The Roland VR-120HD is a direct streaming AV mixer designed for hybrid live and online productions. With extensive audio and video I/O, a large touchscreen, and hands-on controls, this portable powerhouse allows a single operator to manage complex production tasks without the need for external gear or additional staff. The VR-120HD features six 3G SDI inputs and six 1080p HDMI inputs, all with frame rate converters and real-time scalers, supporting cinema and broadcast frame rates. It offers eight total outputs, including three SDI, three HDMI, USB-C streaming, and a dedicated direct streaming output. The mixer includes a 42-channel digital audio mixer with advanced effects and processing, an eight-layer video effects engine, and a 16-slot still store function for screen capture or uploaded images. Enhance your livestreams with sound effects, still images, and video sources stored on an SDXC card. The VR-120HD supports PTZ control for up to 12 cameras, with integrated support for multiple brands and mixed protocols. The large seven-inch touchscreen provides a graphical menu for easy operation, while extensive device control is available via Bluetooth, USB, RS-232, and LAN. The VR-120HD also includes built-in streaming encoders for transmitting two livestreams at rates up to 1080p/60 FPS, and the ability to record streams directly to an SDXC card for archiving, editing, and distribution.
