Roland VR-120HD Direct Streaming AV Mixer

Roland VR-120HD Direct Streaming AV Mixer

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 Live and 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.

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.

Shape Your Sound

The VR-120HD combines the full power of the latest digital audio consoles with expansive Roland effects. EQ and dynamics processing is provided for every input and output, and high-quality reverb is available for music applications and special effects. You also get specialized tools to quickly handle audio issues, like automatic anti-feedback for stage mics and adaptive noise reduction to suppress background noise and hum.

Audio On Demand

With the VR-120HD’s unique Audio Player section and eight assignable pads, it’s simple to enhance events with custom sounds. With a quick press, you can trigger sound effects, event announcements, countdowns for e-sports, or theme songs when presenters take the stage—the sky’s the limit.

USB-C Streaming Up to 60 FPS

Stream to any audience in Full HD to a computer via USB. The USB-C connection offers the same plug-and-play technology as webcams,* so you can begin streaming immediately with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or any platform that can use a webcam as its source.
*USB video class (UVC) and USB audio class (UAC) compliant. YUY2 (uncompressed) and Motion JPEG (compressed) formats supported.

Dual LAN Streaming Destinations

Reach a wider audience by broadcasting to two different livestream channels at once. Or use the second channel to capture a local backup in real time. It’s even possible to use a mobile phone with a 4G or 5G data plan as the primary streaming connection or a redundant backup.

Take Full Control of Your Productions

The VR-120HD provides immediate control of essential functions with hardware knobs, faders, and buttons. And with the seven-inch touch display, you have fast access to deeper parameters and settings. Scene memory, macro, and sequencing features make your workflow even smoother, letting you pre-program complicated actions and fire them off with simple actions during the event.

PTZ Camera Support

Robotic PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras eliminate the need for multiple operators, provide enhanced broadcast-quality coverage, and can be placed in discreet locations thanks to their small size. The VR-120HD features integrated support for select Canon, JVC, Panasonic, Sony, PTZOptics, Avonic, and VISCA-compatible PTZ LAN cameras. Mix and match different brands as you like and operate up to 12 PTZ cameras simultaneously.
