AUX bus

Live streams, HD recording, and confidence monitors often have different visual needs from the main program output. Switch any of the connected input sources to any of the four SDI or HDMI outputs without affecting the main PGM destination. AUX Linked PGM enables AUX output to synchronize with the Program (PGM) output.

Multi-view output

V-60HD can preview all six video inputs and two still images, PGM and PVW to a single preview monitor via the Multi-view output. In addition, you can display the menu on the Multi-view display, so you make setting changes without changing your focus from the preview display. From Ver.2.0, exchanging PGM and PVW window and editing label name of IN1 to 6 are possible.

AUDIO

The V-60HD features an 18-channel audio mixer which includes four XLR/TRS Combo jacks with 48v phantom power, RCA stereo Pair, plus audio de-embed from the six video inputs.

A built-in effects library added from Ver 2.5 is packed with presets for common production scenarios including interviews, ambient sound recording, and eliminated wind noise when recording at field. Anyone can easily set up without audio knowledge.

Audio Mixer with preamp and dynamics (compressor)

The V-60HDs’ preamp and dynamics effects include a high-pass filter, gate, compressor, a 3-band EQ and delay. Anyone without audio knowledge can run sound thanks to the built-in effect's library packed with presets for common production scenarios including interviews, ambient sound recording and elimination of “pops” & wind noise.
Allowing the AV operator to focus on video switching, the onboard intelligence automatically crafts the perfect mix for conferences and panel talks.

Auto mixing

The included Auto-Mixing function ensures the correct mix for multiple panel participants at conferences by automatically adjusting levels across multiple audio sources. A priority weighting assignment that is channel specific can be set giving the moderator or priority audio channel a higher volume level while using the Auto-Mixing function allowing the operator to focus on video switching and production.

Discreet Multi-Channel Audio Embedding

Assign up to eight analog audio inputs a separate audio embed channel on SDI 1 and 2 outputs to ensure a separate mix pre-effect (dry) or post effect (wet) for correcting audio problems post live event. This feature is additionally useful for multi-language events to record the voice-over or language translation on its own audio channel to a separate master.

SMART TALLY

Roland’s innovative Smart Tally wireless tally system strengthens camera operator confidence and ends the hassle of custom made tally cable harnesses. Configured using standard IP protocols, Smart Tally turns smartphones, tablets, computers or ANY web browser into a fully functioning tally light including GREEN for Preview and RED for Program.

REMOTE CONTROL

Extending the V-60HD’s audio mixer with outboard USB control surfaces is an economical alternative to using a dedicated full-size audio mixer. 3rd party USB MIDI control devices are instantly recognizable by Mac and Windows PCs including the V-60HD Remote Control Software.
