CHOOSING CAMERAS

These guides help you choose the best type of camera for your workflow, set it up to output a compatible video resolution, and also output video without menu overlays or screen information.

 

back to top

VIDEO RESOLUTIONS

If MENU > SYSTEM > SYSTEM FORMAT is:

  • 1080p, Inputs can be 1080i or 1080p*, and Outputs are 1080p**
  • 1080i, Inputs can be 1080i or 1080p*, and Outputs are 1080i**
  • 720p, Inputs can be 720p*, and Outputs are 720p**
  • *HDMI Inputs 5-8 are also multi-format and auto-detect resolution
  • **HDMI Output 3 is always 1080p

 

If using 1080p, the SDI video signal is "3G" and there are 2 "Levels", A and B. If you experience compatibility issues with your SDI output, you can change the Level in MENU > VIDEO OUTPUT > SDI OUT 1/2 > 3G-SDI MAPPING

AUDIO SETUP

When you first turn on the V-160HD, it is set to mix all XLR, RCA, and embedded input audio at their current levels and output the mix via the video and USB outputs. You can adjust the levels using a combination of the Audio Input/Output menus and iPad Remote App.

 

If you are using the USB Streaming Output, make sure that both the Master Output and USB Stream knobs are turned up to 0 dB.

CONNECTING LAPTOPS

On your PC or Mac, there are two ways to set up the computer's HDMI output to your V-160HD: Duplicate and Extend.

  • Duplicate creates a copy of your Desktop, including your Taskbar or Dock. Your mouse will appear on both screens.
  • Extend creates a clean desktop, and you can move your mouse between the two.

These guides walk you through general setup in Windows 10 and MacOS:

If you use software that generates visuals or plays media files, there may be additional screen output settings in the software:

AEROCASTER SWITCHER

The V-160HD gives you free access to Roland’s AeroCaster Switcher for iPad. With this app, you can wirelessly connect and switch up to five sources (phone cameras, tablet cameras, laptop webcams, and laptop browser tabs), then output a combined program feed to an HDMI input on the V-160HD.

ADDING LIVE GRAPHICS

You can overlay graphics like lower thirds and logos using the DSK or Picture in Picture functions, which use keyers to remove a solid color or the alpha channel from an overlay source.

 

Chroma_Key_Example.png

 

Here are the available keyer types:

PinP 1-4: Luma, Chroma

DSK 1-2: Luma, Chroma, Alpha (PNG only), External (Key and Fill sources)

CONTROL SYSTEMS

You can control the V-160HD with 3rd party control systems via LAN or RS-232. The V-160HD also supports MIDI control. More information is in the Remote Control Guide, which is different than the Remote Connection Guide.

  • LAN 
    • Wired V-160HD and control system via Ethernet
      • Create a 4-digit network password in the LAN Control menu to use this feature
  • RS-232
    • Wired V-160HD and control system via RS-232
      • Note that the V-160HD has a 9-pin RS-232 port
         
  • Some button commands are not included in the Remote Control Guide, please contact product support for a complete list.
  • "stx" is not required when using TCP/IP control
  • The V-160HD uses line feed (LF) returns instead of carriage return (CR)

 

The actual command set is MIDI SysEx, but you use two control commands as wrappers.

  • Calculating the checksum is not required

The V-160HD requires a 4 digit numeric password, you can create one in the LAN Control menu. Depending on the control system, you may need to:

  • Enter the password when you first connect
  • Send the password as the first command once, followed by the actual command
  • Send the password as the first command each time, followed by the actual command

 

Parameter Write:

  • Example: Press and release the Cut button
    • DTH:0B001E,01;
      Presses and holds the Cut button
      • DTH is the wrapper command
      • 0B 00 1E is the CUT button SysEx command
      • 01 is the on value
    • To release the button, you will need another command:
    • DTH:0B001E,00;
      Releases the Cut button
      • Any momentary button needs to turned off with this 2nd command, otherwise, it's like holding down the button indefinitely
         
  • Example: Select channel 3 on the PGM/A row of the Crosspoint
    • DTH:002100,02;
      Selects channel 3 on the PGM row of the Crosspoint
      • DTH is the wrapper command
      • 00 21 00 is the PGM Select SysEx command
      • 02 is the value for channel 3
        • The off/release command is not required, as the button stays on until another input select button is pressed, physically or remotely

 

Parameter Value Retrieve:

Example: Tally status of HDMI Input 3 on the crosspoint 

  • If HDMI Input 3 is the PGM and/or PST selection, it will return a status value other than 0
  • If HDMI Input 3 is not assigned to the crosspoint, the status value will always be 0
  • Not the same as the tally light output, but may help control some third party tally systems

RQH:0C0002,000001;
Selects channel 3 on the PGM row of the Crosspoint

  • RQH is the wrapper command
  • 0C 00 02 is the address of the HDMI Input 3 Tally Status SysEx command
  • 00 00 01 is the address size

The control system receives the status as DTH:0C0002,0X 

  • If HDMI Input 3 is selected as Nothing, X=0, PGM, X=1, PST, X=2, PGM & PST, X=3

PTZ CAMERA CONTROL

You can control up to 16 PTZ cameras over a network using the V-160HD menu, RCS software, and the iPad Remote App.

Before you can control any cameras, you need to set up your V-160HD's network settings in the LAN Control menu.

 

Compatible PTZ brands include: Avonic, Canon, JVC, Panasonic, PTZ Optics, and Sony.

  • Sony cameras use the "VISCA Over IP" protocol
  • Other cameras may work with the "VISCA Over IP" protocol, but are not officially supported
  • Supports PTZ control over IP, and not RS-232 or RS-422.

FOOT SWITCH CONTROL

The V-160HD supports control from up to 2 BOSS foot switch controllers:

 

You can set them up in the CTL/EXP menu:

PROTECTING SETTINGS

There are multiple ways to protect your settings on the V-160HD:

HDCP TROUBLESHOOTING

The V-160HD supports many video source devices, but DVD/Blu-Ray players and Streaming Boxes require HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to be turned on in the system settings. Once enabled, the signal will pass through.

But there are exceptions. If the V-160HD's HDMI output is connected to a recording or streaming device, or a converter that outputs SDI or Analog video, that device will block the DVD/Blu-Ray player's HDCP copy-protected signal passing through the switcher.

So long as the only destination devices are displays or projectors, then you should not have any issues with enabling HDCP.

On the V-160HD, turning on HDCP will also disable the SDI and USB streaming outputs.

 

HDMI CAT Extenders: These are a pair of converters that extend an HDMI signal by converting it to Ethernet and back to HDMI again. These extenders may add HDCP to the signal, even if the source is a camera. Please check with the extender's manufacturer regarding compatibility. SDI converters or HDBaseT extenders are recommended as they do not add or require HDCP.

Game Consoles: These may have HDCP enabled by default for all games and content, or just for streaming services and disc playback. If you want to stream or record the Roland's output, then HDCP needs to be disabled on both the game console and the Roland. Consoles either do this automatically or have a menu setting. Check your game console's manual for more information.
