This page is not only about connection methods. Customers also need to see what KD61B actually helps them do during a live show.
Play, pause, live, jump-to-now, event playback, and output control are all available from the panel surface.
Operators can mark clip boundaries quickly during live action and build replay packages without leaving the hardware.
Dedicated camera selection supports multi-angle replay workflows and fast operator response during live production.
The jog wheel and speed controls help with frame search, slow motion, and precise replay timing.
Web-customizable buttons are available in both modes, while USB MIDI gives deeper mapping flexibility for advanced operators.
KD61B can serve simple plug-and-play setups or more advanced replay systems depending on the connection mode you choose.
Keep the setup paths separate so customers can follow the exact workflow that matches their chosen mode.
