Select your working resolution and switch between your four input sources. Built into the switcher is a 14-channel audio mixer that can de-embed and embed audio signals from HDMI.

The integrated T-fader allows you to manually control the speed of transitions, or you can use the "take" button to actuate your selected transition. The unit features two HDMI outputs, both of which are selectable between program and multiview (with up to 10 views on each output), and output #2 also supports an onscreen menu display. The V-1HD+ also features a four-layer effects engine that supports keying effects, picture-in-picture, and downstream keys. It has internal memory for four still images, and you can access external drives via the USB port as an additional image source.

V-1HD+ Portable 4 x HDMI Input Switcher
General
The V-1HD+ features PGM and PST busses, as well as a transition/fade bar (T-bar), which are industry standard video switching controls. Tactile audio volume knobs, signal/peak lights, and unity gain markers enable intuitive sound level adjustments on the fly.

Roland V-1HD Reviews

Great Mixer, questionable Capture Device

By Timothy
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2022-05-15

I purchased the V-1HD+ to replace an Atem Mini that had a program output HDMI die. The mixer has nice quality audio preamps and great functionality like audio delay and PIP etc... Great stuff until I realized the UVC-01 capture device was glitchy with OBS. I am getting audio and video stuttering that seems repetitive. All is well when I capture with my Elgato HD60+ I expected more from a Roland branded product sold as a pair... Frustrating as the capture card space is a mess. Tough to know what to trust.

Many of the same great features as the V-8HD. Less inputs, but better audio capability. Highly recommend. Easy to use, good scaling on one input, solid, reliable with easy keying and effects

Live Streaming bundle is a BIG HIT!!!

This Roland V-HD+ with the UVC-01 encoder is great. The ability for a novice to just hook it up and have it work is simply amazing. The quality of picture and sound is awesome. Thanks for the opportunity to get this great equipment and thanks to the B&H Photo team which is always knowledgeable, helpful and extra kudos for the price. Thanks!!

Pretty Good

I use this to switch between my phone, laptop, and DVD player while projecting for drive-in movies. Nice to have an input for XLR microphones, 3.5mm TRS out (i use it to send to an FM transmitter), and 1/4 TRS outs (to send to audio mixers or directly to powered speakers). Unlike BlackMagic ATEMs, this actually supports HDCP allowing DVDs to play. It does have built-in chroma keying, so I'm able to use H2R Graphics from my laptop to easily add live text and countdowns over video. Minus one star because the manual doesn't say anything about supported USB flash drives. I spent weeks trying to find one that would work with this switcher.... the only one that I found to work was a 256mb flash drive I got in 2004. I couldn't get anything over 1gb to work (trying Sandisk and Samsung drives), but a couple of 1920x1080 PNGs only took up 1mb each. Also, it only supports PNG and BMP file types. That is in the manual but I tried using JPGs before reading it. I think it's way overpriced, but it does exactly what I need it to, and at the time the ATEM Mini Extreme wasn't out yet, I needed a switcher with a multi-view out and program out so I could set up without a laptop. Well built metal case, RGB-LED buttons, some customization options in the menu.

Church Streaming Setup

By Jeffrey

Good live streaming entry level video switch. We are currently feeding three video sources, so opted for the 4-way for future expansion or a backup input should anything malfunction. Double check your connections to make sure you have the proper cable set when you purchase in addition to the switch itself. Double check connection types on the audio inputs. For streaming, we have shut off the inbound audio on the Sony cameras and instead opted to send a feed from an audio console (Behringer X32). All the connectors, including the audio connections, tend to creep, so at the beginning of each use, make sure all connections are tightly and fully inserted. We have experiences some audio and video drops due to loose connections. Locking inputs could help. Those were a few of the setup and runtime issues, as for the output, the features are great and so is the output up to 4K. You have a bank of video transition options and we use the window in window features to include our ProPresenter/PC Video feed in the main frame to help anyone with hearing disabilities during our singing. The auto-subtitler programs we have played with so far are not yet good enough for broadcast support in our opinion. Overall, we love the unit, we just did not give it five stars due to the occasional need to reseat HDMI and audio connectors ].

I love it

Needed this shipped overnight and B&H got it to me! Used it for a live event with four input sources and had to output to two laser projectors. Performed without a fault. This switcher rocks!

WORTH IT

By John
Rated 5 out of 5

It's expensive. But the balanced XLR inputs, stereo RCA in, aux in, balanced TRS outs and thorough iPad control are worth the extra expense. Layout is intuitive, metal box is sturdy as are the connectors. EQ/compressor/limiter on each channel and on master out. Brightness/contrast on all ins. Also saturation, color and zoom on input 4 scaler. PiP, split screen, etc. at touch of a button. After using Roland V-1HD+ I would not be happy with the more popular, cheaper competition. I don't know why B&H pics don't include screenshots of the iPad app. That's the best feature of this product. You can see them here - https://proav.roland.com/global/products/v-1hd_plus_remote/

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!
Asked by: Curt
There is no tally integration with this switcher and that is what is needed to operate tally lights.

question

Can this production switcher handle 2-2.5k footage?
Asked by: 3nityXcel
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?
Asked by: Gabriel B.
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.
Asked by: Ernie
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 ?
Asked by: John
Sorry this unit only supports 50/59.94. You would have to do a signal conversion from those frame rates.
