Roland Systems Group has announced a system update for its V-1600HD Multi-Format Video Switcher.
Addressing the requirements of using the V-1600HD in a live production environment – especially with LED walls – this update includes additional scaling functions to both the Program and AUX outputs in all modes.
Common LED video wall aspect ratio presets are included, such as 4:3, 5:4, 5:3 and 16:9, as well as a manual pixel accurate mode allowing any wall size or aspect ratio to be input. Using this setting, the source material can then be scaled within the output space with additional crop, zoom and position adjustments to hand. The V-1600HD now enables all video sources to be connected, converted and mixed directly to the LED video wall display. Two configurable outputs make it possible to drive both LCD/plasma/projectors and a LED video wall or curtain at the same time, eliminating in some cases the need for additional scalers between the video mixer and LED video wall processors.
This latest update to the V-1600HD also includes additional output formats, fade adjustments between memory recall, cropping of picture-in-picture sources and support for Midi Visual Control. The enhanced capability makes the V-1600HD a cost effective ‘all in one’ multi format front end to any LED video wall configuration as well as ideal for corporate presentations by being able to drive more than one display with different visuals on each.
The V-1600HD System Software v1.5 is a free update and can be downloaded at the RSG website.
