## Long description

The Roland V-8HD is a compact, all-in-one HDMI video switcher designed for live event production. It mixes up to eight HDMI sources in Full HD and handles mismatched frame rates and color spaces, offers built-in scalers on two inputs, a bright 4.3-inch multi-viewer, an 18-channel audio mixer, and support for external battery power. Version 2.0 firmware adds macros, advanced sequencing, transparent PNG support and other automation tools. The unit is lightweight and portable, making it suitable for touring and small-footprint setups.
Advantages
The V-8HD provides broad connectivity with eight HDMI inputs and multiple outputs, integrated scalers, and a multi-viewer that reduces the need for extra monitors. Its hardware design avoids computer setup and software instability, while Version 2.0 adds powerful automation with up to 100 macros and a 1000-step sequencer. Onboard audio mixing, effects, and programmable memories enable quick recall of looks and synchronized transitions. The switcher also supports recorder triggering via HDMI and remote control from iPad, macOS, or Windows.
Suitable for
Live event switching for concerts, corporate events, and houses of worship
Small broadcast and webcast productions, including streaming to platforms via USB capture
Conference rooms and presentations requiring multiple camera and media sources

How to use
Connect up to eight HDMI sources to the inputs and route outputs to program and auxiliary destinations. Use the multi-viewer to monitor inputs, program and preview; assign any input to the aux output or synchronize aux with program. Prepare layered compositions using the five available layers (two background layers, two picture-in-picture layers, and one downstream keyer) and load looks into preset memories. Install Version 2.0 firmware to enable macros and the sequencer, then create and trigger macros or sequence steps from the front panel, remote software, or iPad app. For streaming to computer platforms, add the UVC-01 USB capture interface as needed.
Usage recommendations
For reliable live operation, test input scaling and color-space compatibility during preproduction, store frequently used scenes in preset memories, and build macros for repetitive actions. Use the sequencer for one-operator shows and enable recorder trigger features for automated recording confirmation.
