widgets you need, each styled the way you want. Any monitor can also be a web page to open on a tablet.

  • Free-form widgets: clock, stopwatch, show time, countdown, running cue, standby cue with notes, cue time, camera, text.
  • Full styling for every widget: font, fixed or fitted size, alignment, line height, spacing, background with transparency, opacity, border and corners.
  • RTSP and HTTP cameras inside the monitor, reconnecting on their own.
  • A web page for every monitor, to open on tablets and computers on the network.
  • Stopwatch and show time controlled from keys, MIDI and OSC.

Teleprompter

A teleprompter that writes like a word processor.

The script lives inside the show. Format it as you would in a word processor and link it to the cues: when the music starts, the text jumps to the right place.

  • Per-word formatting: font, size, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, colour and highlight with transparency.
  • Reusable styles for characters and stage directions, and Word import (.docx).
  • Section marks and cue tags that move the teleprompter forward when the cue fires.
  • Window or full screen, horizontal and vertical mirroring, a web page for another computer.
  • Speed and position from keys, MIDI (fader included), OSC and script cues.

Controller Hub

Every controller becomes part of the control room.

Joysticks, USB button boxes, MIDI surfaces, digital mixers and PTZ cameras in one place, with rules you teach by pressing a button.

  • USB controllers read from their own description, including the hidden switches of some panels.
  • Rules with “Learn”, enable conditions, curves, thresholds and seven modes of use.
  • Actions: VeeShow commands and cues by number, MIDI, OSC, HTTP, mixers, VISCA cameras, windows and volume.
  • X Air and X32 mixers over OSC with their state followed live; APC mini as a mixer surface with LEDs and banks.
  • Respects Show mode, the minimum interval between two GOs and output locks.

Lighting and protocols

Talks to everything in the theatre.

Lighting, external systems and sync: VeeShow sends and receives the protocols used in the control room, and it can be driven from a phone too.

  • Lighting over Art-Net with lighting cues in the same list and a lighting dashboard.
  • MIDI and OSC in and out, to control VeeShow and to let it control other systems.
  • MTC and LTC timecode out, and in to keep a list in time.
  • Phone or tablet remote: GO, pause, stop, panic, playhead, teleprompter and timers, with an access code.
  • Input and output lock on one computer, to rehearse without sending anything to the rig.

Safety on stage

Made not to let you down in front of the audience.

On stage there is no time to fix things. VeeShow prevents the most common mistakes and, when something goes wrong, tells you right away and tries to put things back on its own.

  • Show mode: editing locked, large notes, upcoming cues and remaining times with warning colours.
  • Minimum interval between two GOs, so a double tap does not fire two cues.
  • Confirmation for Stop all, Reset and Reopen devices during the show.
  • Recovery copy of unsaved changes and a backup of the previous version on every save.
  • Audio interface or monitor unplugged: immediate warning and recovery when they come back.
  • Missing files found automatically and the whole show collected into one folder to take on tour.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which systems does it run on?

macOS and Windows. The show is the same file on both, and computers running different systems can work together on the same show.

Can I work with several computers at once?

Yes. One computer shares the show and the others join over the local network with an access code. Everyone sees the others' changes right away, GOs are mirrored on every computer and any of them can act as a backup. Missing media files are copied from the computer that has them.

Do I need an internet connection?

No. The networked workflow, web pages, monitors, teleprompter, virtual outputs and remote only use the theatre's local network.

What can I connect?

Multichannel audio interfaces, projectors and displays, MIDI ports, Art-Net nodes, OSC systems, USB joysticks and button boxes, X Air and X32 mixers, VISCA PTZ cameras and RTSP or HTTP cameras. Plus any phone, tablet or computer with a browser, for the remote, monitors and network outputs.

Is it ready for my show?

VeeShow is in early access. The features described here are in the program, and we are testing them with real rigs and real shows: that is why we are looking for the first control rooms. Tell us about your production and we will tell you honestly whether the time is right.

What language is the interface in?

The interface is currently in Italian, across menus, windows and web pages. If you need another language, let us know in the form.
