I've been researching the V-1HD for a few months now, and this was the most in-depth, informative product review I've found. Thanks for putting this up, I'll be sure to check out your website as well!
Thanks for the input, got a second hand unit for grandchildren's party's 4 2 and 1. One tv 3 computers TH-cam etc did with a hdmi switcher, worked but !! Now next one like a pro.... Not easy explaining all that stuff well done. Kind regards Rob
Thanks for the Demo. Is there anyway to store an image/logo and assign it to a channel? I saw the freeze button on the unit. Does that freeze the output or the selected input? (could you freeze an image on a channel and disconnect the source device?)
sadly my laptop is pretty old. about 5 years old. but im willing to upgrade to what ever i need to make this project work. do you have a video about this topic? or please give me a list of what i need. also, would a game card capture device with a micro sd card. thank you
Uploading or live streaming directly from your laptop would be easier than transferring the video to your phone. You could use this Magewell capture dongle to get the video from the V-1HD to your laptop. www.dvestore.com/magewell-xi100dusb-hdmi-usb-3-0-capture-dongle-used-446/ Then you need some recording/streaming software. OBS is one option. obsproject.com/
Wow, Great video. I just bought one last year for my high school video production class but couldn't use it due to covid. We are back in school now and I need help. Video switching is all new technology for me. We are wanting to film high school sports and events. Where can I get more help? Thanks.
Great little demo. I am producing an event and need to have the switcher output go to a VGA input big screen projector and house audio board AND also record the video/audio. Is there a pass through recorder that can output both?
Thanks, Janet! You can get audio to the house board via the RCA Audio Outs on the back panel. You just don't want to be too far away because the unbalanced RCA cables are more prone to interference. You could record the program out with an Atomos recorder and then convert the HDMI loop-through to VGA for the projector, with something like this: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815820039
What an informative video! Can I stream to the web without the streaming services like Livestream, Ustream etc. If yes, would you please share how. Best,
Thank you for this video, very useful. Does the Roland V-1HD Video Switcher take full HDMI in and give it out that is 1080p and 720p. We purchased the Roland V-4EX only to discover that most of the HDMI inputs were 480.
Great in-depth review. Question: when I set up PIP, I cannot switch the main picture using mix or wipe, it cannot only hard cut. Is there a way to do have PIP and use Mix or Wipe to switch the main picture? Thanks
Can the FREEZE function be used a re-callable "go to/logo" from an image from laptop say, and be stored in the switcher to be recalled from one of the input channels?
I have an issue with the V-1HD mixer. I have two sony FDR 100 video cameras and two PTZ remote cameras plugged into the mixer. All are se to 1080p output and the Mixer to 1080p input. One of the Sony cameras works well the other a slightly older model and the two new PTZ cameras squish the output and the preview image in the vertical and sometimes has a copy of part of the image below or even above the moving image. What am I doing wrong as I would expect the roland to copy with all these cameras?
Hi, Pat! There are a number of built-in split screen effects, but they are all horizontal and vertical; no diagonal. No diagonal wipes either, unfortunately.
I just flew with our V-1HD Switcher tightly packed in a road box. When I set it up to do PIP with 2 inputs, No matter what input I go to in full screen the left half of the screen is pixelated and off orientation a bit and the right half of the screen is perfectly fine. It happens with both inputs and not in separate recordings of those sources. Do you think our V-1HD was damaged by baggage handlers or TSA inspectors. I'd love to get your POV on this. Other than this issue, the V-1HD has been great for our output. Thanks
Does this unit do live video switching? I'm looking at using this device for a podcast setup with two cameras. From my understanding the cameras would go into the V-1HD, out into a capture card (such as a Magewell, like you mentioned in a previous comment), and then into my laptop. Would that setup work? Are there any programs that you recommend to record this into? How would you run a Rodecaster Pro's audio into this? Via the RCA inputs? Thank you!
Thank you for the video! I have a question, if you decide to use two hdmi output without preview, can you output different images or it must be the same? Thank you! It seems nice! :)
Hi, Eduard: The V-1HD has two HDMI outputs; a program out and a preview out. The preview out can duplicate the program out or show fullscreen preview of the preset source; or it can show the multi-view of all the sources.
Thanks for the great video. Because of it I pretty much followed everything you said. But i have one question I have the v-1hd and a atomos ninja 2. I want to record like you did to the ninja 2 and I tested a blu-ray player to it but it will show up on the roland, but not the ninja. the ninja just shuts down like there is no feed.
The Ninja 2 will not accept 1920x1080 60p (59.94), you have to give it 1920x1080 30p (29.97). Or the problem could be HDCP. If the Blu-Ray is a commercially produced disc, it will be HDCP encrypted. The V-1HD can pass through HDCP content, but all devices in the chain must be HDCP compatible, which the Ninja 2 isn't.
Great video,thanks for this. At 18:20 you show very quickly how to run a white luma key. We were thinking of trying out green screen broadcasting. Would green be better? Does the Roland have an option for green luma key for the effects?
Hi, Mark! When you key out green, it's called a chroma key and when you key out the dark or light parts of an image, it's called a luma key. Yes, you can do chroma keying and luma keying with the V-1HD. Luma keying is generally used to overlay graphics over video. Chroma keying is generally used to replace the background in an image or video.
Do you know if there are any step-by-step instructions that exist on how to use this to overlay graphics? If not, would you be willing to type up a really quick 1-2-3 for this kind of action?
Selecting a Compositing Effect 1. Press the MEMORY button to display the MEMORY menu. 2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select EFFECTS A or EFFECTS B. 3. Use the A/B fader to select the compositing effect to assign to the EFFECTS A or B [ON] button. Compositing Using Luminance Key 1. Follow the procedure in "Selecting a Compositing Effect" to select "WHT-L.KEY" or "BLK-L.KEY." 2. Press the EFFECTS A (or B) [ON] button to turn on the effect (lighted). 3. Press the [A-1] through [A-4] and [B-1] through [B-4] buttons to separately select the background and the picture you want to display in the foreground. The video on the bus at the position where you turned on the effect in step 2 is displayed in the foreground. 4. Turn the [EFFECTS A] and [EFFECTS B] knobs to adjust the amount of effect applied. The [EFFECTS A] knob adjusts the amount of keying for the foreground video. The [EFFECTS B] knob adjusts the degree of edge blur for the foreground video. 5. To turn off an effect, press the EFFECTS A (or B) [ON] button a second time.
Hi, Duke: You can use the luma key or chroma key effect to superimpose titles over the video. You would create the title with a black background for luma keying, or a green background for chroma keying. You can load your graphic into the switcher with the RCS application found here: proav.roland.com/global/products/v-1hd/downloads/
Thank you for your informative video. One question, I notice the format switch. Is this only the output format? Do all hdmi inputs have to be the same format? We have a 1080I camera, and we hope we can have this flexibility with a new camera 2 (720p) as a fixed wide shot, and then the hdmi o/p of a laptop for keying.
From my reading of the spec, the format switch setting applies to inputs and output. All inputs must match resolution, so you can't mix 720 & 1080. You would need a 1080(p or i) camera 2, and a 1080(p or i) output from the laptop.
vMix itself can act as a switcher if you use a multi-input capture card to get your cameras into the PC. However, you could do the switching on the V-1HD and just use vMix for adding graphics and streaming. In this case, you would just feed the program output of the V-1HD into your PC by using a single input capture card, or a capture dongle if you are using a laptop.
+DVeStore, Inc. Waou such a great video. the video quality on the Atomos preview screen is just amazing. can you tell me free and paid sofware you use to record on the computer. i mean from the preview screen which software do you use to get the final video or the atamos preview screen record. Great job
+Tieyiwe Bassole Thanks! Yes, you can use the Atomos Ninja Assassin or an Atomos Ninja 2 to record the program output of the Roland V-1HD. Or you could use a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Recorder, or Decklink Mini Recorder, to record directly into your computer with the included Media Express software.
i have a little question about the audio, let's say that i just want to keep audio by HDMI 1 if i switch of HDMI video it will switch too or it will stay with the audio of HDMI 1 if i turn the audio off of the rest of the HDMI??? (i hope you understand my question thanks)
How long of cable do you estimate will keep full quality to the switcher. 12' ? 50'? without buying equipment that cost more than the initial cost of the Switcher. Looking up the longer runs on the lower end would run $250 X 2 = $500 per camera run.
I've tested 25' and 50' HDMI cables and had no problems. Make sure to use an HDMI cable rated as "high speed". I also tested a 100' HDMI cable, which would not give me a clean signal.
I haven't used the iPad app, but I have used the Mac app. Keep in mind, it is not wireless. You will need to connect the iPad to the V-1HD via a lightning to USB adapter.
Your computer (input 2) seems to be flickering a lot, almost as if it's an interlaced signal that's not being deinterlaced properly. Is that a common problem with this mixer? Or did you just happen to have the computer set for 1080i when all the other inputs were 1080p? (I guess as a corollary, do all four inputs have scalers so you can use a different resolution from the output?)
just an update edit. I watched this again on my plasma tv, xbox 360 via youtube app and there is no flickering at all at the computer screen web browser input 2... why is that?
My thought is that because you were watching it at full HD resolution, on an HD display, that the image was not subject to the scaling artifacts that can be present when the video is played in a smaller window.
Great video! Wondering if you might be able to help me. I want to use this device in order to live stream. I am using OSB and Kaltura (live streaming much like youtube I guess). What HDMI to USB or Thunderbolt device do you recommend? It would be nice to be able to capture to Final Cut Pro as well. Thanks so much for posting this video!
Thanks, Shane! The Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Mini Recorder works well to feed the 'program out' of the V-1HD into your Mac for recording and/or streaming. www.dvestore.com/blackmagic-design-ultrastudio-mini-recorder/
how much "scenes" can you set up? im speaking of a house of worship application and id like to have the option to have multiple scenes with different pip presets so i can switch between them with a touch of a button
Hi, Willihelm: The V-1HD doesn't have have PiP presets, exactly; but once you set up the effects bus for PiP, it's only a matter of hitting the effects bus button to turn on the PiP. If you want to switch sources, you just select a different source with the touch of a button.
+MrWillihelmdueck Yes, you have 8 memory presets on the V-1HD to select different PiP options for the V-1HD. Memory preset 2 could contain 1/4 pip and 1/2 pip and then memory preset 3 could contain your split screen HS or split screen vertical settings and so on. Adjustments can be made with the value dials to center your subjects in the case of using the unsqueezed split screen effect. This is a really slick feature in case your subjects are not perfectly centered in your image. You can simply recall the memory preset 1 to 8 to select a different PiP with a touch of a button.
I have 2 questions... How long the HDMI cable the V-1HD i can use... can i rec with the long hdmi cable...???? And What device machine can I use to record what i am filmilng... Thank you...
Both switchers will take four HDMI sources. The ATEM TVS HD has an additional four SDI inputs. Both can be controlled from a computer; the V-1HD via a USB connection and the ATEM via a network connection. The ATEM is rack mountable, the Roland is designed for desktop use. Those are a few of the differences.
Thank you, great video. Can I use an HDMI to VGA adopter to present using a LCD Projector? Have a 50' Run to projector. Appreciate the recommendations. The location has a ceiling mount LCD with an existing VGA setup.
HELLO i tried everything to connect Gopro Hero 5 black camera's from the camera's Hdmi output directly into de VH-1Hd but the only output signal i get is a small video stroke in the left top corner ...the rest of the outputscreen is black.. If i use an older Gopro Hero 4 and do the same the output is normal....can someone tell me what is gong wrong?
Hi,thank for video.I was trying connect I pad thru Lightening/HDMI cable,but mu video not playing on full screen,Any suggestions, which app better to use for full screen 16:9 output? thanks,
+Edgar Punculis I saw the same thing when viewing pictures from my iPod via HDMI. It could be a limitation of the iPod/iPad. It warrants some more exploration!
+Edgar Punculis The little fan on the V-1HD does make some noise and it's on all the time. In this setup there is also the Atomos Ninja Assassin, which creates some fan noise, plus my Macbook Pro. So, all the noise you hear is not from the V-1HD alone!
Hi, Dan: If it's a Mac laptop, you'll need a BlackMagic Design UltraStudio Mini Recorder that connects via Thunderbolt. If it's a Windows laptop, you'll need a capture device like an AJA U-Tap that works with USB3.
+Hans Madula The V-1HD does not accept 4K sources. It is an HD-only switcher. Are you referring to cameras that may be internally recording 4K, but outputting HD via HDMI into the V-1HD?
Yes, internally like the GH4, A7SII. Will it still output HD preview when Im recording 4K internally in my camera or would it not accept any signal at all?
+Hans Madula I just tested the V-1HD with the GH4 recording internally at 4K 30p and the downconverted HDMI at 1080p 59.94. It works very well and lag is minimal. I would guess 2 or 3 frames. FYI, you can't record internally at 4K 23.98, because then the downconverted 1080p output via HDMI will be at 23.98 as well, which the V-1HD won't take. Also, with the GH4, the HDMI output has to be set at 8-bit. If set to 10-bit, internal recording is disabled.
Thanks for watching, Sérgio! You can record directly to a computer with a capture device such as a MageWell USB Dongle. www.dvestore.com/magewell-hdmi-to-usb-capture-dongle/ Or a Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Recorder. www.dvestore.com/blackmagic-design-ultrastudio-mini-recorder/
Question about the decimator or converters that you show. I tried this system and it works fine with direct HDMI output but when I use the converters to extend using hd-sdi cables there is no signal at the other end. Every other combination I tried works. For example if I connect a laptops HDMI to the converters through the SDI the signal goes through fine. The only issue is when the Roland is sending the output hdmi to the converters to sdi to converters to hdmi there is no signal. I tried both the decimator and regular and 4k blackmagic transmitters. Any ideas?
So, you are converting the HDMI output of the V-1HD to SDI, for a longer run, then back to HDMI. Correct? How long is your SDI run? What device are you feeding the HDMI into at the far end?
Yes, running 100' then back to HDMI into epson projector www.google.com/search?q=epson+projector+wxga+7235&client=ms-android-att-us&source=lnms&biw=360&bih=592&prmd=svin&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjlo52TnajNAhXLOT4KHbERCoIQ_AUIBigB#spd=3407424768137583677&spud=0 The individual components all work when set up individually
Hi, Linda: I'm not too familiar with iMovie, but I don't think it has a capture function. What would work, though, is to use a Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Recorder to capture the output video, via Thunderbolt, to your Mac. You would use Blackmagic's free Media Express software to do the recording. www.dvestore.com/blackmagic-design-ultrastudio-mini-recorder/
Thanks for this vid. How is it possible to get video output to my laptop, because i want to stream with obs. Does i need a Capture Device or is it possible with the normal USB slot?
To get the program output of the V-1HD into your laptop, you will need an HDMI to Thunderbolt or USB3 capture device. If Thunderbolt, this: www.dvestore.com/blackmagic-design-ultrastudio-mini-recorder/ If USB3, this: www.dvestore.com/magewell-32060-usb-2-0-3-0-dongle-1-channel-hdmi-plug-and-play/
+health&fitness There are a number of 4K video switching options. The price tag is higher, of course. One of the most cost effective solutions is probably the ATEM Production Studio 4K. www.dvestore.com/video/streaming/rack-and-location/rack-mount-video-components/blackmagic-design-atem-production-studio-4k/
DVeStore, Inc. i have that switch but the image from my mac is blurry, when it goes inside of this ATEM. i dont have that issue with other smaller switcher like cerevo or using wirecast
+DCM Pro The V-1HD does not stream directly to TH-cam. You will need to send the program out to a device like the Teradek Vidiu or the Livestream Broadcast--or use a Blackmagic Mini Recorder to send it to a Thunderbolt input on your computer.
Awesome video! Is there a way to turn off everything on the gh4 display?. I want to use the gh4 as a live feed camera to show up on screen at an event. But i dont want the audience to see the display (exposure, record, etc) is there a way??? Thanks!
Could I come out of the Hdmi output in the v-1hd into the Blackmagic Ultra Studio Design Express to record to the computer, and then use the hdmi output of the Blackmagic Ultra Studio Design Express into a Teradek to stream to TH-cam?
+DVeStore, Inc. Thanks for the reply. Any better suggestions for the Ultra Studio Express? I just need to send one signal for streaming and one signal to be recorded into the computer
+Tyler Bowen If your idea doesn't work, then just add an HDMI splitter to the output of the V-1HD. www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=8204&gclid=COO6mNXl5ssCFQWUfgodLOQBGw
+DVeStore, Inc. Thanks for the replies. One last question... The headphone jack on the side, does that monitor the audio in before effects, or the audio out after effects?
Hi! nice demo ;) Am i wrong or the V-1HD can´t take anything below 50p? I have cameras with 1080 25p and i also would like to ingest a 1080 25p in a teradek Vidiu (not the PRO one) ¿? :|
+DVeStore, Inc. A gopro, silver 4, a Sony Nex Ea50, a BMCC and and old Panasonic DvX 1080 25p only. Maybe a decimator for the panasonic..., but i don't know if another one would be needed for the main ouput before the vidiu (not the pro version). I would like to record a 422 version with a BM video asist, (it is ok 1080 50p and it has a loop hdmi), but then stream live 720 25p with the vidiu. Thanks for your reply !! ;)
I just tested the V-1HD with a GoPro Hero 4 and connected the output to a Teredek Vidiu Pro. The signal path looks good all the way through! I'd be happy to write up a price quote for you, whenever you are ready to purchase.
Hi, Evert: If you are using 720p, you will be fine, but the Ninja 2 supports only up to 1080p30. If you want to do 1080p50 or 60, you will need to step up to the Ninja Flame.
If you want to feed the program output to three nearby destinations, you can use an HDMI splitter. If the destination screens are distant, then using a Decimator MD-HX would allow you to convert the HDMI program output to SDI and send it to up to four destinations. www.dvestore.com/decimator-md-hx-miniature-hdmi-sdi-cross-converter-with-scaling-frame-rate-conversion/
Can anyone help me? I have this mixer and it works great, but for the life of me i have no idea how to add in lower thirds? My set up at the moment is the V-1HD connects via the Output into a BlackMagic Intensity USB3 shuttle, i then open the shuttle in Wirecast and i have my out put, i can use lower thirds on wirecast, but it means monitoring two programs at once. is there any way to load thirds directly into the v-1hd?
Hi, James! In order to do lower thirds in the V-1HD, you need to feed the prepared graphic into one of the inputs and use the luma or chroma keyer to remove the background. Frankly, if you have Wirecast, you will get better results there.
Ah okay since its like boxing, mma events im filming i'd have to have everything running on the go, so yeah wirecast sounds like the better option. Thanks for the quick reply and the help, Not sure if its your area of expertise, but on Wirecast my input framerate is 25FPS i can't change it for some reason there is no option to change input settings, in V-1HD its set to 1080i50, the Blackmagic Intensity is set to 1080i50 output to. Wirecast detects that its 50FPS in the input, but it says 25fps
Ahh okay i get you now, wirecast does show 1080i50, then states 25fps, i mistook 1080i50 as 50fps... I've not used the production switcher yet for a live event so not sure of the correct settings. Its a boxing show, so is 25fps sufficient or should be looking to set it at 50fps? Thank you for your help so far, its highly appreciated
+felipipi At this size and price point, I don't think XLR was feasible. If you need XLR, a compact mixer feeding into the V-1HD would do the trick nicely.
+Milton R. Quinones It is certainly possible, but going beyond the built-in luminance key effects requires a computer with hardware and software at double the price of the switcher--and it would duplicate much of the functionality.
Hi, would this be compatible for streaming to Twitch.tv with Open Broadcaster Software (OBS)? I mainly stream from gaming consoles like PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360. I like the keying feature that you were able to remove the white background, can I setup a live HD camera on HDMI with a green screen backdrop for the same effect? And thanks for your review.
+emagrev I'm not familiar with Open Broadcaster Software, but if the system will take an HDMI feed, then you are good to go. You can certainly do a live green screen key. Keep in mind that the live keyer in the V-1HD is not as good as one that you would find in software packages such as FCPX, Premiere Pro or After Effects.
+emagrev Unfortunately, I don't have any of those here for testing, but I'm assuming those consoles can put out an HDMI signal at 720p 29.97 or 1080p 59.94. If so, then no problem!
Here I am again sorry seems to be no end to questions. I asked B & H Photo if Panasonic HDC TM700 with HDMI mini out will work with on this mixer and they said no its 1080p 60 and 1080i 60 the switcher accepts only 1080 59.74 etc? Do you know if this is true. I was ready to buy one and this will change since I have 6 Panasonic HDC TM700s already. Any help from you will be appreciated as usual.
+The Reel McCoy Productions 1080p 60 is actually 1080p 59.94, so it will work fine! Don't forget to buy the V-1HD from the DVEstore: www.dvestore.com/pro-video/mixers-switchers/roland-v-1hd-compact-4-x-hdmi-input-switcher/
DVeStore, Inc. You got that right. I used to get good information from them in the past but it seems they have slipped like me in intelligence on newer gadgets. I am not doing to bad for a Senior Citizen. Yes I will buy it from your suggestion and list you as my referral. I assumed Blanking may still be in effect on 1 frame of video.
DVeStore, Inc. I knew about the frame sync I have been in video since the 2inch Quad days so that is a while. But things change a little. I was in doubt what information they told me about the TM700 working with this unit.
hi, if i want use cam cordeor for d live streaming wat ar the thing i need. for new small church dont have much, projector and 1 hdmi tv. please i need ur help
Yes! If you need a USB capture device, both AJA and Magewell make excellent ones. www.dvestore.com/aja-u-tap-sdi-usb-3-0-sdi-external-capture-device/ www.dvestore.com/magewell-32060-usb-2-0-3-0-dongle-1-channel-hdmi-plug-and-play/
Hi, Martin: You can send the program out from the V-1HD into your Mac by using an UltraStudio Mini Recorder, or you can go to a Windows machine by using a Magewell USB3 Capture Dongle. Then you can use the software of your choice for recording or streaming.
Hello DVeStore, I bough it it's very nice, but I would like to know, how I can record on computer and if I can use 50 meters HD cabel cuse one camera its a far from mixer

Great Presentation - Thanks. I'm Ordering mine ASAP.
7:43 starts the audio menu and 13:08 the video switcher in depth. Before this is peripherals for long distance signal conversion, SDI to HDMI
Thanks for the Demo. Is there anyway to store an image/logo and assign it to a channel? I saw the freeze button on the unit. Does that freeze the output or the selected input? (could you freeze an image on a channel and disconnect the source device?)
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Glad to be of service! Let us know if there are any other videos that we should be making.
Great review, have to check this Roland switcher!
Thanks for watching!
Great walk through ! Top Job !

is it possible to use my laptop to record the output of the Roland video switcher?
It certainly is possible. Does your laptop have Thunderbolt or USB 3?
sadly my laptop is pretty old. about 5 years old. but im willing to upgrade to what ever i need to make this project work. do you have a video about this topic? or please give me a list of what i need. also, would a game card capture device with a micro sd card.
thank you
jason, i basically want to record a 1080p 30 video on a micro sd card and insert that sd card to my cell phone and upload to youtube. please help
Uploading or live streaming directly from your laptop would be easier than transferring the video to your phone. You could use this Magewell capture dongle to get the video from the V-1HD to your laptop. www.dvestore.com/magewell-xi100dusb-hdmi-usb-3-0-capture-dongle-used-446/ Then you need some recording/streaming software. OBS is one option. obsproject.com/

Hi sir! can You try to setting the hand-on control in the midle when you switch 2 video. 2 video still in the midle screen? Thanks!
It would be nice to have a firmware update to be able use the USB to PC for live streaming, like the newly announced Roland VR-1HD.
Great little demo. I am producing an event and need to have the switcher output go to a VGA input big screen projector and house audio board AND also record the video/audio. Is there a pass through recorder that can output both?
Thanks, Janet! You can get audio to the house board via the RCA Audio Outs on the back panel. You just don't want to be too far away because the unbalanced RCA cables are more prone to interference. You could record the program out with an Atomos recorder and then convert the HDMI loop-through to VGA for the projector, with something like this: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815820039
Great Video.

Yes!
can you use webcams on this?
What an informative video! Can I stream to the web without the streaming services like Livestream, Ustream etc. If yes, would you please share how.

Thank you for this video, very useful. Does the Roland V-1HD Video Switcher take full HDMI in and give it out that is 1080p and 720p. We purchased the Roland V-4EX only to discover that most of the HDMI inputs were 480.
Yes, the V-1HD has three modes, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. It will not do standard definition at all :)
thank you so,much for posting this
You are very welcome.
Great in-depth review. Question: when I set up PIP, I cannot switch the main picture using mix or wipe, it cannot only hard cut. Is there a way to do have PIP and use Mix or Wipe to switch the main picture? Thanks
Can the FREEZE function be used a re-callable "go to/logo" from an image from laptop say, and be stored in the switcher to be recalled from one of the input channels?
I have an issue with the V-1HD mixer. I have two sony FDR 100 video cameras and two PTZ remote cameras plugged into the mixer. All are se to 1080p output and the Mixer to 1080p input. One of the Sony cameras works well the other a slightly older model and the two new PTZ cameras squish the output and the preview image in the vertical and sometimes has a copy of part of the image below or even above the moving image. What am I doing wrong as I would expect the roland to copy with all these cameras?
Please I need to get sound only from my audio mixer at church what audio setting should I use? Thank you.
In the audio menu, set all the other inputs' audio levels to "0".
Can you do a diagonal split screen with this or set up a transition that will achieve this?
Hi, Pat! There are a number of built-in split screen effects, but they are all horizontal and vertical; no diagonal. No diagonal wipes either, unfortunately.
I just flew with our V-1HD Switcher tightly packed in a road box. When I set it up to do PIP with 2 inputs, No matter what input I go to in full screen the left half of the screen is pixelated and off orientation a bit and the right half of the screen is perfectly fine. It happens with both inputs and not in separate recordings of those sources. Do you think our V-1HD was damaged by baggage handlers or TSA inspectors. I'd love to get your POV on this. Other than this issue, the V-1HD has been great for our output. Thanks
Does this unit do live video switching? I'm looking at using this device for a podcast setup with two cameras. From my understanding the cameras would go into the V-1HD, out into a capture card (such as a Magewell, like you mentioned in a previous comment), and then into my laptop. Would that setup work? Are there any programs that you recommend to record this into?
How would you run a Rodecaster Pro's audio into this? Via the RCA inputs?
Thank you!
Blackmagic Mini
Thank you for the video! I have a question, if you decide to use two hdmi output without preview, can you output different images or it must be the same?
Thank you! It seems nice! :)
Hi, Eduard: The V-1HD has two HDMI outputs; a program out and a preview out. The preview out can duplicate the program out or show fullscreen preview of the preset source; or it can show the multi-view of all the sources.
Great product and how can i get it, co's am in Uganda and how much is it thanks
Thanks for the great video. Because of it I pretty much followed everything you said. But i have one question I have the v-1hd and a atomos ninja 2. I want to record like you did to the ninja 2 and I tested a blu-ray player to it but it will show up on the roland, but not the ninja. the ninja just shuts down like there is no feed.
The Ninja 2 will not accept 1920x1080 60p (59.94), you have to give it 1920x1080 30p (29.97). Or the problem could be HDCP. If the Blu-Ray is a commercially produced disc, it will be HDCP encrypted. The V-1HD can pass through HDCP content, but all devices in the chain must be HDCP compatible, which the Ninja 2 isn't.
Great video,thanks for this. At 18:20 you show very quickly how to run a white luma key. We were thinking of trying out green screen broadcasting. Would green be better? Does the Roland have an option for green luma key for the effects?
Hi, Mark! When you key out green, it's called a chroma key and when you key out the dark or light parts of an image, it's called a luma key. Yes, you can do chroma keying and luma keying with the V-1HD. Luma keying is generally used to overlay graphics over video. Chroma keying is generally used to replace the background in an image or video.
Do you know if there are any step-by-step instructions that exist on how to use this to overlay graphics? If not, would you be willing to type up a really quick 1-2-3 for this kind of action?
Selecting a Compositing Effect
1. Press the MEMORY button to display the MEMORY menu.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select EFFECTS A or EFFECTS B.
3. Use the A/B fader to select the compositing effect to assign to the EFFECTS A or B [ON] button.
Compositing Using Luminance Key
1. Follow the procedure in "Selecting a Compositing Effect" to select "WHT-L.KEY" or "BLK-L.KEY."
2. Press the EFFECTS A (or B) [ON] button to turn on the effect (lighted).
3. Press the [A-1] through [A-4] and [B-1] through [B-4] buttons to separately select the background and the picture you want to display in the foreground. The video on the bus at the position where you turned on the effect in step 2 is displayed in the foreground.
4. Turn the [EFFECTS A] and [EFFECTS B] knobs to adjust the amount of effect applied. The [EFFECTS A] knob adjusts the amount of keying for the foreground video. The [EFFECTS B] knob adjusts the degree of edge blur for the foreground video.
5. To turn off an effect, press the EFFECTS A (or B) [ON] button a second time.
Hi, great video! Is there an option to come up from black/fade to black?
Thanks, Tom! Yes. On the upper left of the panel is an output fade knob. You can fade from or to black or white.
What is the easy way to add titles? Can you just use photo shop? or how does lower 3rd work ?
Hi, Duke: You can use the luma key or chroma key effect to superimpose titles over the video. You would create the title with a black background for luma keying, or a green background for chroma keying. You can load your graphic into the switcher with the RCS application found here: proav.roland.com/global/products/v-1hd/downloads/
Can we use it with Mixemergency ???
Wow, I really love this. Please I wish to know how to record the footage with a recorder
Thank you for your informative video. One question, I notice the format switch. Is this only the output format? Do all hdmi inputs have to be the same format? We have a 1080I camera, and we hope we can have this flexibility with a new camera 2 (720p) as a fixed wide shot, and then the hdmi o/p of a laptop for keying.
From my reading of the spec, the format switch setting applies to inputs and output. All inputs must match resolution, so you can't mix 720 & 1080. You would need a 1080(p or i) camera 2, and a 1080(p or i) output from the laptop.
I love this switcher..
Can this switcher work with VMIX..
If it can.. How do I set it up
vMix itself can act as a switcher if you use a multi-input capture card to get your cameras into the PC. However, you could do the switching on the V-1HD and just use vMix for adding graphics and streaming. In this case, you would just feed the program output of the V-1HD into your PC by using a single input capture card, or a capture dongle if you are using a laptop.
You didn't say anything about using this switcher for "Green Sreeen". Can this be done.
What is the red small screen that you use to record your videos I don’t see link for that?
It's an Atomos Ninja Assassin, which is outdated now. Here's the latest equivalent: www.dvestore.com/atomos-ninja-inferno-hdr-4kp60-recording-monitor/
Excellent overview. I am looking at this to add video to my existing audio podcast. What would be a good recorder the 1080P output? Thank you
+Roman Castro Vlog Thanks! Let us know if you have any questions.
What would be a good recorder for the 1080P output? The Ninja seems like overkill.
You could go with an Atomos Ninja 2 for quite a bit less.
+DVeStore, Inc. Waou such a great video. the video quality on the Atomos preview screen is just amazing.
can you tell me free and paid sofware you use to record on the computer. i mean from the preview screen which software do you use to get the final video or the atamos preview screen record. Great job
+Tieyiwe Bassole Thanks! Yes, you can use the Atomos Ninja Assassin or an Atomos Ninja 2 to record the program output of the Roland V-1HD. Or you could use a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Recorder, or Decklink Mini Recorder, to record directly into your computer with the included Media Express software.
i have a little question about the audio, let's say that i just want to keep audio by HDMI 1 if i switch of HDMI video it will switch too or it will stay with the audio of HDMI 1 if i turn the audio off of the rest of the HDMI??? (i hope you understand my question thanks)
Daniel, good question! You can set the V-1HD to stick with one audio source, no matter which video source you have switched to.
How long of cable do you estimate will keep full quality to the switcher. 12' ? 50'? without buying equipment that cost more than the initial cost of the Switcher. Looking up the longer runs on the lower end would run $250 X 2 = $500 per camera run.
I've tested 25' and 50' HDMI cables and had no problems. Make sure to use an HDMI cable rated as "high speed". I also tested a 100' HDMI cable, which would not give me a clean signal.
Thank You 50' should be sufficient. 25 ft. for small gatherings will be good as well.Thanks for your help
Jason, I purchased V-1HD as well. Have you tried to control it using an iPad?
I haven't used the iPad app, but I have used the Mac app. Keep in mind, it is not wireless. You will need to connect the iPad to the V-1HD via a lightning to USB adapter.
Okay Jason. Got my answer to my question from Roland. Use lightning to USB Camera cable for hookup.
Your computer (input 2) seems to be flickering a lot, almost as if it's an interlaced signal that's not being deinterlaced properly. Is that a common problem with this mixer? Or did you just happen to have the computer set for 1080i when all the other inputs were 1080p?
(I guess as a corollary, do all four inputs have scalers so you can use a different resolution from the output?)
Hi, Quentin: The V-1HD does not do scaling. I believe the flickering on the computer input was solely because of the fine lines on the website.
yeah I noticed the flickering too, that turns me off, is there a work around? I wouldn't want to produce something that has flickering like that.....
just an update edit. I watched this again on my plasma tv, xbox 360 via youtube app and there is no flickering at all at the computer screen web browser input 2... why is that?
My thought is that because you were watching it at full HD resolution, on an HD display, that the image was not subject to the scaling artifacts that can be present when the video is played in a smaller window.
Great video! Wondering if you might be able to help me. I want to use this device in order to live stream. I am using OSB and Kaltura (live streaming much like youtube I guess). What HDMI to USB or Thunderbolt device do you recommend? It would be nice to be able to capture to Final Cut Pro as well. Thanks so much for posting this video!
Thanks, Shane! The Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Mini Recorder works well to feed the 'program out' of the V-1HD into your Mac for recording and/or streaming. www.dvestore.com/blackmagic-design-ultrastudio-mini-recorder/
how much "scenes" can you set up? im speaking of a house of worship application and id like to have the option to have multiple scenes with different pip presets so i can switch between them with a touch of a button
Hi, Willihelm: The V-1HD doesn't have have PiP presets, exactly; but once you set up the effects bus for PiP, it's only a matter of hitting the effects bus button to turn on the PiP. If you want to switch sources, you just select a different source with the touch of a button.
+MrWillihelmdueck Yes, you have 8 memory presets on the V-1HD to select different PiP options for the V-1HD. Memory preset 2 could contain 1/4 pip and 1/2 pip and then memory preset 3 could contain your split screen HS or split screen vertical settings and so on. Adjustments can be made with the value
dials to center your subjects in the case of using the unsqueezed split screen
effect. This is a really slick feature in case your subjects are not
perfectly centered in your image. You can simply recall the memory preset 1 to 8 to select a different PiP with a touch of a button.
Can it flip video vertically individual inputs
Can you make the preview screen fullscreen to display just 1 source even when 4 are hooked up or does is it always defaulted to the 4 screen setup?
yes
You can switch the preview output to show program.
I have 2 questions...
How long the HDMI cable the V-1HD i can use... can i rec with the long hdmi cable...????
And
What device machine can I use to record what i am filmilng...
Thank you...
Is it possible to use this with MEVO cameras? Since they are wifi cameras, how would they interface with this unit?
The Mevo camera is intended to be switched with the Mevo app. There is no good way of connecting it to a hardware switcher.
Thanks for the demo. How does it compare with the BMD ATEM TV HD
Both switchers will take four HDMI sources. The ATEM TVS HD has an additional four SDI inputs. Both can be controlled from a computer; the V-1HD via a USB connection and the ATEM via a network connection. The ATEM is rack mountable, the Roland is designed for desktop use. Those are a few of the differences.
Thanks , having a tough time deciding between the two
Tell me what you want to do and perhaps I can shed some more light!
how would you hook up a wireless mic to this? xlr to 3.5mm or quarter inch to 3.5mm?
Yes! Wireless mics often come with an XLR to 3.5mm cable.
Thank you, great video. Can I use an HDMI to VGA adopter to present using a LCD Projector? Have a 50' Run to projector. Appreciate the recommendations. The location has a ceiling mount LCD with an existing VGA setup.
Thanks, Richard! An HDMI to VGA adapter should work fine to feed the projector.
HELLO i tried everything to connect Gopro Hero 5 black camera's from the camera's Hdmi output directly into de VH-1Hd but the only output signal i get is a small video stroke in the left top corner ...the rest of the outputscreen is black.. If i use an older Gopro Hero 4 and do the same the output is normal....can someone tell me what is gong wrong?
What size and framerate do you have the Hero 5 set to?
Hi,thank for video.I was trying connect I pad thru Lightening/HDMI cable,but mu video not playing on full screen,Any suggestions, which app better to use for full screen 16:9 output? thanks,
+Edgar Punculis I saw the same thing when viewing pictures from my iPod via HDMI. It could be a limitation of the iPod/iPad. It warrants some more exploration!
+DVeStore, Inc. thanks one more question . fan on device working preerty loud . on full power all the time. its normal ?
+Edgar Punculis The little fan on the V-1HD does make some noise and it's on all the time. In this setup there is also the Atomos Ninja Assassin, which creates some fan noise, plus my Macbook Pro. So, all the noise you hear is not from the V-1HD alone!
Do you need any converter to convert the output of the V-1 for input in to a laptop that will stream the content to sermon.net?
Hi, Dan: If it's a Mac laptop, you'll need a BlackMagic Design UltraStudio Mini Recorder that connects via Thunderbolt. If it's a Windows laptop, you'll need a capture device like an AJA U-Tap that works with USB3.
Hi. What happens to my preview output if my input sources are recording at 4K? Will the screen lag, etc.?
+Hans Madula The V-1HD does not accept 4K sources. It is an HD-only switcher. Are you referring to cameras that may be internally recording 4K, but outputting HD via HDMI into the V-1HD?
Yes, internally like the GH4, A7SII. Will it still output HD preview when Im recording 4K internally in my camera or would it not accept any signal at all?
+Hans Madula I just tested the V-1HD with the GH4 recording internally at 4K 30p and the downconverted HDMI at 1080p 59.94. It works very well and lag is minimal. I would guess 2 or 3 frames. FYI, you can't record internally at 4K 23.98, because then the downconverted 1080p output via HDMI will be at 23.98 as well, which the V-1HD won't take. Also, with the GH4, the HDMI output has to be set at 8-bit. If set to 10-bit, internal recording is disabled.
Hello Jason, Thanks for the demo. Can we record directly into a computer?
Thanks for watching, Sérgio! You can record directly to a computer with a capture device such as a MageWell USB Dongle. www.dvestore.com/magewell-hdmi-to-usb-capture-dongle/ Or a Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Recorder. www.dvestore.com/blackmagic-design-ultrastudio-mini-recorder/
Question about the decimator or converters that you show. I tried this system and it works fine with direct HDMI output but when I use the converters to extend using hd-sdi cables there is no signal at the other end.
Every other combination I tried works. For example if I connect a laptops HDMI to the converters through the SDI the signal goes through fine. The only issue is when the Roland is sending the output hdmi to the converters to sdi to converters to hdmi there is no signal. I tried both the decimator and regular and 4k blackmagic transmitters. Any ideas?
So, you are converting the HDMI output of the V-1HD to SDI, for a longer run, then back to HDMI. Correct? How long is your SDI run? What device are you feeding the HDMI into at the far end?
Yes, running 100' then back to HDMI into epson projector www.google.com/search?q=epson+projector+wxga+7235&client=ms-android-att-us&source=lnms&biw=360&bih=592&prmd=svin&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjlo52TnajNAhXLOT4KHbERCoIQ_AUIBigB#spd=3407424768137583677&spud=0
The individual components all work when set up individually
Does any signal going into the V-1HD have HDCP?
+DVeStore, Inc. is just camcorder and laptop so no
In the Decimator control panel, have you tried switching between SDI level A & B?
when you said a recording is done. Can I do that directly into my computer in iMovie?
Hi, Linda: I'm not too familiar with iMovie, but I don't think it has a capture function. What would work, though, is to use a Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Recorder to capture the output video, via Thunderbolt, to your Mac. You would use Blackmagic's free Media Express software to do the recording. www.dvestore.com/blackmagic-design-ultrastudio-mini-recorder/
Does it record iso? Can you record each individual video source separately to edit later
Thanks for this vid. How is it possible to get video output to my laptop, because i want to stream with obs. Does i need a Capture Device or is it possible with the normal USB slot?
To get the program output of the V-1HD into your laptop, you will need an HDMI to Thunderbolt or USB3 capture device. If Thunderbolt, this: www.dvestore.com/blackmagic-design-ultrastudio-mini-recorder/
If USB3, this: www.dvestore.com/magewell-32060-usb-2-0-3-0-dongle-1-channel-hdmi-plug-and-play/
Would this work with Livestream Studio as an input. My system uses a blackmagic intensity pro; that's the actual hdmi capture card that I have.
+bob conner It should work just fine, Bob!
How long cable can be, HDMI? I am plan to do home studio
A good, high speed HDMI cable can go 50 feet.
what are the option if you want to do all that but in 4k?
+health&fitness There are a number of 4K video switching options. The price tag is higher, of course. One of the most cost effective solutions is probably the ATEM Production Studio 4K. www.dvestore.com/video/streaming/rack-and-location/rack-mount-video-components/blackmagic-design-atem-production-studio-4k/
DVeStore, Inc.
i have that switch but the image from my mac is blurry, when it goes inside of this ATEM.
i dont have that issue with other smaller switcher like cerevo or using wirecast
V-1hd can live stream on youtube ??? i need use any progame or hardware conect to stream ???
+DCM Pro The V-1HD does not stream directly to TH-cam. You will need to send the program out to a device like the Teradek Vidiu or the Livestream Broadcast--or use a Blackmagic Mini Recorder to send it to a Thunderbolt input on your computer.
i just fell in love with this device, but i'm not sure if i can afford it :(
Hopefully it will not be unrequited love, forever!
Awesome video! Is there a way to turn off everything on the gh4 display?. I want to use the gh4 as a live feed camera to show up on screen at an event. But i dont want the audience to see the display (exposure, record, etc) is there a way??? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! You need to go to "HDMI Rec Ouput" in the menu and turn "Info Display" to "OFF".
What kind of hardware you use for the recording?
Recording here with an Atomos Ninja Assassin. The current model is the Ninja Flame: www.dvestore.com/atomos-ninja-flame-4k-hdmi-hdr-recording-monitor/
hi if this switcher work good weth 5d mark 2 and 5d mark 3
Would this be good for game streaming? Or would this be overkill?
Could I come out of the Hdmi output in the v-1hd into the Blackmagic Ultra Studio Design Express to record to the computer, and then use the hdmi output of the Blackmagic Ultra Studio Design Express into a Teradek to stream to TH-cam?
+Tyler Bowen As long as the Ultra Studio Express will ingest and output simultaneously, that should work.
+DVeStore, Inc. Thanks for the reply. Any better suggestions for the Ultra Studio Express? I just need to send one signal for streaming and one signal to be recorded into the computer
+Tyler Bowen If your idea doesn't work, then just add an HDMI splitter to the output of the V-1HD. www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=8204&gclid=COO6mNXl5ssCFQWUfgodLOQBGw
+DVeStore, Inc. Thanks for the replies. One last question... The headphone jack on the side, does that monitor the audio in before effects, or the audio out after effects?
Hi, Tyler! You will hear any effects you have applied through the headphone output.
Hi! nice demo ;) Am i wrong or the V-1HD can´t take anything below 50p? I have cameras with 1080 25p and i also would like to ingest a 1080 25p in a teradek Vidiu (not the PRO one) ¿? :|
Hi, Rodrigo: I just tested the V-1HD with a Panasonic GH4 set to 1080 25p and it works well. What cameras are you using?
+DVeStore, Inc. A gopro, silver 4, a Sony Nex Ea50, a BMCC and and old
Panasonic DvX 1080 25p only. Maybe a decimator for the panasonic..., but i don't know if another one would be needed for the main ouput before the vidiu (not the pro version). I would like to record a 422 version with a BM video asist, (it is ok 1080 50p and it has a loop hdmi), but then stream live 720 25p with the vidiu.
Thanks for your reply !! ;)
I just tested the V-1HD with a GoPro Hero 4 and connected the output to a Teredek Vidiu Pro. The signal path looks good all the way through! I'd be happy to write up a price quote for you, whenever you are ready to purchase.
Dear DVeStore, Inc,
question: can I use a Ninja 2 with a Roland V-HD, and how?
Greetings, Evert.
Hi, Evert:
If you are using 720p, you will be fine, but the Ninja 2 supports only up to 1080p30. If you want to do 1080p50 or 60, you will need to step up to the Ninja Flame.
Question: how can I include in Avi, and I can
Are you asking how to record an AVI, or play back an AVI?
Hello! Say color correction is possible for each video signal?
Yes, you can make color/contrast adjustments to each input.
thank you
Is possible to split master output into 3 parts?
If you want to feed the program output to three nearby destinations, you can use an HDMI splitter. If the destination screens are distant, then using a Decimator MD-HX would allow you to convert the HDMI program output to SDI and send it to up to four destinations. www.dvestore.com/decimator-md-hx-miniature-hdmi-sdi-cross-converter-with-scaling-frame-rate-conversion/
hello do i need a interface to use this mixer thanks
Hi, Edwin! If you are referring to a video monitor, then the answer is yes.
can i used weth 5d mark 2
Can anyone help me? I have this mixer and it works great, but for the life of me i have no idea how to add in lower thirds? My set up at the moment is the V-1HD connects via the Output into a BlackMagic Intensity USB3 shuttle, i then open the shuttle in Wirecast and i have my out put, i can use lower thirds on wirecast, but it means monitoring two programs at once. is there any way to load thirds directly into the v-1hd?
Hi, James! In order to do lower thirds in the V-1HD, you need to feed the prepared graphic into one of the inputs and use the luma or chroma keyer to remove the background. Frankly, if you have Wirecast, you will get better results there.
Ah okay since its like boxing, mma events im filming i'd have to have everything running on the go, so yeah wirecast sounds like the better option. Thanks for the quick reply and the help, Not sure if its your area of expertise, but on Wirecast my input framerate is 25FPS i can't change it for some reason there is no option to change input settings, in V-1HD its set to 1080i50, the Blackmagic Intensity is set to 1080i50 output to. Wirecast detects that its 50FPS in the input, but it says 25fps
If you are sending 1080i50, that means 50 fields, or 25 frames. Wirecast is likely just stating the frames instead of the fields.
Ahh okay i get you now, wirecast does show 1080i50, then states 25fps, i mistook 1080i50 as 50fps... I've not used the production switcher yet for a live event so not sure of the correct settings. Its a boxing show, so is 25fps sufficient or should be looking to set it at 50fps? Thank you for your help so far, its highly appreciated
excellent
Thanks for watching, Alvaro!
Hello...Are hdmi inputs audio embedded?
Yes, the HDMI inputs bring in audio as well!
+DVeStore, Inc. Great👍👍👍Acuttaly this thing is not mentioned anywhere in specifications....thanks
Why HDMI with RCA Audio Out ? Not XLR ? why ?
+felipipi At this size and price point, I don't think XLR was feasible. If you need XLR, a compact mixer feeding into the V-1HD would do the trick nicely.
was watching and looking for something like it do you have a branch in South Africa
Would it be possible insert somehow Lower Thirds Graphics with computer software?
+Milton R. Quinones It is certainly possible, but going beyond the built-in luminance key effects requires a computer with hardware and software at double the price of the switcher--and it would duplicate much of the functionality.
How do you capture from Roland V-1HD?
Hi, would this be compatible for streaming to Twitch.tv with Open Broadcaster Software (OBS)? I mainly stream from gaming consoles like PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360. I like the keying feature that you were able to remove the white background, can I setup a live HD camera on HDMI with a green screen backdrop for the same effect? And thanks for your review.
+emagrev I'm not familiar with Open Broadcaster Software, but if the system will take an HDMI feed, then you are good to go. You can certainly do a live green screen key. Keep in mind that the live keyer in the V-1HD is not as good as one that you would find in software packages such as FCPX, Premiere Pro or After Effects.
+DVeStore, Inc. how about gaming consoles? Would the XboxOne/360 or PS4 compatible with the V-1HD?
+emagrev Unfortunately, I don't have any of those here for testing, but I'm assuming those consoles can put out an HDMI signal at 720p 29.97 or 1080p 59.94. If so, then no problem!
+DVeStore, Inc. is the USB only used for the app remote feature? does the V-1HD detect as a webcam when connected to a PC by the USB?
emagrev The USB connection is only for app based control. There is no video feed via USB.
Here I am again sorry seems to be no end to questions. I asked B & H Photo if Panasonic HDC TM700 with HDMI mini out will work with on this mixer and they said no its 1080p 60 and 1080i 60 the switcher accepts only 1080 59.74 etc? Do you know if this is true. I was ready to buy one and this will change since I have 6 Panasonic HDC TM700s already. Any help from you will be appreciated as usual.
+The Reel McCoy Productions 1080p 60 is actually 1080p 59.94, so it will work fine! Don't forget to buy the V-1HD from the DVEstore: www.dvestore.com/pro-video/mixers-switchers/roland-v-1hd-compact-4-x-hdmi-input-switcher/
DVeStore, Inc. You got that right. I used to get good information from them in the past but it seems they have slipped like me in intelligence on newer gadgets. I am not doing to bad for a Senior Citizen. Yes I will buy it from your suggestion and list you as my referral. I assumed Blanking may still be in effect on 1 frame of video.
+The Reel McCoy Productions The V-1HD syncs all the input sources so that switching is seamless and glitch-free.
DVeStore, Inc. I knew about the frame sync I have been in video since the 2inch Quad days so that is a while. But things change a little. I was in doubt what information they told me about the TM700 working with this unit.

Can this work with wireless transmitters?
It should. Which transmitters are you referring to?
