  • Included USB 2.0 cable (Type C-Type C)

  • USB cable (for connecting the video capture device)

Connecting

  • Use an HDMI cable to connect the [HDMI 1] jack (or the [HDMI 2] jack) of the ZG01 with the HDMI output of your gaming device.
  • Use an HDMI cable to connect the [HDMI OUT] jack of the ZG01 to the HDMI input of your video capture device.
  • Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI input of your monitor/display to the HDMI OUT jack of your video capture device.
  • Use a USB cable to connect the USB port of your computer to the video capture device.
  • Use the USB 2.0 cable (included) to connect the [USB] jack of the ZG01 to the USB port on your computer.

NOTE
  • When connecting a condenser mic, turn on the ZG01 and then hold down the phantom [48V] button to turn the phantom power on. ()
  • Do not connect anything to the [MIC IN] jack on the front panel when you have already connected a mic to the [MIC IN] jack on the rear panel. If mics are connected to both jacks, the [MIC IN] jack on the front panel will be given priority.
  • You will need to install the “Yamaha ZG Controller” on your computer for this. ()
  • The audio for livestreaming can be output to the [HDMI OUT] jack and to the [USB] port. Configure the output destination in the STREAMING OUTPUT MIXER screen of the “Yamaha ZG Controller”. A warning message will appear when output to the [USB] port is set to “ON”. If this happens, you must carefully read the message and agree.
  • The method shown for connecting to a video capture device is just one example. Read the Owner’s Manual for the product in question before connecting.
