Roland VP-42H

The Roland VP-42H Video Processor layers and arranges multiple video sources to a single screen with dynamic transitions for effective and engaging presentations,
digital signage and meeting applications.

The VP-42H layers up to four HDMI sources on a single screen and moves the windows smoothly between prepared scenes. It suits presentations at large events, digital signage, meeting rooms and multi-view monitoring for video production.

Everything important on one screen

Four HDMI inputs, two outputs, four PinP layers, ten scenes and setup through a web browser.

A compact HDMI processor

Four HDMI inputs and two outputs, stereo RCA audio in and out, LAN for browser control, RS-232 and USB for still images.

Large events and LED walls

10-bit 4:4:4 processing keeps colors sharp even with spreadsheets and charts, so data, cameras and presentations can share one screen.

Meeting rooms

Video conferences, presentations and other material on the same screen, with views changed at a single press.

Scenes that move

Motion Scene Switching moves and resizes the windows smoothly from the current scene to the next. Impressive transitions that used to take hours to program now happen at the touch of a button. For digital signage, scenes can also change automatically at a preset interval.

Web control

Scale, crop and position layers by dragging with a mouse or a finger on a tablet.

Keyer

Layer 1 offers luma and chroma key for overlays and logos.

Audio in and out

De-embed HDMI audio to RCA or embed external audio into the HDMI output.

Multi-view

Custom window size for each source instead of a fixed quad split.

• Combine up to four HDMI video sources on to a single output
• Simple set-up and remote switching with browser-based network control
• Connect and switch multiple resolutions simultaneously
• Audio management and connection to external audio devices
• Motion Scene Switching for fluid transitions between complex screen sets
• Keyer function for overlays and advanced compositions

Maximum effect, minimum effort. The VP-42H goes way beyond typical switchers. You can instantly switch between ‘scenes’ containing preset arrangements of layered sources in customizable inset windows. The VP-42H smoothly transitions between current and next scenes by automatically moving and resizing the windows to their new positions. And highly impressive scene changes that used to take hours to program now happen at the touch of a button.

Simple, solid switching. 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.

Flexible audio capability. 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.

Fast and convenient browser-based setup. Quickly configure scenes by using the web browser interface for your 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.
