Roland VP-42H Video Processor Overview

This overview video will take a closer look at the VP-42H.

The Roland VP-42H Video Processor layers and arranges multiple video sources to a single screen with dynamic transitions. The four HDMI inputs and two duplicate HDMI outputs accept any HD resolution. The Roland VP-42H video processor offers customizable compositions for up to four inputs, with motion-based scene switching for a stunning visual impact taking the VP-42H beyond typical switchers. Not all events require creative display and advanced scene transition capabilities. For simpler scenarios, the VP-42H functions as a true cross-dissolve seamless switcher, with a keyer to create overlays and the ability to display still images via USB drive — perfect for logos and safety slides. The Roland VP-42H includes stereo RCA outputs for de-embedding audio from connected HDMI sources and outputting it to other devices such as speakers and mixers. Levels for each source can be set by the internal audio mixer, and if the VP-42H is being used as a compositor for recording or streaming, the audio from an external mixer or other sources can be connected to the RCA inputs and embedded into the HDMI output signal. Quickly configure scenes by using the web browser interface for the network-connected VP-42H. Each input’s layer can be scaled, cropped, zoomed and positioned by simply clicking and dragging. So even at a large event, a VP-42H connected to a big display will be up and running in seconds, letting you use a wirelessly connected tablet to set up compositions in no time.
