Mélangeur vidéo Roland V-160HD Composite USB Type-C 60Hz

The Roland V-160HD is a compact professional video switcher designed for hybrid live productions. It offers comprehensive HDMI and SDI I/O, Composite input support, and a USB-C output for webcam-style streaming at 30/60 FPS in Full HD. The unit includes an eight-layer video effects engine, a 40-channel digital audio mixer, integrated PTZ camera control for up to 16 cameras, and hardware-based signal processing to reduce latency and CPU overhead. Portable and operator-friendly, the V-160HD supports presets, macros, and a sequencer for automated cueing and multi-destination output routing.

Advantages

The V-160HD combines dedicated hardware processing with flexible connectivity—including SDI, HDMI, Composite, XLR, RCA, and USB-C—so you can handle both long cable runs and common consumer devices without extra converters. Built-in scalers on several HDMI inputs accommodate mixed resolutions and aspect ratios. A multi-output design (three SDI, three HDMI, one USB-C) provides simultaneous feeds for program displays, auxiliary monitors, multi-view, and a clean recording or streaming output. The onboard 40-channel audio mixer, Bluetooth input, and effects library deliver studio-grade audio control alongside robust video features. Presets, 100 macros, and a sequencer with up to 1000 steps simplify complex productions while keeping operation possible for a single user.

How to use

Connect cameras and sources to the HDMI, SDI, and Composite inputs and route outputs to displays or a streaming computer via the USB-C port. Use the front-panel controls or the iPad/desktop remote apps to assign inputs to layers, apply keys and picture-in-picture compositions, and mix audio with the onboard digital mixer. Store commonly used scenes in preset memories and combine actions into macros for one-touch execution. Pre-program sequences in the sequencer for timed cueing and trigger them from the panel’s Next button, a footswitch, or remote software.

Recommendations

For reliable live performance, connect mission-critical cameras and displays via SDI for long runs and use HDMI or Composite for short-distance or consumer devices. Use the built-in scalers on HDMI inputs for computers and mobile devices to avoid scaling artifacts. Test presets, macros, and sequencer steps in the remote app before the event to verify timing, audio levels, and PTZ camera positions.
