Roland VR-400UHD 4K Streaming AV Mixer

The Roland VR-400UHD 4K Streaming AV Mixer is a powerful and user-friendly solution for managing difficult production chores during livestreaming and in-person events. Side-by-side touchscreens provide you immediate, direct control over your workflow, allowing you to view live video thumbnails, switch composite video scenes, access audio mixing and video routing tools, and much more. With a single small device, versatile onboard AV connection delivers the I/O required to meet daily production demands. With complete 4K HDMI and USB streaming capabilities, you'll always be able to provide the best video quality for your clients and audience.

Ultra-Smooth Workflow
The VR-400UHD enables anybody to produce faultless hybrid presentations with high production values thanks to its twin touchscreens, clever panel design, and professional features.

Touch and Go
Two seven-inch touchscreens make it easy to view video content and perform operations with a few rapid taps. You may monitor and select up to eight video scenes on the right screen while accessing different video switching and audio capabilities on the left in the basic PGM/PST mode. When you switch to Dual mode, you may broadcast video to both displays, which is useful for occasions when you need to run several presentation screens at the same time.

Tactile Controls
To supplement the touch workflow, the VR-400UHD panel features a wide range of tactile controls. The right side is dominated by video controls, which include separate scene/bank buttons as well as controls for transitions, keying, scaling, and other functions. On the left side, familiar hands-on faders and knobs control the main audio features.

Present and Livestream in 4K
The VR-400UHD supports 4K/60fps, the high-quality video standard, allowing you to connect 4K cameras and feed 4K monitors and recorders. Also supported are HDR and SDR formats, with automated conversion into your 4K workflow. You may also livestream to popular platforms on your PC using the USB-C webcam output* and inbuilt USB 3.2 Gen 2 compatibility.

Powerful AV Connectivity
The VR-400UHD's loaded rear panel provides the audio and video connectivity required to handle a range of production settings without the use of extra mixers, switchers, and other equipment.

Compact Convenience
The VR-400UHD fits conveniently into a carrying bag, and its small footprint allows you to set up in even the most confined working spaces. It also fits a normal 19-inch rack case and is ready for installation in a slide-out tray or directly on the rack rails.

Seven 4K HDMI Inputs
The VR-400UHD has seven HDMI inputs with up to 4K/60p quality, and you may utilize up to four of them simultaneously to create video compositions. Inputs 1-3 are always available, but cameras and other devices linked to the remaining four inputs can be chosen one at a time as needed. All inputs have scalers, allowing you to freely combine 4K/HD, HDR/SDR, and Rec.2020/Rec.709 devices without worrying about format conversion.

Easy Switching with Scenes
You may construct sophisticated video compositions and remember them using the VR-400UHD's touch panel or dedicated buttons thanks to the strong and straightforward scene feature. Each scene may have one backdrop layer, two picture-in-picture and key layers, and the arrangement, size, and cropping can be changed while the input video is being played.

Two Touchscreen Modes
For a sophisticated aesthetic, alternate between scenes in PGM/PST mode by applying transition effects like as cuts, dissolves, and wipes. Eight banks offer a total of 64 scenes, with eight scenes displayed at a time on the right touch panel. You may show PGM1 on the right screen and PGM2 on the left, and assign them to HDMI and USB outputs using Dual mode. This is great for dealing with independent LED panels on the stage's left and right sides, allowing you to monitor and operate both at the same time.

Import and Display Still Images
Import JPEG, BMP, and PNG still photos from USB flash storage to enhance events. The VR-400UHD's internal memory can hold up to eight pictures, which may be used to display transitions between presenters, graphics during breaks, and transparent PNGs for titles and lower thirds.

One Camera, Multiple Looks
If your production calls for a broad picture of the stage, a medium shot of a speaking panel, and close-ups of each speaker, the VR-400UHD has you covered with built-in ROI. This enables you to use a single 4K camera and the VR-400UHD's input sharing and scaling features to crop out distinct pictures that you can then assign to scenes for rapid switching.

Flexible HDMI Outputs
The VR-400UHD has two 4K HDMI outputs that can be downscaled to FHD and may be assigned PGM or PST separately. A dedicated HDMI HD output provides the same picture as the PGM/PST touchscreen at a fixed resolution of 720p. This output is ideal for previewing operations in larger-scale installations.

4K USB-C Livestreaming
With USB 3.2 Gen 2 compatibility for streaming at rates up to 4K/30fps, the high-performance USB-C output is ready for all of your livestreaming demands. When connected, the VR-400UHD is recognized by your computer as a conventional camera; simply pick it as the video and audio sources in your choice platform and begin broadcasting. The USB output has a dedicated logo capability that allows you to incorporate custom characters in the video while it is streaming.

Multi-Channel Audio Inputs
Four balanced XLR/TRS combo connectors with high-quality mic preamps and phantom power round out the analog audio interface. Two extra mic inputs on TRS jacks are provided, as are two stereo RCA input pairs for connecting line-level devices. It is also possible to blend integrated digital audio from HDMI and USB sources.

Hands-On Mixing
The faders and knobs on the left side of the VR-400UHD panel control the audio inputs, master output, and headphones, allowing for grab-and-go operation during events. The touchscreen above adds additional control by allowing quick access to mute, solo, and deeper channel options.

Powerful Sound Processing
Every channel has comprehensive EQ and dynamics processing for molding and refining sounds. Automatic feedback control, audio sync alignment, de-essing, noise suppression, and other powerful problem-solving technologies are also available.

Automatically Follow the Action
When there are many presenters, you must follow the activity and switch audio and video simultaneously. The VR-400UHD's automatic video switching and audio mixing functions simplify this difficult operation, substantially reducing your burden and ensuring a seamless production experience.

Remote Control
With specific software programs and remote device interfaces, the VR-400UHD offers extended workflows. Through a LAN connection, you may operate the switcher and watch scene previews using browser-based remote control software. RS-232, LAN, and TALLY interfaces allow for seamless integration with system installations.
