Roland V-40HD mixer AV

Multi-format Video Switcher

The Roland V-40HD handles true multi-format video, meaning there's no need to match input sources to output resolution . Each input has its own broadcast-quality scaler that individually scales each source as required to match any output resolution you choose. This professional AV mixer boasts twelve inputs on four channels plus one (background), and 5 output connectors with independent scalers on the inputs and outputs that allow you to connect HDMI/DVI, RGB, component and composite sources. It supports input/output resolutions up to 1080/60p or 1920x1200. The V-40HD is HDCP compliant, which allows you to mix copy-protected Blu-ray and game content with other computer and camera sources. It features a multi-viewer output for input sources that provides a convenient monitoring solution when connected to an HDMI monitor.

The V-40HD features four input systems (Inputs 1 - 4). Each of these systems has three types of input connectors - HDMI, RGB/Component and Composite - allowing you to connect a total of twelve video devices. For output, the V-40HD provides three systems: Output (HDMI, RGB/Component, Composite), Output 2 (HDMI, RGB/Component), and Preview (HDMI). It supports 1080p video signals - twice the speed of conventional HD and uses internal 4:4:4/10-bit signal processing . This affirms all the vibrancy of the high realism, high detail of the camera and computer sources.

*Output signal processing is 4:2:2/8-bit.

The V-40HD features an HDCP mode that allows you to input and switch commercial digital video from sources such as Blu-ray Discs or game consoles encoded using HDCP digital copyright management technology. This allows you to produce videos with unlimited freedom; for example, composing a video feed from a Blu-ray Disc or tablet computer against a background from a live camera. Output to a display can be done via HDMI.
*Commercial use of the content requires permission from the copyright holder.
*In HDCP mode, only DVI-D/HDMI output can be used. The use of the component and composite output is not possible.
*The display or projector connected to DVI-D/HDMI output must support HDCP.

The V-40HD can input background music, narration or other analog sound sources, mix and synchronize the video and audio , and then output the result via HDMI.

• INPUT Selectors - Select between HDMI, RGB/Component, and Composite as the connector for each input. With a single touch, you can access the video source from any of the three devices plugged into their respective inputs.
• INPUT 1 - 4 connectors - Support for three formats for each input. [HDMI] Up to WUXGA, 1080p [RGB/Component] Up to WUXGA, 1080p [Composite] 480i or 576i The HDMI inputs support an embedded audio signal.
• AUDIO INPUT Mix analog audio into HDMI video - The V-40HD is equipped with inputs for analog audio equipment. This allows analog audio to be incorporated into the HDMI video output.

Exit

• OUTPUT Selectors - Three types of output formats to choose from. Select SD, HD or RGB with the push of a button.
• PVW (Preview) Selectors - Chooses the view displayed on a preview monitor. Select four-way split screen, PST, PGM or DSK to view. *Monitor output resolution and refresh rate are fixed at 1920 x 1080/60Hz (progressive). *Use an HDMI monitor that supports HDCP and 60p signals. *When INPUT (four-way split) is selected, sources are displayed using a reduced frame rate.
• Output Connectors - Connect monitors, projectors or recording equipment. [HDMI] Up to WUXGA, 1080p [RGB/Component] Up to WUXGA, 1080p [Composite] 480i or 576i *In HDCP mode, no video signals are output from the RGB/Component and composite connectors.

Effects

• DSK - ( Downstream Keyer) Composite logos and text in the output video. You can overlay logos and text on the composited and switched video. Scene transitions are possible under logos or text that remain displayed. - P in P Two images can be combined into one video image. You can select any of four positions for an input screen: top left, bottom left, top right, or bottom right. You can also adjust the internal screen size freely.
• WIPE PATTERN - Easy selection of video transition effects.
• VIDEO FADER - Switch sources at the speed you want. Using the video fader (T-bar) allows you to perform scene transitions, fades in and outs manually at the speed you want.

Functions

• MEMORY Saving Panel Settings - You can save the settings of the V-40HD to internal memory. Each of the five memory banks can hold five sets of settings, allowing you to save a total of 25 setups.

Control interface

• V-40HD controllable via any MIDI device - A Roland digital audio mixer such as the V-Mixer M-200i can connect to the V-40HD for audio-follows-video applications. Connect another V-40HD for more inputs.
• Use RS-232C for Integrated Remote Control - You can connect a computer, wall panel or other remote device and use it to control switching, effects and other operations.
• USB PORT to save internal memory - This allows you to connect a USB stick and save internal memory onto it.

The Roland V-40HD AV mixer also includes an audio input bus with volume and delay settings that allows audio to be embedded in the HDMI output signal, which is especially useful for streaming and recording applications.

The Multi-Zoom function can be activated when an input source is shared internally with up to three other inputs - essentially daisy-chained. The scaler for each input can zoom to any position in the video image giving the impression that additional cameras are connected - creating a virtual multi-camera environment. Additional effects include a down stream keyer (DSK), Picture-in-Picture and multiple transitions.

The unit is noise-free thanks to a unique, efficient heat-radiation design that eliminates the need for a cooling fan. Both MIDI and RS-232 are supported to allow for control and integration with various devices such as a V-Mixer for audio-follows-video applications or remote control using a wall panel.

The V-40HD supports a variety of creative production and system design options . The V-40HD's affordable price and powerful features allow willing customers to upgrade to an HD workflow. The V-40HD video mixer strengthens Roland's line of multi-format video mixers and is positioned to meet a variety of live event, corporate, educational, and worship video production needs using HDMI and computer sources.
