  1. When the video switcher is connected to VenuSet via USB, the video bus assigned to the USB STREAM port on the video switcher automatically switches to Input-View (Input-View 1 for models with multiple Input-View devices). (This does not change the video assignment setting for USB output on the video switcher.)
  2. When VenuSet goes offline, the video assignment of the USB output changes to the assignment that’s set on the video switcher itself.

 

  1. Connect the video switcher to your iPad with a USB 3.0 cable.
  2. Launch VenuSet.
  3. Tap [Ĉ] (settings) icon to open the menu screen.
  5. * If a passcode to lock the menu screen has been set, the passcode input screen is shown.
  6. Tap “Connection” to enable the “Preview” item.

  8. MEMO

    1. The default value is enabled.

  9. This completes the preview connection settings. To use preview videos, see “Preview sources” in “3-1. Editing the layout including the buttons”.
