Roland V-1HD+ Video Switcher

Descrizione

Just like you can now set up a full recording studio in a corner of your bedroom, the hulking gear that used to populate television production studios is also getting re-thought, shrunken-down and streamlined - excellent news for the audiovisual home producer. And, perhaps the ultimate visual-story-weaving tool comes in the sleek yet fuss-free shape of the Roland V-1HD+.

The Roland V-1HD+ Video Switcher

Connect up to four visual sources via HDMI - say, four video cameras set up to film four different shots of something like a YouTube debate - then use the control panel of the V-1HD+ to seamlessly flip from shot to shot, allowing you to edit the stream in real-time. The handle-fitted fader on the far right can be used to apply smooth shot transitions and various visual effects including picture-in-picture, a classic crossfade or mirror effects can also be manipulated and applied to add a professional edge. Chroma key is also supported, so you can set up a green screen and place your performer or speaker in any location imaginable, add animated features and really play with what's possible. In fact, inserting images loaded in via a USB stick is also no problem for this smart and ever-useful chunk of visual editing gear.

Other Awesome Features

To cover the audio with just as much detail, four stereo channels are also input via the fitted HDMI ports, and a further two XLR inputs, two RCA inputs, and a 3.5mm jack input are also provided for complete audio flexibility. Since this is definitely a Roland unit, you also get a nice bank of audio effects to play with, including delay, reverb, high-pass filtering, equalisation, compression, a noise-gate and a limiter - you even get a test tone. This complete television production studio in-a-box is loaded without countless further functions, all designed to support more ambitious online audiovisual content with a firmly professional edge.
