One Operator, Multiple Audiences

With the VR-120HD Direct Streaming AV Mixer, a single operator can confidently manage hybrid live and online productions without the need for external gear and the staff to run it. Offering extensive audio and video I/O, a large touchscreen, and hands-on controls, this portable powerhouse gives you the tools you need to take on any mid-level production. Advanced Roland AV features make difficult tasks simple with customizable workflows, deep automation functions, remote PTZ camera control, one-touch macro sequencing, streaming over LAN and USB, and much more.

Create Custom Experiences for Liveand Online Audiences

The VR-120HD’s flexible video capabilities let you handle the diverse presentation needs of events as they happen. Assign sources to eight cross-points on the fly, including live video inputs, still images, and video clips. Prioritize cameras and/or computer sources with scene recall. And create custom feeds for live and online viewers by assigning composition layers to multiple busses as needed.

HDMI and SDI Inputs

The VR-120HD supports both HDMI for common A/V devices and SDI for long cable runs and high-end cameras. Seamlessly combine six HDMI sources and six SDI sources in Full HD with a range of broadcast and cinematic frame rates and color spaces. All HDMI inputs feature built-in scalers with EDID and HDCP support, eliminating connection hassles with client-provided sources like computers, tablets, smartphones, gaming consoles, and legacy 4:3 devices.

Integrated Playback of Stills and Video Clips

Enhance events with onboard support for graphics and video playback. Call up still images during transitions between presenters, display graphics for breaks, and use PNGs to create dynamic lower thirds. The integrated video player lets you trigger video clips directly from the SDXC card, with no need to connect an external playback device.

Layers and Keyers

Video effects and graphics are must-haves to bring polish and excitement to productions. The VR-120HD’s effects engine features eight composition layers that can be assigned to the Program, Sub-Program and Aux outs, so you’ll always keep audiences engaged with visually appealing content. With up to four picture-in-picture windows and two downstream key layers with transparent PNG and external key support, you can manage the creative needs of any client. For example:

Layers 1-2—Start with mixable live background video layers.
Layers 3-6—Place four picture-in-picture layers or chroma/luminance key effects.
Layer 7-8—Add two downstream keyers with support for fill and key inputs.

Versatile Video Outputs

With multiple assignable outputs—including three SDI and three HDMI outputs, a USB-C streaming output, and ethernet streaming—the VR-120HD puts a high-end video matrix at your command. Feed program displays, auxiliary monitors, multi-view producer displays, and the online audiences at once, complete with a clean output left over for recording the presentation to an SDXC card.

Professional-Class Digital Audio Mixing

The VR-120HD boasts the most powerful audio capabilities of any video switcher in its class, saving the expense of a dedicated mixer and sound engineer. You have 42 channels of audio control, complete with a host of processing tools, I/O routing options, and automation features.

Multi-Channel Analog and Digital Audio Inputs

The VR-120HD features six balanced audio inputs with XLR/1/4-inch combination jacks, high-quality mic preamps, and phantom power. Four RCA inputs are on hand for standard line-level devices, and you can also mix embedded digital audio from the HDMI, SDI, and USB inputs. Bluetooth is available as well for streaming audio from a mobile device.

Powerful Mixing Tools

Set up direct control for your most important sound feeds with eight assignable faders. And when you have multiple presenters to deal with, engage Auto Mixing to lighten your load and ensure that the mix between microphones remains balanced. You can set specific inputs to take priority when someone starts to speak, and other audio levels are automatically reduced as needed.
