XS-84H: 8-in x 4-out Multi-Format AV Matrix Switcher

The Roland XS Series - the new line of Multi-Format Matrix Switchers designed for fixed installations requiring high-quality integrated video and audio conversion and switching. The series is very adaptable supporting eight HDMI, RGB/Component/S-video/Composite inputs and up to HDMI or HDBaseT outputs with scalers to support picture-in-picture, resizing, rotating, and flipping. Audio can be embedded into outputs via 8 stereo audio inputs (2 mic) and/or HDMI audio as well as de-embedded on output. Additional features include iPad control, EDID emulation and HDCP management. Main Features
  • Inputs: 8 HDMI and 8 RGB/Component/S-video/Composite analog video
  • Outputs: 2, 3 or 4 HDMI and 2, 3 or 4 HDBaseT (*Switchable HDMI or HDBaseT per output)
  • Support for maximum resolution of WUXGA and 1080p, with built-in scalers
  • 8 stereo line inputs (2 mic compatible with 48V phantom) with built-in AD/DA conversion andembedded/de-embedded HDMI audio
  • 16 channel (8 stereo) digital audio mixer with audio digital effects (HPF, 4 Band EQ, noise gate/expander,and compressor) and outputs delay.
  • Support for RS-232C, network, and iPad control
Integrated Video and Audio Environment
  • The XS series offers an integrated environment for routing and switching HDMI and analog sources and digital displays. The series enables high-speed switching for HDMI, RGB, component, S-video, and composite video, as well as routing for up to four outputs.
  • The series features EDID emulation for HDMI and RGB signals, managing EDID information between the display and HDMI source to ensure a stable system environment for HDMI. The HDCP key master feature maintains authentication information for each HDMI source enabling high speed switching under 5 frames.
  • The powerful DSP enables the switching and mixing of audio input as well. Up to four audio mixes can be created from both analog audio inputs as well as embedded HDMI audio inputs. The resultant mix can be embedded back into the HDMI/HDBaseT output as well as analog audio outputs.
High-quality Video Processing
  • The XS series has up to four internal scalers provided with compositing functions (*). It can scale individual inputs of HDMI, RGB, component, S-video, or composite video and output the results in a format suited to the system. Scaling can be adjusted in single-pixel increments enabling display of video that fits any screen exactly. *When compositing functions, all outputs are fixed to the same format.
  • Resolutions up to WUXGA/1080p are supported for both input and output. Deinterlacing interlaced video for output as a progressive signal is also possible.
  • Video signals can be flipped vertically and horizontally, or rotated 90 degrees. Using this in combination with scaling makes split-picture output possible.
  • The Preview Out function enables the user to check a video source before sending it to an output. The Presentation mode enables the operator to view guides lines indicating the main screen output size.
Integrated Video and Audio Environment
  • The XS series achieves sophisticated sound processing thanks to the built-in audio DSP technology from Roland. Along with eight HDMI audio inputs, the series can accept eight stereo analog audio inputs as well. For audio-level adjustment, in addition to using the unit's knob, detailed settings can be configured by remote control from an iPad or external controller. Monitoring volume levels is convenient with the level meter display on each output.
  • The XS series accommodates mic-level audio input on two channels. A built-in ducking function enables lowering the volume of other audio during microphone input.
  • The audio inputs are each provided with an internal high-pass filter, 4-band equalizer, noise gate/expander, and compressor.
  • The audio outputs are each provided with a 4-band equalizer, noise gate/compressor, and delay.
Integrated Video and Audio Environment
  • Using the Roland WNA1100-RL wireless USB adapter enables direct control from an Apple iPad installed with Roland XS Remote. Along with operating the unit, Roland XS Remote can be used to change settings instantly with its memory-recall function.
Application Examples A variety of applications for any event and installation. Conference Rooms The XS series can perform switching for up to eight computers and video devices. Systems comprising mixed digital and analog video sources in HDMI, RGB, Component, S-video, and composite can be configured. For audio as well, up to eight stereo channels of input can be switched and mixed. The ducking function also makes it possible to lower audio-line volume when someone speaks into a microphone. Performing output using HDBaseT enables transmission of 1080p high-definition video over Cat5e cable to HDBaseT-compatible equipment up to 100 meters away. Classrooms The XS series can switch between HDCP-protected HDMI video from computers and smart phones and still-image data saved in internal memory. It can also display a school emblem while in standby with no equipment connected. Built-in compressors, EQs, and HPFs on the input lines enable adjustment of mic and line audio. output on up to four HDBaseT lines makes it possible to transmit video to sub-displays. Event Halls and Churches The XS series supports component, S-video, and composite feeds in addition to HDMI and RGB, making it ideal for event halls equipped with sources in various media formats. Mulit-screen productions become possible with the different video modes. The horizontal mirroring and cropping functions enable the creation of laterally symmetrical video output while still sending a wideshot to the lobby. 4K Mode The XS-84 is capable of switching four video lines as a group, enabling configuration of a 4K system. Switching a mixture of video feeds that includes 4K, HD, and SD sizes as well as up to WUXGA and other computer video formats is also possible. Teleconferencing Solutions The XS series features four internal buses each for video and audio. It can be used to create minus-one audio, enabling incorporation into teleconferencing systems. Events and Conventions The XS series is equipped with eight ports each for HDMI and RGB/Component/S-video/Composite input, giving it enough capacity to accommodate even large conventions. Previewing output is possible as well, enabling adjustment of the positioning, scaling, and aspect of the input signal before output. The compositing functions make it possible to composite different types of informational screens separately from the main screen, for output to monitor displays visible to presenters and performers.
