In addition to a standard selection of transitions, you can also composite video sources together side by side, nest them together picture-in-picture style, or perform advanced keying for professional overlays. The VR-5's dual touch-sensitive LCD monitors give source selection and effects cuing hands-on simplicity. At the same time, the VR-5 is a fully functional digital audio mixer, equipped with a pair of balanced mic and line inputs, as well as stereo inputs for each video source. The VR-5's Audio Follow function even automatically crossfades audio as you switch from video source to video source. What's even more impressive is the VR-5's built-in recording and output functions. Because you can use both of these functions simultaneously you can broadcast via USB straight to your USTREAM, Stickam, or other streaming account online, all while recording in high-resolution MPEG-4 format to an SD card. Producing audio and video on the fly couldn't be easier!
