Roland has announced the VR-4HD High-Definition AV Mixer, billing it as an easy-to-use, compact and portable A/V mixer that integrates a digital audio mixer, video switcher, multi-viewer touchscreen and USB video/audio streaming interface into a stand-alone device.
Designed as an all-in-one HD AV Mixer with built-in USB 3.0 for web streaming and recording, the VR-4HD represents a complete HD studio in a compact and portable package that replaces several different pieces of complex A/V equipment. With single-person operation in mind, the VR-4HD enables switiching and mixing of sound and video using advanced video and audio DSP, along with dedicated hardware control faders, buttons and touch screen interface.
As a portable live HD production switcher, it is intended for use in schools, churches, council meetings, corporate events, sports, training sessions and other live events.
The VR-4HD is expected to be available during Q1 2017, at an estimated RRP of £3,500.00 inc. VAT (subject to confirmation during Q1 2017).
