Roland V-60HD HD Video Switcher Plug-and-Play Production Switcher with Audio for Live Event and Streaming

Live event production and streaming continues to grow, and the demand for more features requires a sophisticated feature set. The V-60HD simplifies your setups and combines the best of both worlds with SDI inputs for camera sources and scaled HDMI inputs for data, computer, tablet, and other video sources. The combination of powerful audio features like multi-channel embedded audio, XLR and RCA analog inputs, and de-embedded audio from digital SDI or HDMI sources plus a variety of video connections with a Program and AUX Bus make the V-60HD ideal for a variety of live event production and streaming applications. This system update brings new AUX audio features introduced with the flagship V-160HD, including selectable dry, pre-fader, and post-fader AUX Bus settings, embedded audio to SDI, and expanded camera remote control compatibility. Corporate event production is the fastest growing live event space, with companies hosting town halls, meetings, training sessions, and new product announcements, both in person and streaming.

Video communication helps improve the effectiveness of education when used for streaming lectures, assemblies, distance learning, sports, live performances, or theater productions. The V-60HD is ideal for multiscreen environments found in churches, conference centers, hotels, and trade show facilities where different content needs to be switched to independent screens. Cut and mix with cross-dissolve transitions and up to 30 different wipe patterns. Time-based correction and frame sync provide seamless transitions between six video sources and two still images, eliminating the need to use buses. The newly added Auto Scan feature enables automatic switching, helping reduce operator workload. The V-60HD features professional broadcast Cross Point buttons with PGM/PST LED color indicators, a rugged T-Bar, and DSK quick-edit knobs for key level and gain. Use the dedicated PinP and Split buttons with knobs for center framing of Split and PinP placement, and change transition types using either mix or two preset wipe buttons with the dedicated transition dissolve time knob. There's also a three-inch LCD display with quick-access menu navigation to adjust switcher parameters. The V-60HD features an 18-channel audio mixer which includes four XLR/TRS combo jacks with 48 V phantom power, an RCA stereo pair, and de-embedded audio from the six video inputs.

Roland V-60HD HD Video Plug-and-Play Production Switcher Features:

• The V-60HD is portable and small enough to be used in multiple locations in an office or outside meeting location.
• The four SDI inputs and two HDMI inputs are perfect for switching cameras and computers at the same time for dynamic presentations.
• Not all cameras support full 1080p, so the de-interlacer on the SDI inputs allows you to mix and match 1080i and 1080p SDI video sources from multiple cameras without external converters.
• Audio is easier to mix than ever before using the V-60HD's Auto Mixing function.
• This automatically balances audio levels from multiple microphones and video sources, freeing up the operator to focus on video switching during the event.
• Multi-destination outputs that include Program, Preview, and AUX buses make it easy to discreetly send the main output to the primary screen or livestream and notes to a presenter's monitor.
• Auto Mixing automatically adjusts audio levels based on weighting, ensuring even levels for the room mix, presenter recording send, livestream, or in-room speakers.
• Educators can use the multi-channel audio embed function to record eight discreet audio channels to an SDI video recorder to aid in correcting sound issues in post-production or capture separate multi-language audio sources.
• The V-60HD's user interface is easy for students and novices to operate.
• It can also be controlled remotely from a computer through the LAN port using Roland's Remote Control Software (RCS).

• Dedicated AUX buttons make switching to a second destination as easy as switching to the main screen.
• A newly designed wireless tally system for iOS and Android devices makes for smoother events.
• This helps talent and camera operators identify which camera is currently selected for the program and which camera will be switched to next.
