Roland V-1HD Compact 4 x HDMI Input Switcher Compact and portable, you can bring the V-1HD and use it anywhere! Feature packed and easy to use for high-quality HD video results. The V-1HD makes it easy to connect and switch video cameras, smart phones, computers, tablets, Blu-ray players and other HDMI video sources with a simple push of a button or slide of the T-Fader. It supports professional compositing effects such as picture-in-picture and keying allowing for graphic insets, titling or even "green screen" ideal for news broadcast or corporate training productions.

This portable HD switcher supports four inputs of HD video. It allows you to select 1080i, 1080p, or 720p as your input source. Each input incorporates a frame buffer/TBC that allows you to use non Gen-locked cameras as well as play-out devices as video sources. You select the broadcast system (59.94/50 Hz) within the menu. The format selector switch is a global switch that affects the input and output format. However, with the switch in either of the 1080 options, the V-1HD enables input of both 1080i and 1080p signals.

The built-in, 12-channel audio mixer allows you to de-embed audio from the HDMI stream, mix, and re-embed the audio into your output stream. The audio mixer is accessed by a connected PC running the available software.

Included in this bundle is the Roland CB-BV1 carry bag for the V-1HD. The CB-BV1 is the perfect accessory for your Roland V-1HD or V-1SDI Video Switcher. Lightweight and durable, it features a rugged exterior and thick internal padding to shield your switcher when you're on the go.
