[Download] This Deal of the Day was a truly great deal.  Havent used it on a shoot yet, but did set it up with two cameras, a GoPro, and a Laptop, and its ready to rock and roll.  A lot of capability in a small package.  Looking forward to the first shoot with it.

[Download] easy to set up and use. Don't know it can hold a title slide image but other than that it is perfect.

[Download] This is an update to a previous review; Roland proactively contacted me based on my previous feedback (quoted as originally written below) and has done a great job of making things right and standing behind their product. Roland Technical Support was prompt and professional in exchanging the defective unit we had received initially for a replacement unit; in addition to the manufacturer's own burn-in and testing period, we've used the replacement switcher on some fairly hot days outside and the it has been stable. The surface of the switcher still gets noticeably warm, but no further crashes or instability have been reported from the field, and it does a great job of being a simple yet powerful little switcher. It's not without a few quirks and default settings that should always be checked - most notably, the sleep timer that isn't disabled by default - but it's a great value and for simple jobs, nice and easy to just setup and go compared to anything else in this price range. ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM 4/10/17, which this review replaced: Except for the fact that it has repeatedly overheated, in the middle of a show, dropping all inputs and outputs until it is manually power-cycled, it's a *fantastic* piece of gear. Until Roland comes up with a solution / better thermal design in hardware, it's probably best to stick with the older, more stable V-1HD and spend the money you'll save on a few SDI/HDMI converters....

[Download] Will update review as I log some more hours on this unit, as I havent had a chance to do much more than turn it on.

Was pretty blown away at the deal I got through B&H. First I bought a refurbished Roland V-1SDI for close to $400 off due to it being refurbished, I had been saving for this to incorporate live streaming into my business. Then one morning I log on, and the V-1SDI refurbished units are on sale in the Deal Zone for $499..... Take my money! Saved close to $1000 by buying refurbished on additional sale from B&H.

Currently have the rest of the cables/accessories to fully test the unit. Will update the review as I put more hours into the unit.

[1 User] I purchased mine from a different retailer here in Canada, I've had 0 issues with overheating or issues of that sort. I think a particular con that should be noted though, is that it does have fans, and like most other switchers I have used, in a quiet room it is relatively very loud for such a small unit. The ATEM TV studio had fins on the rear that you could cook eggs on when it was running, but it was silent. The ease of traveling with this thing is sort of life changing. I'll take its shortcomings (not many worth noting for price and size really) with grace. I highly recommend it.

[1 User] I have really been impressed with how robust this unit has been in such a small package. I love that you can also hook up and iPad for accessing the settings.

[Download] great features.. 95% of all i wanted in ..

[Download] Still working on a second order to get all the needed cables/accessories to fully use the Roland V-1SDI with my cameras but wanted to preemptively put a review on B&H.

I bought a refurbished V-1SDI through B&H while they were also on the Deal Zone. Ended up saving close to $1000 on my unit by shopping here. For a small business that is just starting to invest in mobile broadcasting, this incredible deal is helping my bottom line.

Will update this review as I get more hands on experience, till then kudos to B&H!
