Power Supply
•Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
•Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
•Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power cord's plug should be one that is within easy reach and readily accessible.
Placement
•This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
•Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
•Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
•When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
•Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.\nYou can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.
Maintenance
•For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
•Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
•Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up on USB memory, or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
6
Additional Precautions
•This unit allows you to switch images or turn video effects on/off at high speed. For some people, viewing such images can cause headache, nausea, or other discomfort. Do not use this unit to create video that might cause these types of health problems. Roland Corporation will accept no responsibility for any such health problems that may occur in yourself or in viewers.
•Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory on USB memory.
•Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
•Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
•Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
•A small amount of noise may be heard from the display during normal operation.
•When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
•A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.
•When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

Part Names and Functions
11.Compositing Section (p. 31, p. 34, p. 35)
On the V-1600HD, you can carry out the following three types of compositing.
•Picture-in-Picture (PinP)
This displays an inset screen on a background. Use the dial and joystick on the top panel to adjust the size and location of the inset screen.
*Instead of employing a smaller full-frame version of your video source in the PinP inset, you can re-position and re-size the video material within the inset screen. When [VIEW] is lit, you can re-size and re-position the video material inside the inset screen. When [PinP] is lit, you can re-position and re-size the inset screen itself.
•KEY
This overlays luminance-key or chroma-key compositing on the background video. You use the [GAIN] dial in this section to adjust the degree of edge blur and the [LEVEL] dial to adjust the amount of keying.
*By default, black luminance key is applied. You can use the menus to select other key colors. Refer to “Menu Operations and Menu List” (p. 47).
• DSK
When video transitions or mixing are performed upstream, and key compositing is performed farther downstream, the downstream compositing feature is called the “DSK” (downstream keyer). You use the [GAIN] dial in this section to adjust the degree of edge blur and the [LEVEL] dial to adjust the amount of keying.
*By default, channel 12 is configured as the source for DSK compositing. You can use the menus to select another channel. Refer to “Menu Operations and Menu List” (p. 47).
*By default, the extraction color for DSK compositing is set to black. You can use the menus to select a different colors. Refer to “Menu Operations and Menu List” (p. 47).
12.TRANSITION Dial and Indicator (p. 28)
Use this dial to set the transition time.
*By default, transition time is set to be displayed in seconds. You can use the menus to select a different unit. Refer to “Menu Operations and Menu List” (p. 47).
13.WIPE PATTERN Selectors (p. 29)
These select the effect used for a video transition.
*You can use the menus to select a different pattern. Refer to “Menu Operations and Menu List” (p. 47).
14.DSK Button (p. 36)
This displays or hides the video set to be the source for DSK compositing (set at channel 12 by default). It lights up when the source video is displayed and goes dark when the video is hidden.
15.TAKE Button (p. 29)
Press this button to output the channel that is in standby. The button flashes while a transition is being carried out. It goes dark when the transition is completed.
16.Video Fader (p. 30)
You can use the video fader instead of the [TAKE] button to output a channel that is in standby. When you use the [TAKE] button to make the transition, the transition occurs linearly, according to the setting of transition time, but when you use the video fader, you can stop the operation while it is in progress. In cases where you desire to show a double exposure before completing the transition, use the video fader.
