Professional Grade Production. The Roland V-60HD Multi-Format HD Video Switcher offers a suitable option for live production & streaming needs in a variety of venues, such as corporate settings, education, house of worship, theater, and more. This is considered to be a true multi-format video switcher, meaning it doesn’t require input sources to be matched to output resolutions. The V-60HD combines the best of live event production and streaming, including SDI inputs for camera sources and scaled HDMI inputs for data, computer, tablet, and other video sources. The switcher incorporates XLR and RCA analog inputs, as well as de-embedded audio from digital SDI or HDMI sources.

Inputs & Outputs. The V-60HD offers four SDI inputs and two HDMI inputs enable switching camera and computer sources at the same time for dynamic presentations, while the built-in deinterlacer in the SDI inputs allows you to mix and match 1080i and 1080p SDI sources and multiple cameras without external converters. Using the V-60HD’s auto-mixing function enables automatic balancing of audio levels from multiple microphones and video sources, freeing up the operator to focus on switching the video for the event. Multi-destination outputs include Program, Preview, and AUX buses, making it easy to send the main output to the primary screen, stream live, and send notes to a presenter’s monitor.

Multi-Channel Functions. The multichannel audio embed function can be used to record eight discreet audio channels to an SDI video recorder, allowing you to fix audio issues or separate multi-language audio sources later in post. The V-60HD’s user interface is easy for novices and can be controlled remotely through the LAN port using Roland’s Remote-Control Software for PC or Mac. For fixed installations, the V-60HD functions can be remotely controlled through the RS-232 port.

Designed For Destination. The V-60HD is portable and small enough to be used in locations that vary in size, from an intimate office to exterior meeting locations. This switcher features professional broadcast cross-point buttons with PGM/PST LED color indicators, a rugged T-bar for DSK quick-edit knobs for key level and gain, two dedicated PiP and Split buttons with knobs for center framing of Split and PiP placement, a transition dissolve time knob to change transition type using either mix or two preset wipe buttons, and a 3-inch front-panel LCD display with quick-access menu navigation allows you to adjust switcher parameters.
