Intuitive 4K Workflow with Dual Touchscreens

The VR-6HD offers an intuitive 4K workflow with dual touchscreens. Thanks to its sensitive touchscreens, you can easily control the device's functions and settings, navigate options, and manage your productions efficiently.

Ultra-Smooth Workflow

The VR-400UHD delivers a stunning hybrid presentation experience thanks to its dual-touchscreen design, smart panel, and professional features.

Touch and Go

The two seven-inch touchscreens make it easy to monitor video content and perform operations with a simple touch. In the default PGM/PST mode, you can monitor and select up to eight video scenes on the right screen and access various video and audio switching functions on the left screen. By switching to Dual mode, you can send video to both displays, which is ideal for events where you need to manage multiple presentation screens simultaneously.

Tactile Controls

The VR-400UHD panel also includes a wide selection of tactile controls to complement the touch workflow. The right side features dedicated buttons for scenes/banks and controls for transitions, overlays, sizes, and more. Main audio functions are easily controlled on the left side via familiar-feeling faders and knobs.

Present and Livestream in 4K

The VR-400UHD supports 4K/60fps, the standard for high-quality video, allowing you to connect 4K cameras and power 4K displays and recordings. HDR and SDR formats are also supported, with automatic conversion in your 4K workflow. And with the USB-C webcam output* and built-in USB 3.2 Gen 2 support, you can livestream simultaneously to popular platforms from your computer.
The VR-400UHD supports SDR video up to 4K/30p.

Powerful AV Connectivity

The VR-400UHD's rear panel is complete with audio and video connectivity, allowing you to manage diverse production situations without needing external mixers, switchers, or other devices.

Compact Convenience

The VR-400UHD easily stores in a carrying case, and its compact size allows you to set up equipment even in the tightest spaces. Additionally, it is compatible with standard 19-inch rack cases, able to be mounted on a pull-out slide or directly on rack rails.

Upgrade Your Productions with 4K Video

Offering full 4K video support, the VR-400UHD allows you to work with the highest video quality without compromise.

Seven 4K HDMI Inputs

The VR-400UHD features seven HDMI inputs with resolutions up to 4K/60p, and you can use up to four inputs simultaneously to create video compositions. Inputs 1-3 are always available, while cameras and other devices connected to the other four inputs can be selected one at a time as needed. All inputs have built-in scalers, allowing you to freely mix 4K/HD, HDR/SDR devices, and Rec.2020/Rec.709 formats without worrying about format conversion.

Simple Switching with Scenes

The powerful and intuitive scene function allows you to create complex video compositions and recall them using the VR-400UHD's touch panel or dedicated buttons. Each scene can include a background layer and two picture-in-picture and key layers, and the layout, size, and cropping can be adjusted while viewing the input video.

Two Touchscreen Modes

In PGM/PST mode, you can switch between scenes using transition effects like cuts, dissolves, and wipe fades for a polished look. Eight banks provide a total of 64 scenes, with eight scenes at a time displayed on the right touch display. Using Dual mode, you can display PGM1 on the right screen and PGM2 on the left, and assign them to HDMI and USB outputs.* This is ideal for working with separate LED panels on the right and left sides of a stage, allowing you to monitor and control both simultaneously.
*Only freeze cut transition effects are available in Dual mode.

Import and Display Still Images

Enrich events with JPEG, BMP, and PNG still images imported via USB flash media. Up to eight images can be stored in the VR-400UHD's internal memory, ready to be displayed during transitions between presenters, graphics during breaks, and transparent PNGs for titles and subtitles.

One Camera, Multiple Looks

If your production requires a wide shot of the stage, a medium shot of a discussion panel, and close-ups of each speaker, the VR-400UHD offers the solution with the integrated Region of Interest (ROI) function. This allows you to use a single 4K camera and leverage the VR-400UHD's input sharing and scaling functions to crop unique shots, which you can assign to scenes for instant switching.

Flexible HDMI Outputs

The VR-400UHD features two 4K HDMI outputs with support for downscaling to FHD, and you can independently assign PGM or PST to each. There's also a dedicated HD HDMI output, which outputs the same image as the PGM/PST touchscreen at a fixed 720p resolution. This output is perfect for generating operation previews in larger scale installations.

4K Livestreaming via USB-C

The high-performance USB-C output is ready for all your livestreaming needs, with USB 3.2 Gen 2 support for streaming at resolutions up to 4K/30fps.* The VR-400UHD is recognized as a standard webcam on your computer when connected: just select it as the video and audio source in your preferred platform and start streaming. The USB output has a dedicated function for logos, allowing you to embed custom characters in the video during streams.
*4K livestreaming requires a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) cable, a computer with USB 3.2 Gen 2 support, and network bandwidth capable of supporting a 4K data stream. When using a USB 3.0 or 3.2 Gen 1 cable, the maximum output format is 1080p/60fps.

Professional Audio Mixing

The VR-400UHD features a professional audio mixer with 14 simultaneous channels and a complete suite of Roland's renowned sound shaping tools.

Multi-Channel Audio Inputs

Comprehensive analog audio connectivity includes four balanced XLR/TRS connectors with high-quality microphone preamps and phantom power. Two additional microphone inputs are available on TRS connectors, plus two pairs of RCA stereo inputs for line-level devices. You can also mix digital audio embedded from sources connected via HDMI and USB.

Hands-On Mixing

The left side of the VR-400UHD panel includes faders and knobs for audio inputs, master output, and headphones, providing immediate control for smooth operation during events. The touchscreen above offers additional controls with quick access to mute, solo functions, and more advanced parameters for each channel.

Powerful Audio Processing

A complete set of EQs and dynamics processors is available on each channel to shape and optimize sounds. Powerful troubleshooting tools are also available, including automatic feedback control, audio alignment, sibilance reduction, noise suppression, and more.

Automatically Follow the Action

When there are many presenters, you need to follow the action and change audio and video simultaneously. The VR-400UHD's automatic video switching and audio mixing capabilities make this complex task simple, significantly lightening the workload and creating a smooth production experience.
