Control all the advanced functionality of your V-1200HD switcher with the Roland V-1200HDR Control Surface. Enclosed in a sleek, modern chassis, the V-1200HDR provides a professional physical control surface for the V-1200HD with dual LCD touchscreens for monitoring and control, a large T-bar for effects and transitions, customization and operation of the mix effects buses, HDMI video outs, and a plethora of buttons for source switching.

Dual 7" LCD Touchscreen Displays    Transition Control with T-Bar    16 Cross-Point Controls    HDMI Video Out    Redundant Power Inputs

Dual touch monitors let you display different GUIs on the left and right. Incoming video signals from the HDMI connectors on the rear panel can also be displayed.

This broad range of cross-point switches affords a commanding view of 16 sources at one time. This is also switchable to either PGM/PST or flip/flop according to operator preference.

Controls the PTZ parameters on up to 7 connected remote cameras.

In addition to an AC adapter, the unit can be powered by 12V battery. Connecting both at the same time provides redundant power.

Q: 1. Hi, all can anyone confirm the el gato hd60s can sucessfuly recieve the signal from the roland V-1HD? thanks

A: This combination is unknown and untested. However we feel it should work.

Q: 2. Can this production switcher handle 2-2.5k footage?

A: The max resolution that this switcher can handle is 1080p, it does not work with a 2k or 2.5k signal I'm afraid. We do have the ATEM Production Studio 4k, which can handle a UHD 3840 x 2160 signal. However even that model does not offer support for 2k or 2.5k, those are not resolutions supported by production switchers in general at this time.

Q: 3. Can a VGA to HDMI converter be used to connect a non HDMI computer to the Roland V-1HD?

A: Yup, input 4 have upscale compatibility.

Q: 4. Does it scale hdmi inputs?

A: Yes it does.

Q: 5. how to disable the audio from the HDMI cable?

A: Hold down the audio button in the settings area. Look for inputs. Turn down the volume on all inputs one through four to disable audio on HDMI inputs

Q: 6. Does this do picture in picture - as in channel 1 HDMI in channel 2 HDMI ?

A: Yes it does. The Roland V-1HD does both Picture-in-Picture and Split Screen effects. You will be able to have HDMI Channel 1 inside HDMI Channel 2, and vice versa, using the PIP effect.

Q: 7. What is displayed on the menu output? The camera views?

A: You will be able to see all 4 of your HDMI input previews and programs.

Q: 8. What does it mean when the HDMI input keeps blinking white when I feed from my computer? It does not show anything.

A: The most common reason for blinking input lights are a disconnected or bad cable, as noted in the previous answer. However, you will also get this if your computer is outputting the wrong resolution or frame rate. Unlike many monitors, the V-1HD unit cannot scale resolutions. Instead, it only accepts 720p (if the FORMAT switch on the back is 720p) or 1080i/1080p (interchangeably, if the format switch on the back is 1080i/1080p), which are the common HDTV resolutions. Similarly, your computer output must match the frame rate selected in SETUP (50 or 59.94 Hz, although 60Hz is close enough to 59.94). Unlike most TV sources, computers can output video at a lot of different resolutions and frame rates, and so if you get either of them wrong (check your computer's video settings!) the V-1HD won't be able to use the signal and will give you a blinky button. I use my V-1HDs with computer sources all of the time, but am very careful to keep the computer's video output at 1080p/60 at all times.

Q: 9. Two questions about the V1HD switcher...1) When would you ever use the freeze button on this thing? I'm trying to figure out what it does and why it has it's own button? And also, can it be changed to do something else?2) Can the PREVIEW output be changed somehow to just show the Preview clip? In other words, I know it is used to show the multi view, but can that be switched somehow to show something else like the Preview clip (for instance if I wanted to check focus on one particular camera before I cut to it), while the Program/OUTPUT has the main live feed output like normal?Thanks!

A: The freeze button is a common thing found on a production switcher. You may want to freeze on a moment and from there switch to a live feed, even the same camera now rolling live again. It is an effect that you may find useful. The button cannot be programmed to something else I'm afraid. The preview HDMI output can be set to either the Multi-viewer or a 2nd output for the program. It cannot be set as an ISO on a specific camera. The V1HD is designed to be a more basic, yet affordable option. You could look in to a more advanced switcher like the Datavideo SE-2200 that has multiple, assignable outputs. The SE-2200 will allow you to have a preview out.

Q: 10. I've heard this mixer isn't compatible with Cerevo encoders. Can you confirm?

A: We have not had any issues with Cerevo pairings, except for some newer gear that processes h.265, which would then have issues when using this switcher.
