Live Internet distribution from the church, live house and theater. Control audio for better sound with built-in equalizer, noise gate, and reverb. Ensure the audio always matches the video by adjusting the audio delay (up to 4 seconds) for that perfect lip sync. Use the memory function to recall settings that were locked in during rehearsals. This enables great sounding events even when talking/speaking and live music are alternating.

Internet distribution for corporate events and parties. The VR-3 is equipped with four video inputs and six audio inputs. It can be used flexibly in a venue with existing video cameras or PA equipment. Switched video images can be output to the PC for Internet distribution through the USB port, while using a projector or large TV monitor at the same time. Effectively produce events with video images from video cameras and computer. Share and inspire people in remote locations by distributing live video images of a ceremony, reunion or other important events.
