V-800HD live video switcher is ideal for any live event or installation that requires freedom to connect any type of source whether it be digital or analog, computer or video format. Just like the design of the popular Roland V-1600HD switcher the V-800HD is a true multi-format video mixer meaning there is no need to match input sources to the output resolution. Every input has its own broadcast quality scaler that can individually scale, stretch, crop and zoom each source as required to fit any output resolution chosen. The V-800HD is HDCP compatible and also features a built-in multi-viewer output that provides a convenient monitoring solution when connected to an HDMI monitor. The eight mixing channels provide connectivity to 3G/HD/SD-SDI, DVI-A/DVI-D/HDMI, RGB, component and composite formats as well as an additional two channels for still images assignable via USB memory stick or frame grab. Newly developed key-compositing engine lets adjust phase range, amount of chroma and HSV color space parameters. Another key compositing feature includes an external keyer enabling CG titles and gradation clips, enabling impressive visual effects.
