Avoiding Sporadic Issues When Livestreaming (Safety Delay)

The VR-120HD comes with a built-in "safety delay" function that helps you to avoid unexpected troubles during livestreaming.
You can set the video and audio buffer (streaming delay time: "Stream Delay") for the safety delay function.
If an accidental issue occurs within the streaming delay time, you can control the "switch to still image" and "mute audio" functions with the press of a
button, which prevents undesirable content from being streamed.
The safety delay function thus helps you to feel more at ease when livestreaming content, especially in situations like live events where there is no script or
guide.
Stream Delay
¹ The streaming delay time can be set in five-second intervals, to a
maximum of 60 seconds.
¹ This unit switches to the still image you imported as the "safety image".
¹ The unit switches to the safety image only during livestreaming.
You can only check the switch to the safety image by looking at the
livestreamed video. The image shown on this unit's display or the
video outputted via the HDMI OUT connector doesn't switch to the
safety image.
¹ Use this function by assigning the USER buttons to switch to the still
image and to mute the audio.
