Roland's V-1HD 4 x HDMI Input Switcher is a portable solution for HD video production that accommodates up to four HD inputs. The inputs each have a frame buffer/TBC so you don't need to genlock your input sources together. You can control the switcher manually by using the built-in controls, or connect it to a computer or iPad running optional software for electronic control. Select your working resolution and switch between your four input sources. Built into the switcher is a 12-channel audio mixer that can de-embed and embed audio signals from HDMI.

question
Is there some way to incorporate tally lights with this unit? I need to make sure the talent knows which camera is live, so they can speak to the correct one. Thanks!
There is no tally integration with this switcher and that is what is needed to operate tally lights.

Yes, you would just need an HDMI Capture device for your computer. Such as this option from Magewell.

I'm in CANADA Toronto. Do you have a store?
No, I am an end user in Texas. I purchased the Roland V-1HD from B&H Photo in New York City.

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

question
how do i broadcast in youtube with this?
You need to encode the Roland's output so you can get it into your computer. Once in the computer, the video will mount on your desktop. Then open YouTube and select your video stream and you are on your way. Please see the attached for a recommended encoder, the Magewell XI100DUSB HDMI USB 3.0 Capture Dongle.

question
Will the V1 accept a HDMI signal from Panasonic HDC-TM700? I see 35' as a length for HDMI cables I tried on the Black Magic and it would't accept any HDMI signal from the Panasonic TM700 over 12'. That being the case I returned it since it didn't state that condition.
Generally speaking, an HDMI signal is not strong and weakens exponentially with distance traveled. I would blame the distance and the type of HDMI cable before any switcher. If indeed the switcher is not accepting the signal another does, I would still suggest getting a better cable. HDMI signals peter out 30-35' so if you are anywhere near that, you need HDMI cabling with booster circuitry. Please follow the link for a selection of longer distance HDMI cables. http://bhpho.to/1LRl5rv

question
Does this unit output 23.97fps or 29.97 fps at 1080p ?
Sorry this unit only supports 50/59.94. You would have to do a signal conversion from those frame rates.

question
how long does it takes to safely operate to avoid over heat the unit ?
In a climate controlled environment you should be able to operate this unit for hours without any offering heating issues at all.
