VR-6HD: Switch Between Multiple Inputs with a BOSS Foot Switch

Learn how to cycle through your video inputs and switch to them using BOSS FS-5U and FS-6 foot switches with audio cables. This helps you operate your Roland switcher without sitting in front of it.

In this example, we have 3 cameras we want to switch between, and they appear on Inputs 1 through 3 on the multi-view. We will use Macros and the Sequencer to do this.

  • In the menu, Inputs refer to the boxes on the Multi-View and 16 Input-View, not the physical input connectors HDMI 1-8 and SDI 1-8.
  • Any HDMI or SDI input connector can be assigned to an Input in the Video Assign menu.

 

 


Create the Macros


Create 3 Macros, each one will select an Input as your PST source, which appears as PVW on the multi-view.

In this example, HDMI inputs 1-3 are assigned to Input 1-3. The PST source is Input 2 and appears on PVW.

 

Settings

  • Menu > Memory/Macro/Seq > Macro > 1 (long press) > Edit > Add Function
    • Function > PGM/PST Select
    • PGM CH > ----
    • PST CH > INPUT 1
  • Menu > Macro > List Edit > Macro 2 > Add New Function
    • Function > PGM/PST Select
    • PGM CH > ----
    • PST CH > INPUT 2
  • Menu > Macro > List Edit > Macro 3 > Add New Function
    • Function > PGM/PST Select
    • PGM CH > ----
    • PST CH > INPUT 3

Macro 1's settings on the LCD Monitor.

 

Notes

  • You can erase an existing Macro using the Initialize setting.
  • You have 100 Macro slots, and you can use any Macro number you want to create these.
  • Once you create the first Macro, you can copy it and edit the copy to save time.
  • Remember to set PGM CH to "----", this tells the switch to not change that setting. It is the first option for that setting.

 

 


Create the Sequence


To execute these Macros using a foot switch, we need to add them to the Sequencer.

In this example, steps 1-3 on the list are assigned to the 3 Macros we created.

 

Settings

  • Menu > Memory/Macro/Seq > Sequencer > On
  • Menu > Memory/Macro/Seq > Sequencer > Repeat Execute > On
  • Menu > Memory/Macro/Seq > Sequencer > Auto Sequence > Off
  • Menu > Memory/Macro/Seq > Sequencer > List Edit > Add New Function
    • Function > Macro
    • Value > Macro 1
  • Menu > Memory/Macro/Seq > Sequencer > List Edit > Add New Function
    • Function > Macro
    • Value > Macro 2
  • Menu > Memory/Macro/Seq > Sequencer > List Edit > Add New Function
    • Function > Macro
    • Value > Macro 3

Sequencer list settings on the LCD Monitor.

 

Notes

  • Erase the current list using the Initialize setting in the menu (not available in RCS).
  • The only Sequencer steps should be the Macros you created.
  • Once you create the first Sequencer step, you can copy it and edit the copy to save time.
  • Do not turn on Auto Sequence.

 

 


Foot Switch Setup


By default, VR-6HD switches between inputs with a single button, bypassing PVW. To cycle inputs, you need to change the operation mode.

  • Menu > System > Panel Operation > PGM/PST

This changes how you switch inputs. When you press a Video Switcher button, it will turn green and appear in PVW. To complete the transition, press Cut or Auto.

FS-6

  • Button A cycles forward through your inputs, you will see them change in the PVW window on the multi-view.
  • Button B swaps PVW with PGM, using a mix dissolve or wipe with Auto, or instantaneous with Cut. Press the Transition button to switch between Mix and Wipe.
  • Use a single TRS cable connected to CTL/EXP 1 on the back of the Roland switcher.

Settings

  • Menu > Remote > CTL/EXP > CTL/EXP 1 > CTL/EXP Type > CTL A & CTL B
    • CTL A - Category > Sequencer
    • CTL A - Value > Next
    • CTL B - Category > Button Control
    • CTL B - Value > Auto or Cut

CTL/EXP settings on the LCD Monitor.

 

FS-6 & FS-5U

  • FS-6 Button A cycles backwards and Button B cycles forward through your inputs, you will see them change in the PVW window on the multi-view.
  • FS-5U swaps PVW with PGM, using a mix dissolve or wipe with Auto, or instantaneous with Cut. Press the Transition button to switch between Mix and Wipe.
  • Use a single TS or TRS cable connected to CTL/EXP 2 on the back of the Roland switcher.

Settings

  • Menu > Remote > CTL/EXP > CTL/EXP 1 > CTL/EXP Type > CTL A & CTL B
    • CTL A - Category > Sequencer
    • CTL A - Value > Previous
    • CTL B - Category > Sequencer
    • CTL B - Value > Next
  • Menu > Remote > CTL/EXP > CTL/EXP 2 > CTL/EXP Type > CTL A & CTL B
    • CTL A - Category > N/A
    • CTL A - Value > ---
    • CTL B - Category > Button Control
    • CTL B - Value > Auto or Cut

Notes

  • The FS-5U only uses CTL B, it does not recognize CTL A.
  • The FS-5U does not use a battery, it is a passive device.
  • The FS-6 uses battery power whenever a cable is connected to it, disconnect after use.

 

 


Testing


Turn on the Sequencer in the Sequencer menu or by assigning Sequencer to a User button on the LCD Monitor's Dashboard.

  • Menu > Dashboard > LCD Assign A > User Button 3/4

Dashboard settings on the LCD Monitor.

 

Use the foot switch to cycle through inputs on PVW and press the assigned Take button to output it to PGM.
