Roland V-1200HD digital video mixer HD

Hybrid Engine 2 M/E processor and switcher for broadcast and live

Mode 2 M/E

This provides a standard 2 M/E style of operation. Two keyers can be used with each M/E . The priority of the keys can also be assigned and changed. Not only is video source indent from M/E 1 to M/E 2, but also reverse indent from M/E 2 to M/E 1. This means that you can switch the two M/Es and bring them out of a single PGM output. The two M/Es can also be issued independently allowing applications such as the simultaneous transmission of captions in two different languages.

1.5 M/E mode

This is the most performant style of operation , able to use PGM/PST files as output stage in addition to M/E 1. All four keyers can be used in M/E 1. You can freely change the priority of each keyer and even copy keyers. This mode allows complex mixing operations such as switching a video source with four compositions to another single video source.

Mode 1 M/E

This is a simple style of operation using 1 M/E + 4 keys . In addition to using PGM/PST files on the mainline, two AUX buses can be used. This mode allows discrete video feeds to be switched and routed to additional outputs, making the V-1200HD the ideal primary switcher for a variety of live and broadcast applications.

4:4:4 multi-format processor

There are two scalers between the 4:2:2 engine and the 4:4:4 engine, and two scalers between HDMI IN 3 and 4 and the 4:4:4 engine. These allow switching, dialing of self-keys and matrix output. The input signals from HDMI IN 3 and 4 can be sent in either 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 process , which means that if you choose the latter, you will get clearer images on your computer. With scalers it is also possible to display a single image on two screens.

Operation

A dedicated Roland V-1200HDR controller provides fast and precise operation. Dual touch monitors provide quick and easy operation. All the features required to operate a high-end switcher, in an efficient compact format. It also features multi-format support for a wide range of inputs and outputs. Two expansion slots are provided for even greater compatibility.

Applications

The flexible workflow and functionality support a wide variety of live production applications.

Television studios

A wide variety of video effects enhance broadcast studio productions. Dialing with freely selectable priority can be achieved using the four scaler-equipped keyers. The system also features high-level Chroma Key, as well as External Key, which is essential for compositing titles. In addition to PGM and PVW output, two AUX buses are available for output (when in 1M/E mode).

Live performance production

Multiple M/E choices enable a wide range of video production applications in a single switcher. The V-1200HD is ideal as a master switcher for concert recording as well as a live feed . Through a variety of multi-view functions, even a large number of sources can be checked at a glance. The M/E configuration can be varied as desired to meet production needs. Control of up to seven remote cameras ensures creative productions even with limited operators.

Events and conferences

Equipped with HDMI input and output with multi-format support. Freely mix computer and video sources and stream to a wide range of displays and devices. In addition to ten 3G/HD-SDI inputs, the V-1200HD features four HDMI inputs. Six 3G/HD-SDI and two HDMI outputs are also provided. Among them, the two HDMI inputs and outputs offer multi-format support. Computer sources with different resolutions and frame rates are supported without the need for video converters. The signal is passed directly to the 4:4:4 process, so it can be output, unchanged, at the same high resolution.

Classrooms and event rooms

Support a rich range of control such as video/audio hub. Comprehensive routing functionality enables the conversion and distribution of a large number of video sources in a variety of formats. The Roland V-1200HD can also achieve remote hub operation of video/audio sources from a variety of control terminals and programs . In addition to simple video switching, the system also offers features only available on production switchers, such as distributing PinP video to various locations.
