Roland VR-6HD Direct Streaming AV Mixer

Add a professional hybrid live streaming event AV mixer to your production with this VR-6HD Direct Streaming AV Mixer from Roland. Combining the advanced functions of a video switcher and audio mixer, the portable VR-6HD is great for live school events, houses of worship, council meetings, corporate events, concerts, and other live performance venues. The switcher offers the capability of live streaming up to two simultaneous streams to popular online forums, such as Facebook and Twitch. The VR-6HD puts a high-end video matrix at your fingers with three HDMI outputs, a USB-C streaming output, and an ethernet streaming output. Feed program displays, auxiliary monitors, multiview producer displays, and online audiences at once, complete with a clean output leftover for recording the presentation to an SDXC card.

High-Quality Presentations Made Easy
The powerful video capabilities in the VR-6HD make it simple to bring professional production values to business streaming productions. Connect multiple cameras and computers via HDMI for different views, and incorporate robotic PTZ cameras to change angles at the touch of a button. Quickly assign and switch among sources on the fly, including live HDMI inputs, presentation decks, still images, and video clips. You can also create custom feeds for live and online viewers by assigning composition layers to multiple buses.

Multiple HDMI Inputs
The VR-6HD supports HDMI—the most common video connector in the world—and you can seamlessly combine six HDMI sources in Full HD with a range of broadcast and cinematic frame rates and color spaces. Built-in scalers with EDID and HDCP support provide easy integration with 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 bring polish and excitement to productions. The VR-6HD’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.

Professional Digital Audio Mixing
The VR-6HD delivers world-class audio quality with 28 simultaneous channels and Roland’s sound mixing features. Comprehensive EQ and dynamics processing is provided on every channel, complete with convenient preset libraries for achieving pro results instantly. Powerful problem-solving tools are also on hand, including audio sync alignment, de-essing, noise suppression, and more. It’s even possible to play back stored audio during streams with quick touches on the panel.

Multichannel Audio Inputs and Bluetooth
The VR-6HD offers professional analog audio connectivity with six balanced XLR/TRS combination jacks, high-quality mic preamps, and phantom power. Stereo RCA inputs are available for audio players, electronic instruments, and other line-level devices, and you can mix the embedded digital audio from sources connected to the HDMI and USB inputs. And with onboard Bluetooth, it’s easy to stream wireless audio from any mobile device.
