VIDEO RESOLUTIONS

The XS-1HD has multi-format input scalers on each input, which automatically resize the input sources to match the output resolution.

There is also an output scaler to further adjust the output resolution, as well as output size and position.

These are like worry-free inputs, allowing you to mix different source resolutions together across your inputs.

You can set the XS-1HD's system output resolution by going to: Menu > Output > Format

AUDIO SETUP

When you first turn on the XS-1HD, it is set to mix all RCA and HDMI input audio at their current levels and output the mix via the RCA and HDMI outputs. You can adjust the levels in the Audio menu.

CONNECTING LAPTOPS

On your PC or Mac, there are two ways to set up the computer's HDMI output to your V-1HD: 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:

ADDING LIVE GRAPHICS

You can overlay graphics like lower thirds and logos using the Luma Keyer in Switcher Mode, which removes white or black video from an overlay source.

This is covered in the Getting to Know video, as well as the following knowledgebase article:

ADDING A STILL IMAGE

You can import a single still image using a flash drive and the USB Memory port.

A 16 GB or smaller USB Flash Drive is recommended
- Larger drives may not format or function
- SD card adapters and hard drives are not compatible
The Format setting in the menu will format the USB Flash Drive as "FAT32"
- You can also format it using your computer, but using the menu is recommended

Here are the recommended settings to import a still image via USB:

Format

Bitmap (.bmp), 24-bit color, uncompressed

Resolution

Matches the System Format:

720P = 1280x720

1080i/1080P = 1920x1080

File Name

No more than 8 single-byte alphanumeric characters

* Add the extension ".bmp"

STREAMING VIDEO

The USB Type A port on the back of the XS-1HD can:

Backup and restore settings via USB
Update the firmware via USB

The XS-1HD does not output audio and video for streaming, you will need an HDMI to USB Capture Device, like our UVC-01:

This device is not the same as a USB to HDMI display adapter,
those are used to add an additional display to a computer

The UVC-01 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-1HD.

HDCP TROUBLESHOOTING

The XS-1HD 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 XS-1HD's HDMI outputs are connected to a recording or streaming device, or an HDMI to SDI or HDMI to Analog converter, 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.

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.
