Roland V-1HD+ Compact 4 x HDMI Video Switcher

Roland's V-1HD+ Compact 4 x HDMI Video Switcher is a portable solution for HD video production that accommodates up to four HDMI inputs, as well as PC resolutions over one of the inputs. Each input has a frame buffer/TBC and supports frame rate conversion, so you don't need to genlock your input sources together. You can control the switcher manually by using the built-in controls or remotely via RS-232, and it has a tally output for working with live cameras. Select your working resolution and switch between 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 on-screen menu display. The V-1HD+ also features a four-layer effects engine that supports keying effects, PiP, 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.

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.
HD Switcher
This compact HD switcher has four HDMI inputs, supporting HD video and PC resolutions. Each input incorporates a frame buffer/TBC that allows you to use non-genlocked cameras and play-out devices as video sources. You select the broadcast system (59.94/50 Hz) within the menu.
Audio Mixer
The built-in 14-channel audio mixer allows you to de-embed audio from the HDMI stream, mix, and re-embed the audio into your output stream. In addition to the embedded audio, the V-1HD+ supports analog audio input via two 3-pin XLR, a left/right pair of RCA connectors, and a 3.5mm stereo mic input.
Audio
Each audio input has its own three-band equalizer, high-pass filter, compressor, and noise gate, plus a sync delay to align audio with video if needed. The XLR and 3.5mm inputs also include de-essers to clean up vocal sounds in real time. The built-in limiter, three-band equalizer, and compressor on the main outputs enable you to deliver broadcast-quality sound over the analog audio outputs.
Live Stream
You can record or live stream the output of the mixer by connecting to a computer
Control Buttons
The soft-rubber backlit buttons allow you to easily see the condition of your switcher, even in dim lighting conditions. The V-1HD+ features the standard source, preview, mix, cut, and auto buttons, fader bar, and fade in/out knob, as well as four physical memory buttons that allow you to quickly choose up to eight presets for stills and effects sources.
Recording
The unit has a record control button that allows you to start and stop recording to select Atomos recorders via HDMI.
Four-Layer Effects Engine
The V-1HD+ supports up to four composition layers, making it simple to add lower-third titles, logos, social media comments, and more for a polished professional output that will keep the attention of your audience.
Keying
The keying functionality permits picture-in-picture, as well as green screen and graphics keying.
Video Effects
Transition: Cut, mix (dissolve/FAM/NAM), Wipe (8 types)
Composition: PiP (square, circle, diamond), split (2 types), keyer (luminance, chroma), DSK (luminance, chroma)
Other: Flip horizontal, flip vertical, still image capture, still image playback, output fade (audio, video: white or black), test pattern output
Memory
The memory button allows you to save or recall up to eight presets, and the Freeze button can temporarily pause the incoming video.
Panel Buttons
These buttons can be used to switch your video instantly or to apply effects.
Transitions
The T-bar lets you control the speed of your selected transitions.
Still Image
The switcher can store up to four files in its internal memory and supports the following still image formats:

  • Bitmap file (.bmp): Maximum 1920 x 1080 pixels, 24-bit color, uncompressed
  • PNG file (.png): Maximum 1920 x 1080 pixels, 24-bit color (PNG alpha channel not supported)

Roland UVC-01 USB Video Capture

The Roland UVC-01 USB Video Capture allows you to connect an HDMI source to your computer to integrate the signal into your live streams. Simply connect your HDMI-equipped camera, switcher, game system, or other device to the HDMI input, and then plug the UVC-01 to your computer's USB port using an included USB cable. The UVC-01 supports up to uncompressed 1080p60 resolution and works plug-and-play with Mac and Windows computers.

With your signal sent to the computer, you can use it in various streaming platforms, such as OBS, YouTube Live, and Facebook Live. You can also use your HDMI camera as a webcam using this device, so that you can capture higher-quality webcam video.

The UVC-01 features an ultra-compact and lightweight design and can easily be incorporated into your setup, and it's powered from your computer over the USB connection. While it supports embedded HDMI audio on input and output, it also offers a 3.5mm AUX audio input port for connecting independent audio.

Plug In and Stream
Once connected, the UVC-01 automatically shows up as a source in your streaming software, with no drivers or setup required. Like a dedicated webcam, it encodes HDMI to USB video class and USB audio class formats, letting you instantly stream at superspeed USB 3.0 with any service, platform, or application that accepts a webcam as its A/V source.
Embedded & Independent Audio
With the UVC-01, stereo audio is embedded in the HDMI feed along with video. And thanks to the dedicated audio input, it's possible to blend a secondary sound source as well. For example, you can play bumper music from your smartphone, or use Roland's GO-MIXER Pro to combine a mic and instruments for impactful musical performances.

Mighty Switcher for its Size

By William
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-01-23

This switcher is extremely versatile for the amount of space it takes up. Easily throwable in a pelican to take on a gig. I just wish the Auto Off feature stayed off when you reset the switcher.

The ultimate portable switcher

Fantastic product does exactly what intended to. B and H was very convenient because I needed to get 2 of these plus the 8 channel quickly for a national tournament and they were available.

See any errors on this page?

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.

Yes, you would just need an HDMI Capture device for your computer. Such as this option from Magewell. https://bhpho.to/37FKVhH

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.

question

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