This compact, rack-mountable 6-Channel Roland 6-Channel HD Video Switcher with Audio Mixerfrom Roland can switch between 3G-SDI, HDMI, and RGB sources along with two still images stored in the internal memory. PGM/PST, dissolve, and matrix video switching modes can be selected, allowing for a wide range of applications. The XS-62S features an 18-channel audio mixer which includes four TRS jacks, an RCA stereo pair, and audio de-embedding from the six video inputs.

This integrated solution supports presentation/performance/special event venues, corporate AV conferences, and classrooms for e-learning. The XS-62S is a 1 RU unit with front panel control buttons and a menu screen. It can also be controlled from a Windows PC or Mac using the real-time remote control software.

This all-in-one switching and audio mixing system streamlines the production process to create content. The XS-62S is controlled from either the front panel controls or remote control software of a Windows PC or Mac.

The XS-62S is designed for hotel meeting rooms, banquet halls, houses of worship, and live performance venues. The auto-mixing function automatically balances incoming audio sources such as microphones from a discussion panel. The audio processing also includes advanced effects such as EQ, dynamics, and delay for mixing vocal speech along with music and other audio embedded in video sources.

The XS-62S is suitable for live streaming and web conferencing systems. A PTZ camera can be controlled from the switcher while video is being switched by the same operator.

The broadcast cross-point buttons are backlit with brightness control for use in bright daylight or dark performance spaces. A menu screen and volume knobs for adjusting audio are both accessible on the front panel.

The XS-62S has multiple switching modes to best suit the app. The PGM/PST mode operates as a traditional video switcher complete with video compositions that enable grouping multiple images on one screen. The Dissolve mode allows for video switching and composition with cross-dissolve to the PGM bus. Operated from the front panel, this mode is suitable for a system where the user directly operates the main unit in a meeting space or event. The Matrix mode allows for individual video input signals to be output to three different destinations on three buses. This mode is effective for routing signals and is ideal for events and using multiple screens.

The PiP function can select circle, heart, or diamond shapes in addition to traditional square or rectangle shapes. The DSK function allows you to overlay titles, lyrics, and logos on top of composited video. Both luminance key (black/white) and chroma key (blue/green) functions are available.

The XS-62S preamp and dynamics effects include a high-pass filter, gate, compressor, 3-band EQ, delay, and an ability to select an audio-follows-video channel so the audio passes through when a specific video source is selected. Dynamics can be adjusted from the on-screen menu or accessed through the remote-control software for Windows or Mac.

The included auto-mixing function ensures the correct mix for multiple panel participants at conferences by automatically adjusting levels across all audio sources. A priority weighting assignment that is channel-specific can be set giving the moderator or priority audio channel a higher volume level while using the auto-mixing function.

Assign up to eight analog audio inputs to a separate audio embedded channel on the two SDI outputs to ensure a separate mix pre-effect (dry) or post-effect (wet) for correcting audio problems post-live event. This feature is additionally useful for multilanguage events to record the voice-over or language translation on its own audio channel to a separate master.

The wireless tally system uses a wireless LAN router connected to the XS-62S to send tally information to iOS or Android devices on the network.

Achieve multiple camera angles for fixed installations by controlling up to six PTZ cameras using VISCA protocol. You can save and recall seven position settings for each camera.

The RCS software application for Mac or Windows PC provides setup and control information for the switcher through a network port. You can copy, store, and recall memory (backup) and preset settings. The XS-62S is equipped with RS-232 and LAN ports for control and operation remotely from a touch panel or other programmable interface device.

Q: 7. can i use it for mac?

A: If you are referring to setting up the switcher then I am afraid not, that will be only with a Windows computer. However it does have HDMI inputs if you wanted to feed a Mac in to it as a source.

Q: 8. Does the mixer have an option to turn on/off HDCP?

A: We're afraid not. This switcher does not offer HDCP controls, you will not be able to connect HDCP compatible products to it. Instead you could look at the Roland V-1HD Portable 4 x HDMI Input Switcher, which allows for HDCP compliance to be enabled. https://bhpho.to/2gRuG3C

Q: 9. Will the Datavideo DE-650 record each input into a separate MP4 video file?

A: Unfortunately it will not. That is not possible with this switcher. For ISO recording of each input you'd need to look at Software and Computer Based Switching solutions. The Telestream Wirecast Gear 110 is a great option to consider, BH #TEWCGEAR110. https://bhpho.to/2kPYog8

Q: 10. Do all of the video inputs need to be of the same resolution/frame rate with this switcher (like Blackmagic ATEM products)?

A: Yes. The resolution of the switcher can be easily changed in the menu setting, but all video formats need to be the same. Datavideo does offer the DAC-70 as a cross converter which would be able to change your video source to the proper resolution.
