V-600UHD4K HDR Multi-format Video Switcher

The V-600UHD has four HDMI 2.0 and two 12G SDI inputs, perfect for events needing several computer and video playback sources complete with IMAG camera support.

Every input supports independent scaling of HD, Full HD, UHD 4K, and DCI 4K, as well as PC resolutions from UXGA to DCI 4K—with no converters needed. Aux destination switching makes it easy to include down-stage confidence monitors, while the configurable multi-view monitor lets you see all your sources, programs, and previews. Each output also supports downscaling to Full HD for streaming encoders and HD-equipped displays.

Automatic ROI is a technology-assisted 4K to HD camera workflow blending facial tracking technology with Roland's multi-shot ROI feature. When paired with Canon's XF705/400/405 cameras, two of the V-600UHD's ROI windows automatically pan, tilt, and zoom to follow two people within the scene, generating dynamically smooth shots with no camera operators required. The straightforward setup requires just one HDMI cable and one LAN cable.

Embedded audio from digital video signals can be tricky to incorporate into the audio system at an event or performance. Superior audio management lies at the heart of the V-600UHD, with flexible 24-bit/48 kHz processing that lets you avoid problems before they occur. De-embed audio from the currently selected source and route it to an external sound console using the Audio Follows Video function. Or take audio from the same console and embed it in selected video outputs for sending to the web, a recorder, or an overflow room.

LED display technology has quickly become a versatile creative tool for event designers, whether serving as the background for a stage or a huge backdrop at a music festival. But when using IMAG cameras with a low-lit stage, bright LED background, and an SDR switcher, it’s difficult to light a presenter or performer standing in front of the LED—they just appear as a shadowy outline. Now, you can easily conquer these high-contrast problems. Just use an HDR camera and the V-600UHD to ensure that the subject always appears with the proper lighting.

Corporate events and festivals use pixel widths that exceed the HD format’s 1920 pixels. With the V-600UHD’s support for DCI Cinema 4K resolution, you can display images up to 4096 pixels wide and satisfy the creative visions of ambitious event designers. The incredibly high-quality “dot-by-dot” output scaling lets you directly connect to an LED display controller at the exact pixel dimensions—without the extra expense and increased latency of a dedicated scaling processor.
