Product Overview
The V-8HD from Roland brings a world of creative options to live event switching. Versatile, portable, and reliable, its all-in-one hardware design gets rid of computer setup hassles and software-based crashes, while its HDMI workflow and loaded professional toolset streamline production and reduce stress on the gig.
Used by nearly all modern cameras and digital video devices, HDMI is the most common AV connector on the planet. This model seamlessly mixes 8 HDMI sources with Full HD support, even when the sources have mismatched frame rates and color spaces. And with onboard scalers on 2 of the HDMI inputs, you'll easily be able to interface with client-provided sources like computers, tablets, smartphones, gaming consoles, and legacy 4:3 devices.
Being able to meet the needs of creative professionals who require additional video inputs for layered graphics and visual effects, as well as business pros who often require multiple backup video sources, brings forth satisfied clients along with greater audience engagement. With its generous number of HDMI inputs and outputs, the V-8HD enables you to offer clients a vast amount of creative freedom—without adding to the budget.
Other great features include: Seamless Memory Recall; Onboard Multi-viewer Display; Audio Mixing with Effects; Automated Video Switching; iPad remote control app, plus Hands-Free Switching and Control using a BOSS brand single- or double-footswitch (sold separately).
Just connect to the UVC-01 via HDMI, plug into your computer’s USB 3.0 port, and start streaming to Facebook Live, YouTube, and other popular platforms.
