A built-in 2.2" LCD screen provides live monitoring of video, audio, system status, and menu settings. The rear USB-C port also allows the device to function as a webcam. Tactile control is offered through six front-panel buttons and a spin knob. Power options include 100–240 VAC and 12 VDC via a 4-pin XLR input.
