Roland is making a splash at this year’s InfoComm show in Las Vegas. In addition to the company’s complete range of pro audio and video solutions, Roland is showing its new live mixing consoles with ORHCA, multi-format video switcher, compact video switcher and multi-format AV matrix switcher.
Live Mixing Consoles
The new M-5000 and M-5000C Live Mixing Consoles are the company’s very first products based on the OHRCA platform. ORHCA stands for “Open High-Resolution Configurable Architecture” and provides a flexible, 96kHz native processing platform for installed or touring audio system design.
The M-5000, paired with Rolands REAC Ethernet transport protocol, create a live audio system capable of including multiple audio consoles, personal mixers for musicians, hardware recording, and audio transport and networking from multiple locations, allowing management of up to 300 inputs and 296 outputs at 96kHz. The M-5000 also integrates with Dante, MADI and the Waves SoundGrid (premiering at InfoComm as well).
The M-5000C includes many features of the M-5000 but in a compact form. It is ideal for theaters, portable churches, OB trucks/vans, touring or any application demanding power and flexibility in a small footprint.
Multi-Format Video Switcher
The V-1200HD is a Hybrid 2 M/E switcher and processor for live events that combines the features of a production switcher with the power and scaling capabilities of a presentation switcher.
Up to two operators can simultaneously switch and control functions on the Roland V-1200HD to independent program outs using the dedicated V-1200HDR Control Surface or free downloadable Remote Control Software (RCS). The V-1200HD can also control up to seven remote PTZ cameras and includes a 16-channel audio mixer with audio embedding and de-embedding, making it the ideal all-in-one solution for multiple applications.
Compact Video Switcher
The V-1HD is an easy-to-use, compact and portable switcher that can accommodate up to four HDMI audio/video sources with resolutions up to 1080p and features a host of professional compositing effects and creative video switching capabilities.
This product provides switching for up to four HDMI A/V sources including cameras, computers, tablets, smartphones and even Blu-ray players, thanks to its HDCP copy protection support. It has a 12-channel audio mixer for mixing stereo audio from HDMI and external stereo audio sources and its dedicated microphone input.
The V-1HD includes both HDMI program and multi-view preview outputs and a stereo audio output. Additionally, the V-1HD can also be controlled by the companion PC/Mac or iPad application when connected by USB.
Multi-Format AV Matrix Switcher
Lastly, the XS-Series multi-format AV matrix switchers are all-in-one solutions for applications that require seamless switching, input and output scaling, image cropping and screen processing. Featuring up to 23 different operation and switching modes, the XS Series provides switching of eight HDMI/HD component RGB/composite/S-video and audio inputs to up to 4 HDMI or HDBaseT output destinations with built-in scalers – enabling split-picture, resizing, flipping and rotating, spanning and switching across multiple screens, making them ideal scaler solutions for LED wall processors.
Support for RS-232C, network and iPad, PC and Mac control allows users various options for operation and programming.
