Professional Audio/Video

The Roland V-40HD Multi-Format Video Switcher is a true multi-format video switcher, meaning it doesn't require input sources to be matched to output resolutions. Every input has its own broadcast quality scaler that can individually scale, stretch, crop and zoom each source as needed for the output resolution chosen. A Multi-Zoom feature can be enabled when one video input is shared internally with up to three more inputs. The scaler for each input can zoom into any position in the video image to give the appearance that additional cameras are connected, thus creating a virtual multi-camera environment. LEDs indicate input status.

The VC-1-SC Up/Down/Cross Scan Converter from Roland provides high picture quality by maintaining the video characteristics of the original signal with rich-blacks and super-whites. There are no interlacing artifacts or other conversion or signal errors that are sometimes found with other video converters. The VC-1-SC also features an on-board re-clocker to compensate for attenuation of SDI signals carried over long distances. The VC-1-SC also supports both level A and B 3G-SDI, thereby enabling you to connect a variety of high quality SDI sources.

The VC-1-DL Bi-Directional SDI/HDMI Video Converter with Delay and Frame Sync from Roland provides high picture quality by maintaining the video characteristics of the original signal with rich-blacks and super-whites. There are no interlacing artifacts or other conversion or signal errors that are sometimes found with other video converters. The VC-1-DL also features an on-board re-clocker to compensate for attenuation of SDI signals carried over long distances. The VC-1-DL also supports both level A and B 3G-SDI, thereby enabling you to connect a variety of high quality SDI sources.

The Roland VC-1-HS HDMI to SDI Video Converter allows HDMI video sources to be incorporated into an SDI workflow, and can also serve and an audio embedder and de-embedder. The internal processing has been designed to faithfully preserve the incoming HDMI signal and frame rate without introducing interlacing artifacts, signal errors, or reducing the dynamic range of the image. The VC-1-HS features an HDMI and an SDI output that supports 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI. A hybrid balanced stereo analog and AES/EBU digital audio input allows additional audio sources to be embedded in the SDI stream along with any HDMI audio. For local monitoring there is an HDMI loop-out that can be used with standard, consumer-grade HDMI displays and will incorporate any audio that has been embedded within the unit. A hybrid analog/digital audio output separates the HDMI and embedded audio and can be used for local monitoring incase audio output is unavailable from the display.

Engage your followers with pro-style switching of your live-streamed content using the VR-1HD AV Streaming Mixer from Roland. The VR-1HD AV mixer can switch up to three HDMI inputs and stream up to 1080p30 Full HD video. Combine cameras, webcams, games, smartphones, and tablets. The VR-1HD AV mixer is compatible with multiple video formats and incorporates two XLR mic inputs and dedicated line inputs for adding professional audio to your stream. Video Follows Audio, Beat Sync Switching, and Auto Scan modes provide three options for single-operator switching—no director is required. An Auto Mixing function enables you to preset audio preferences so your sound remains balanced with your selected channels receiving priority.

Combine switching, audio mixing, and USB streaming into a single device, and you get the Roland VR-4HD HD AV Mixer. Four channels of HD video and 8 channels of audio can be mixed down with preview and program (main) video outputs with minimal fuss. Advanced digital processing removes many of the hurdles of a professional A/V setup, and consumer-friendly HDMI, VGA, composite, XLR/TRS, and RCA inputs support readily available video and audio equipment. The USB output lets you take advantage of HD video streaming over the web using popular streaming platforms or advanced multi-source videoconferencing and offers the ability to record straight to your hard drive for distribution. The interface on the VR-4HD features both tactile controls and a touchscreen for an intuitive and comprehensive control surface where all necessary controls are at the operator's fingertips. Physical faders offer precise audio adjustment, while the built-in multi-view LCD features a touch interface for accessing set-up parameters and adjusting picture-in-picture settings with simple swiping gestures

Inspired by user feedback on the first version of the VR-50HD, the Roland VR-50HD MK II Multi-Format AV Mixer with USB 3.0 Streaming provides key updates to the already powerful unit that integrates an audio mixer, video switcher, multiviewer touchscreen and USB video/audio streaming into a stand-alone device. This portable live HD production solution combines the functions of a video switcher and an audio mixer, and it is ideal for use at live events, schools, churches, council meetings, and corporate events. The VR-50HD MK II features four video input channels, either SDI, HDMI, RGB/Component, composite, or a combination. It supports SD, HD, and computer-based signals in either NTSC or PAL standards, with selectable frame rates, and will scale input video to match the selected output resolution.

The Roland V-4EX Four Channel Digital Video Mixer with Effects is a live production switcher and web streaming device that improves on the Roland V-4 Video Mixer by adding a built-in multiviewer with touch control screen and HDMI in/out, with 1080p/RGB WUXGA (1920 x 1200) support on one input, and 1080p output. You can switch between four video sources and deliver via HDMI, RGB Component, composite video and stream via the built-in USB port. Four built-in frame synchronizers, one per input, allow you to support and cleanly switch input video from sources that are not gen-locked. This unit is well-suited for clubs, concerts, worship, events, weddings, education and sporting events.

The XI-DVI DVI-I Expansion Interface from Roland is meant for use with the V-1200HD Multi-Format Video Switcher.

The XI-SDI SDI Expansion Interface from Roland can be used with the V-1200HD Multi-Format Switcher and the M-5000 Live Mixing Console.

The Roland VC-100UHD 4K Video Scaler/Converter/Streamer is a powerful A/V signal management solution for live events, fixed installations, and livestreaming. Reference in and out ports allow you to incorporate the VC-100UHD into your existing facility's infrastructure, or you can take it with you on location. This compact and flexible half-rack unit features Roland's Ultra Scaler, allowing the VC-100UHD to simultaneously scale, convert, and stream your video to multiple destinations over SDI and HDMI as well as supporting USB livestreams. It supports 10-bit 4:4:4 video signals, that conform to REC. 601, 709, and 2020 color gamut. It also supports native DCI 4K signals as well as UHD and 1080p, and it can handle higher frame rate video in 1080p up to 240 fps over its HDMI input.

The Roland VC-1-SH SDI to HDMI Video Converter allows SDI video to be monitored using relatively inexpensive HDMI-equipped displays, and can also serve and an audio embedder and de-embedder. The internal processing has been designed to faithfully preserve the incoming SDI signal and frame rate without introducing interlacing artifacts, signal errors, or reducing the dynamic range of the image. The SDI signal is re-clocked before processing to help ensure best performance.
