The VR-50HD MK II Multi-Format AV Mixer is the next evolution of Roland’s industry-leading, all-in-one AV switcher with USB 3.0 streaming. Easily operated by a single person, the VR-50HD MK II continues to deliver best-in-class connectivity and flexibility, allowing you to work a wide range of events with different I/O requirements. The powerful VR-50HD MK II is a completely self-contained AV solution, consolidating video switching, digital audio mixing, multi-viewer touchscreen control, and USB AV streaming into a single unit that’s simple to run. And with the comprehensive rear patch panel, it’s quick and easy to make on-the-fly input assignments to cross-points on the switcher. With the VR-50HD MK II, you can send any of the connected input devices to a dedicated Aux output without affecting the main PGM destination. Use the Aux assignment panel buttons to switch the source, or synchronize the Aux output with the PGM (mixer) output to act as a built-in distribution amp. Drilling down into menus while switching is a thing of the past, thanks to dedicated broadcast-style buttons for Aux, PinP, and Still sources. Select, Solo, and Mute buttons are included for all audio channels, speeding up the monitoring process. And with the large touchscreen multi-view monitor, you can view and assign inputs, display up to four still images, execute preview/program functions, and much more. Offering a number of automation functions the VR-50HD MK II allows a single operator to switch video and mix pro-level audio at the same time. Use Auto Mixing to balance audio levels, Video Follows Audio to switch cameras based on sound input, and Anti-Feedback to automatically tame howling mic feedback. Adaptive noise reduction helps with noise canceling and hum suppression. The VR-50HD MK II is also equipped with a variety of standard audio production inputs, including four XLR/TRS combo jacks with 48 V phantom power, four stereo pairs (two ¼-inch and two RCA), and embedded audio from 3G/HD/SD-SDI and HDMI. Built-in support can directly control select JVC, Panasonic, Sony, PTZOptics, Avonic and VISCA compatible PTZ LAN cameras. Up to six PTZ cameras can be operated at once via the LAN port. Use the same technology as webcams to reach worldwide audiences by plugging into a computer via USB 3.0 and using a streaming service that's able to use a webcam as its source.

The VR-4HD is a complete HD studio in a compact and portable package that replaces several different pieces of complex A/V equipment. Designed with individual operation in mind, the VR-4HD allows for easy video switching and mixing of audio and video using advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP). Along with dedicated hardware controls faders, buttons, and touch screen interface. It beautifully integrates a digital audio mixer, video switcher, multi-viewer touch screen, and USB video/audio streaming interface into a stand-alone device. This portable live HD production solution is ideal for schools, churches, council meetings, corporate events, sports, training sessions, or any other live event. The VR-4HD features professional quality broadcast controls and switches ensuring more accurate and faster operation than interfaces based on a computer style mouse and keyboard. The ability to simultaneously switch video with the push of a button and adjust audio with the push of a fader is invaluable and puts all essential features at the operator's fingertips. The inherent multi-see screen is likewise a touch screen interface for getting to set-up boundaries, making it incredibly simple to alter various picture settings progressively by hauling the inset window onto the screen.
