Compact and powerful, the V-80HD meets the needs of professional video productions for live events, live streaming, studio productions and other applications. The all-in-one design is easy to transport and set up, with flexible input and output features, along with support for 3G SDI, HDMI, USB 3.0 and LAN connections (RTMP/SRT). V-80HD also includes multi-channel audio mixing and effects, integrated control for PTZ cameras, remote operation with video monitoring via dedicated control apps. And with dedicated Graphics Presenter software, you can easily enhance your productions with titles, high-quality motion graphics and much more.

Multiple Video Inputs

V-80HD offers versatile input connectivity via HDMI for common A/V devices, and SDI for long-distance cables and high-quality cameras. Eight channels are available in total, allowing smooth switching for up to four HDMI input sources and four SDI. Two 4K HDMI inputs are equipped with downscalers capable of sending parallel connections to gaming consoles for eSports events. Additionally, an SRT input can be assigned to a cross-point button, along with an SDI and HDMI input.

Versatile Video Outputs and Flexible Routing

With its assignable multiple outputs, including two SDI video outputs and three HDMI, a USB-C output for streaming and LAN (RTMP/SRT), V-80HD provides high-level video matrix capabilities. Each output can be assigned to 10 buses, allowing you to send the signal to program displays, auxiliary monitors, producer multi-view displays and online audiences simultaneously.

Powerful Video Effects Processor

V-80HD is packed with features to enhance presentations with superior video effects and graphics. The built-in effects generator offers five composition layers that include a split-screen effect, two PinP windows with key composition and a DSK with fill/key composition support. It is simple to create the most common templates, such as a presentation with a single speaker, image slides and a title on the background. The PinP and DSK layers can be managed individually on the Program, Sub-Program and two Aux outputs, offering sufficient flexibility for any production need.

Professional Graphics for Everyone

The Graphics Presenter software for Windows allows you to easily create titles and graphics of exceptional quality, eliminating the need for expensive third-party graphical presentation solutions. Configuration with the V-80HD is quick and straightforward: it requires only a single HDMI connection to send fill and key signals from the computer to the switcher.

Graphics Presenter offers an intuitive workflow with a wide selection of ready-to-edit templates, including animated text titles, sports results, motion graphics and much more. The software and templates are available for free, while additional content is provided periodically for download on Roland Cloud.

Streaming Plug & Play

V-80HD uses the same connection technology as webcams, providing a plug & play streaming experience. Simply connect the USB-C output to a computer or smartphone, and start streaming with Zoom, Microsoft Teams or any platform that uses a webcam as a source. LAN connectivity is also supported, allowing you to stream directly to YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitch or any RTMP platform without a computer.

Secure AV Transmission with SRT

V-80HD supports SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), an open-source standard for AVoIP that provides secure transmission of encrypted audio and video over IP networks. It also offers connectivity suitable for future needs within already installed system configurations. SRT allows you to seamlessly extend your V-80HD production capabilities via LAN or an Internet connection. Access video footage from cameras in remote locations and perform switching together with local HDMI and SDI sources and send dedicated SRT video output to an external destination, such as another building at the production venue.

Recording on SDXC Card

With V-80HD's built-in recorder, you can easily capture an event on an SDXC card and provide your client with an H.264 MP4 video file* for their editing and distribution needs. Stereo WAV audio can also be recorded independently for podcasts and other audio-based media. It's even possible to record still images in internal memory from any video output bus, to save them to the card for later use.
*The recording bitrate is equal to the livestream encoding bitrate.

PTZ Camera Support

PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) robotic cameras further expand production possibilities, offering extended coverage with studio broadcast quality. And thanks to their compact size, they can be placed discreetly, even where it would be inconvenient to position larger cameras.

V-80HD includes built-in support for controlling Canon, JVC, Panasonic, Sony, PTZOptics, Avonic selected and compatible VISCA LAN PTZ cameras. Mix and match different brands, and control up to 8 PTZ cameras simultaneously. The V-80HD Remote App for iPad is the ideal companion for PTZ operations, providing remote camera controls and video monitoring from your tablet.

Fast Workflow Thanks to Scenes and Macros

Saving and recalling custom scenes requires just a few button presses on the V-80HD. The 32 scene memories and powerful effects processor work together to deliver linear scene changes, including synchronized transition of all layers of the program output composition. The 100 macros go even further, allowing you to configure and execute complex action lists that include switching, DSK on/off, audio mixing adjustments, PTZ camera movements and much more.

Our free remote control software for macOS, Windows and iPad further enhances this workflow, offering a simple graphical interface for configuring and previewing actions before live execution.

The Magic of Sequencing

The V-80HD sequencer makes scenes and macros even more powerful, allowing a single operator to easily execute perfectly timed cues. You can record up to 1,000 steps, and each step can include both scenes and macros. Simplify your productions by setting up your cues in advance in the sequence list and activating them in order using the Next button on the panel.

Professional Audio Mixer and Effects

V-80HD offers 28 channels of audio mixing along with a wide selection of processing tools, I/O routing options and automation features. Enhance your sound with ready-to-use effects, including high-quality voice processing and a useful Loudness Gain function for managing levels during streaming. With the built-in Audio Player, it's easy to integrate music and sound effects into every production. Three output buses are available, ready to support complex routing needs for event streaming and studio recording setups.

Customizable Pad Control

Eight user-assignable pads ensure quick control of many V-80HD functions. The pads are organized into eight banks, providing direct access to 64 different operations. Recall scenes, macros and sequencer steps, trigger audio and video clips, start and stop streams, and much more. It's even possible to control Graphics Presenter software functions when the host computer is connected to the V-80HD via USB.
