2. Basic terminology
2.1. What is a Studio Set?
A studio set is a virtual broadcast studio that is built on the cloud. Multiple instances are connected within the
studio set, and video and audio transmission (NDI communication) can be performed between them within
the studio set.
2.2. What is an Instance?
An instance is a virtual PC (VM) that is launched on the cloud. Multiple types (instance types) are available,
and each type is created from a preset image, so the setup environment will automatically start up. Therefore,
you can quickly start using pre-installed apps after booting.
※Licenses for various paid applications are not included and must be purchased separately.
Instance Size
Instance size refers to the performance metrics of an instance. As the size increases from 2x to 3x, etc.,
the number of CPUs (referred to as vCPUs since it is a virtual PC on the cloud) and the memory capacity
increase. The specific specifications for each size vary depending on the instance type.
Storage Size
Instances have a storage size set apart from the instance type and instance size. Storage here refers to
the disk drive where the OS is installed.
basic_en.md 2024-04-19
10 / 117
2.3. What is an (instance) group?
This feature allows you to manage instances by dividing them into groups (colors). For example, it can be
used to add colors to suit the purpose. (Example: Input is aqua, composition is green, encoder is yellow, etc.)
2.4. What is credit (remaining time, data-transfer capacity)?
Cloud Studio requires credits to run instances and cloud file storage. Credits are expressed in terms of
「remaining time」 and 「data transfer capacity 」, 1 minute of credit residual time to run for 1 minute , 1GB of
data transfer space is consumed to transfer 1GB of data to the Internet.
Credits are replenished periodically (e.g., every month for a monthly subscription) based on your subscription.
Additionally, you can purchase credit add-on packs to replenish them instantly.
The instance and cloud file storage will automatically stop when the credits are empty. There will be a grace
period of about one hour before the shutdown, but the overage will be deducted as soon as the credits are
replenished, since the overage will also be charged to your credit.
Cloud Studio has a 「credit alert」 function that notifies you when your credits are running low. Please utilize
this function (→ Configuring Credit Alert Rules).
2.5. What is Nice DCV?
Cloud Studio's remote desktop connection uses a product called Nice DCV.
Nice DCV has the advantage of being able to operate at high frame rates and low latency, and can take
advantage of hardware support (GPU support).
You can also connect speakers, microphones, and USB devices from your local PC to a remote PC (instance).
It is also easy to connect to the 「web client」 from a web browser. You can also download and install a
dedicated client for a higher-quality experience.
For practical purposes, the dedicated client is more recommended.(→Download the dedicated client

About file names
The file name can contain double-byte characters and Japanese. However, emojis are not allowed. If
special characters or machine-dependent characters are used, the file name may be garbled (??? etc.).
Technically, on cloud file storage, To ensure compatibility between Windows and Linux OS, the file
name is stored as EUC-JP instead of utf-8.
About the amount transferred
Your subscription plan determines the maximum amount of data transfer (sending data from Cloud
Studio to the internet).
In addition to sending data from the instance, previewing and downloading files in file storage
consumes data transfer space.
If you run out of data transfer capacity, you will temporarily lose access to your file storage, so if you
have a low amount, you will need to replenish it with a credit pack.

About Capacity Allocation
File uploads and file copies that require more space than the quota will fail.
The allocated space is consumed by the size of the file when the guest uploads the file. Files
uploaded by non-guests are not consumed (the quota is not the capacity limit of the folder itself)
If a guest-uploaded file is deleted, the remaining space will be restored.
If a file uploaded by a guest is moved out of the shared folder, the remaining space will also be
restored.
The remaining capacity does not change just because the name is changed. However, if the
name is changed outside of Cloud Studio website, it will be treated as if it had been deleted, and
the remaining capacity will be restored.

If subfolder sharing is enabled, the remaining capacity will not change if you move to a subfolder. If
the move is made outside of Cloud Studio website, even if it is in a shared folder, it will be treated as
if it had been deleted, and the remaining space will be restored.

Connect your webcam
Only for Windows OS instances
This function has a fixed resolution of 640x480 and a frame rate of 30fps, so please consider it as a last
resort when it is unavoidable.
Whether it‘s a web client or a dedicated client, you can connect a webcam connected to your local PC to your
instance.
1. Access your instance with the web client or a dedicated client (→ Access Instance)
2. First, make sure that the webcam is working properly (video can be imported) on the local PC. Device
drivers are fine if they are installed on the local PC (they do not need to be installed on the instance).
3. Select the webcam you want to connect to in the Camera settings.
→ Web Client Camera Settings
→ Camera Settings for Dedicated Clients
4. Enable the webcam connection in the toolbar. In the case of a web client, a confirmation will be
displayed from the web browser that 「... is asking for the following permission "Use the camera"」.
Click Allow.
5. In your streaming software (vMix or OBS Studio), select a webcam as the input device (In the device list,
it will be displayed as AVSCamera RFC).
6. Video can be captured in the same way as a capture device (audio is not captured).
7. Please note that disconnecting the client will stop ingestion. To continue ingestion, the client must
remain connected.

Because the webcam capture method is different between the web client and the dedicated client,
please note that the picture will not always be the same.
Connect a USB device
Only supported for Windows OS instances and Windows OS dedicated clients.
Not all USB devices will work. I think that connecting via Nice DCV is a connection method that most
USB devices do not expect. If it doesn‘t recognize, doesn’t work at all, or behaves erratically, you may
not get satisfactory performance.
Some USB devices require drivers to be installed on the instance. Typical USB sticks work with the OS
standard driver, but special USB controllers require the driver to be installed in advance.
First, to use a USB device connection, you must access your instance with a dedicated client.
In the case of a typical USB stick, it is likely that it is already recognized by a dedicated client. In that case, you
can connect by following the steps below.
1. When installing the dedicated client, enable USB device remotization in 「Drivers Selection」.
2. Use a dedicated client to access your instance (→ Use a dedicated client)
3. Connect the USB flash drive to your local PC.
4. From the toolbar of the dedicated client, click Settings → Removable Devices, in that order.
5. A list of USB devices that can be connected to Removable Devices will be displayed. Find the USB stick
you just connected and click the switch on the right to turn it on.
6. The USB stick is disconnected from the local PC and connected to the instance.
7. The drive will be added to the instance‘s File Explorer and you will be able to access the USB stick. Read
and write files on this drive. In addition, the dedicated client must remain connected during access.
8. Turning the switch off in Removable Devices will disconnect from the instance and restore the
connection to the local PC.

116 / 117
If the USB device is not listed in Removable Devices
You must edit the Nice DCV config file and add it manually.
1. When installing the dedicated client, enable USB device remotization in 「Drivers Selection」.
2. Make sure you have the driver for the USB device installed on your local PC. If not, install it and make
sure that your USB device is working properly.
3. Open C:Program Files (x86)NICEDCVClientbin in Explorer and run dcvusblist.exe.
4. When the USB device is listed, find the desired device, right-click on it and click Copy filter
setting. The selections are copied.
5. Start a text editor such as Notepad and paste the one you copied in step (4). Keep Notepad open.
6. Access the instance with a dedicated client (→use a dedicated client)
7. Install the driver for the USB device on the instance side (if a driver is required)
8. Start Notepad on the instance side and click Open under File from the menu. Enter C:Program
FilesNICEDCVServerconfusb-devices.conf in File name and click Open.
9. Copy and paste the notes you made in step (5) into a new line at the end of the usb-devices.conf
file.
10. Save and close Notepad.
11. Reboot the instance (→ Reboot Instance)
12. Access the instance again with a dedicated client, go to 「Settings」 and click on Removable Devices.
If the added USB device appears in the list, you can connect it by following the same procedure.

Basic terminology 2.1. What is a Studio Set? A studio set is a virtual broadcast studio that is built on the cloud. Multiple instances are connected within the studio set, and video and audio transmission (NDI communication) can be performed between them within the studio set. 2.2. What is an Instance? An instance is a virtual PC (VM) that is launched on the cloud. Multiple types (instance types) are available, and each type is created from a preset image, so the setup environment will automatically start up. Therefore, you can quickly start using pre-installed apps after booting. ※Licenses for various paid applications are not included and must be purchased separately. Instance Size Instance size refers to the performance metrics of an instance. As the size increases from 2x to 3x, etc., the number of CPUs (referred to as vCPUs since it is a virtual PC on the cloud) and the memory capacity increase. The specific specifications for each size vary depending on the instance type. Storage Size Instances have a storage size set apart from the instance type and instance size. Storage here refers to the disk drive where the OS is installed.
  • 10. basic_en.md 2024-04-19 10 / 117 2.3. What is an (instance) group? This feature allows you to manage instances by dividing them into groups (colors). For example, it can be used to add colors to suit the purpose. (Example: Input is aqua, composition is green, encoder is yellow, etc.) 2.4. What is credit (remaining time, data-transfer capacity)? Cloud Studio requires credits to run instances and cloud file storage. Credits are expressed in terms of 「remaining time」 and 「data transfer capacity 」, 1 minute of credit residual time to run for 1 minute , 1GB of data transfer space is consumed to transfer 1GB of data to the Internet. Credits are replenished periodically (e.g., every month for a monthly subscription) based on your subscription. Additionally, you can purchase credit add-on packs to replenish them instantly. The instance and cloud file storage will automatically stop when the credits are empty. There will be a grace period of about one hour before the shutdown, but the overage will be deducted as soon as the credits are replenished, since the overage will also be charged to your credit. Cloud Studio has a 「credit alert」 function that notifies you when your credits are running low. Please utilize this function (→ Configuring Credit Alert Rules). 2.5. What is Nice DCV? Cloud Studio's remote desktop connection uses a product called Nice DCV. Nice DCV has the advantage of being able to operate at high frame rates and low latency, and can take advantage of hardware support (GPU support). You can also connect speakers, microphones, and USB devices from your local PC to a remote PC (instance). It is also easy to connect to the 「web client」 from a web browser. You can also download and install a dedicated client for a higher-quality experience. For practical purposes, the dedicated client is more recommended.(→Download the dedicated client (external site)) 3. Starting and Stopping Studio Sets and Instances 3.1.

Connect a USB device Only supported for Windows OS instances and Windows OS dedicated clients. Not all USB devices will work. I think that connecting via Nice DCV is a connection method that most USB devices do not expect. If it doesn‘t recognize, doesn’t work at all, or behaves erratically, you may not get satisfactory performance. Some USB devices require drivers to be installed on the instance. Typical USB sticks work with the OS standard driver, but special USB controllers require the driver to be installed in advance. First, to use a USB device connection, you must access your instance with a dedicated client. In the case of a typical USB stick, it is likely that it is already recognized by a dedicated client. In that case, you can connect by following the steps below. 1. When installing the dedicated client, enable USB device remotization in 「Drivers Selection」. 2. Use a dedicated client to access your instance (→ Use a dedicated client) 3. Connect the USB flash drive to your local PC. 4. From the toolbar of the dedicated client, click Settings → Removable Devices, in that order. 5. A list of USB devices that can be connected to Removable Devices will be displayed. Find the USB stick you just connected and click the switch on the right to turn it on. 6. The USB stick is disconnected from the local PC and connected to the instance. 7. The drive will be added to the instance‘s File Explorer and you will be able to access the USB stick. Read and write files on this drive. In addition, the dedicated client must remain connected during access. 8. Turning the switch off in Removable Devices will disconnect from the instance and restore the connection to the local PC.
  • 116. basic_en.md 2024-04-19 116 / 117 If the USB device is not listed in Removable Devices You must edit the Nice DCV config file and add it manually. 1. When installing the dedicated client, enable USB device remotization in 「Drivers Selection」. 2. Make sure you have the driver for the USB device installed on your local PC. If not, install it and make sure that your USB device is working properly. 3. Open C:Program Files (x86)NICEDCVClientbin in Explorer and run dcvusblist.exe. 4. When the USB device is listed, find the desired device, right-click on it and click Copy filter setting. The selections are copied. 5. Start a text editor such as Notepad and paste the one you copied in step (4). Keep Notepad open. 6. Access the instance with a dedicated client (→use a dedicated client) 7. Install the driver for the USB device on the instance side (if a driver is required) 8. Start Notepad on the instance side and click Open under File from the menu. Enter C:Program FilesNICEDCVServerconfusb-devices.conf in File name and click Open. 9. Copy and paste the notes you made in step (5) into a new line at the end of the usb-devices.conf file. 10. Save and close Notepad. 11. Reboot the instance (→ Reboot Instance) 12. Access the instance again with a dedicated client, go to 「Settings」 and click on Removable Devices.
