The Edirol V-4 is a powerful, easy to use four-channel video mixer capable of switching between four cameras or video tape decks during a live performance with smooth transitions and special effects. The V-4 is an affordable solution for the video needs of houses of worship, schools, and nightclubs.

High Quality Digital Signal Processing
Video sources are processed completely in the digital domain for professional video quality (13.5MHz, 8-bit, 4:2:2). The V-4 is ideal for use on large screens, and because the internal processing is digital there is no quality loss to the output signal.
Two Channel TBC / Frame Synchronizer
Input sources go through independent two-channel TBC (Time Base Correction) circuits and two-channel frame synchronizers to ensure smooth transitions and stable images.
Two-Channel Digital Effects
The V-4 features two independent channels of video effects that include a rich selection of digital effects including colorize, strobe, mirror, multi-screen, negative, field freeze, frame freeze, solarize and color filter. The V-4 also features composition effects such as picture-in-picture, chroma key, and luminance key. A single button press can recall the effects.
Preview Function and On-Screen Menu
The V-4's preview function is controlled by the source selection button, and allows monitoring of each of the four input sources or the output source before transition, to a single preview monitor. The V-4's major functions can be viewed on preview screen using the convenient On-Screen Menu.
Memory Function
The V-4's memory function allows the memorization and convenient recall of panel settings, such as effect assignment to each button. The memory stores up to eight configurations and keeps stored settings even with the power off.
Synchronization with MIDI Equipment
The V-4 features video transitions and effects that can be synchronized with MIDI. The BPM (beat per minute) of transitions and effects can be made to follow the beat of a music track by using the TAP function. The functions of the V-4 can also be controlled via MIDI equipment such as a MIDI keyboard controller. The V-LINK feature allows the triggering of clips, video effects and transitions in real time when connected with the optional Edirol DV-7PR Digital Video Presenter.

        Comments about Edirol / Roland V-4 Four Channel Video Mixer:

        Great product and is very simple to use. It is a must have device if you have more then one video source. I am mixing two camera feeds, computer and DVD into our live recordings. T-bar is very sensitive and responsive which is important. You can also rotate the T-bar from vertical to Horizontal position. V4 comes with a lot of effects, about 200 to be precise, PIP, which is great for VJs. Again, it is Easy to use, very comfortable and it doesn't take a lot of room. Recommended for Churches, VJs, and other live production events.
        CONS: When you switch the source manually (without using Tbar) it has this really quick glitch which is almost unnoticable, but it's there. But it doesn't bug me much because i use Tbar most of the time anyway.

          Comments about Edirol / Roland V-4 Four Channel Video Mixer:

          This is the second unit we purchased for our Church venues. Our volunteers have found it very easy to use for switching between DVD, computer media and live camera feed. The special effects come in handy from time to time, but the transitions are great for our medium sized crowd of around 600.
