SWITCHER (Retail $659)
This HD video switcher has four HDMI inputs with frame rate conversion and onboard scaling, so each broadcast will go off without a hitch. To go along with its redesigned control layout, the V-1HD+ has excellent visual effects on tap, including picture-in-picture capability and a 4-layer effects engine. But that's not all this mixer can do! Roland included a 14-channel audio mixer with onboard effects to make sure your broadcast sounds as good as it looks. There's plenty of functionality baked into the V-1HD+
The audio section is great:
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
