Checking the USB connection status
When the connection is established, the “Connection” area indicates
the current status (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0).
If this indicates “NC,” a connection is not established.

Operation is unstable, such as if a connection cannot be
established, or the video is disordered
Touch <Reset> and try reconnecting this unit to your computer.
The “Dropped Frames” number is increasing
Normally this indicates “0.” If the number is increasing, video
transmission is not fast enough.
Either use “Resolution” to lower the output format, or use “Frame
Rate” to lower the frame rate.

Using dedicated “Video Capture for VR” software, the video and
audio that are output from this unit via USB can be recorded on your
computer.
