Introducing the Roland V-160HD Streaming Video Switcher

The V-160HD Streaming Video Switcher is the first hybrid event solution that empowers single operators to seamlessly produce event presentations for in-person and online attendees. Hybrid events require custom content displays with the ability to tailor the experience to each audience. The V-160HD allows in-person audience members to see a presentation on in-room displays, while online attendees view the presenter and their content layered on the screen simultaneously. Meanwhile, traditional automation tools—like presets, macros, and robotic PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera control are unified with a sequencer—allowing operators to multi-task with confidence, reducing missed cues, poor audio, or delayed video switching issues.

Standout Features:

-Ability to mix eight HDMI and eight SDI sources in full HD, working with everything from cameras, computers, tablets, smartphones to gaming consoles and even legacy 4:3 devices.

-Record up to 1000 steps in the sequencer, each of which can include presets, macros, video effect layers, audio mixing, and PTZ cameras. Simply set up your cues ahead of time in the sequence list and trigger them in order using the Next button on the panel.

- Switch inputs, configure settings, and recall presets remotely with wireless Bluetooth connectivity and an iPad app.

- Engage your audience with unique picture in picture for up to four people.

-Directly control a range of compatible robotic PTZ cameras. Mix and match various brands and operate up to 16 PTZ cameras simultaneously.

I've tested it briefly and, for me, it's by far the best Roland video switcher ever. I love Roland switchers but this one is definitely my fav. And it has some more features on the way. Great!

this is everything i’ve wanted in a mixer!

[biclar]

🤤 Oh yeah! Wish I got this before I bought my Blackmagic Atem Mini Extreme ISO!

Claiming 40 channels of audio is a bit of a stretch, no one wants to have HDSDI embedded audio jammed into their switcher, that's a job for FOH to manage the mix. 16-slot still store function supports screen capture or uploaded BMP, JPEG, and PNG images via alpha channel in the internal non-volatile memory. (no one normally does this live, you need to have a separate operate for any presentational material like you're showing here. Plus this is a limiting factory. So can you take in separate Key & Fill off a CG? If so, you just changed the board to a 6 input switcher. Can you take Photoshop files over then network or USB? So you still need to send the USB mix to OBS or another computer to stream from, right?

Can macro and pip, as well as other functions can be controlled via Companion and a streamdeck ?

[bryansheehy]

Can you do a custom wipe/stinger transition? With a PNG sequence for example. I tried calling your sales dept. and also emailing support via your website, but it's impossible to get ahold of anyone. Not sure why you want so many barriers in between potential customers and your sales staff.

Does Roland V-160HD have ISO recording?

[strayferal]

Roland: Make the switcher to support AIRA Link or at least standard MIDI so I can hook it to my MX1 mixer and have switching and video effects un sync to the beat bpm.

Where is shows how to step up a sequence, the PIP boxes come in using a DVE transition. Does this switcher have DVE TRANSITIONS??? That has been something the Roland products have been lacking in the past.

It's a beast of all the Roland's I have in my invetroy it's does everything my overpriced Bar_co do and it does it better
