Switching the Video Automatically
(Auto Switching)
The video of INPUT 1–3 or of scenes (p. 12) can be switched
automatically (the auto switching function). You can make operation
easier by letting the video switch automatically.
Operation modes for auto switching
Auto switching provides three operation modes that you can select
as appropriate for your situation: “auto scan,” “beat sync,” and “video
follows audio.”
7
Switching at a specified interval (auto scan)
This automatically switches the video when a specified length of time
elapses. You can change the duration that each video is shown, and
also switch randomly between videos.
This is convenient when you want to switch between video signals
of multiple cameras, for example when live-streaming a singer-
instrumentalist.
* INPUT 1–3 are skipped if there is no video input.
7
Switching in sync with the beat of the music (beat sync)
This detects the beat of the song, and automatically switches the
video at intervals of the beat.
This lets you create video transitions that are synchronized with
the music, for example when live-streaming a DJ performance or a
musical performance.
* For some songs, it might not be possible to correctly detect the beat.
* INPUT 1–3 are skipped if there is no video input.
7
Switching according to the mic volume (video follows audio)
This detects the audio that is input from a mic, and automatically
switches to the specified video according to the volume.
For example, if you’re streaming a talk show or a conversation, you
can use this to switch between a closeup of the individual who is
speaking and a wide shot of both people when neither person is
speaking.
