About HD
An abbreviation for “High Definition,” HD is a generic term for television formats that, in
comparison to conventional TV formats, provide higher resolution and an improved angle of
view, and deliver a heightened sense of presence by means of large-screen. This is also referred
to as HDTV. Although there are a number of different types of HD, which can vary depending
on the country where the technology was developed, the V-440HD utilizes the standards
recommended in BT.709-3, established by the ITU in February, 1998.
About RGB
This format, used for output of video images with computers and other digital devices, uses
video signals whereby each of three main colors, red (R), green (G), and blue (B), are handled
separately.
About SD
An abbreviation for Standard Definition, this refers to formats currently in general use (such as
480I), as opposed to HD (High Definition).
Organization of the V-440HD
The V-440HD comprises two main sections, an “HD/RGB section,” which is used to
mix all video signals, and an “SD section,” used for managing all SD video. The
resulting mixes of composite video and S-video signals from the SD section (PGM
output) are sent to the HD/RGB section, where the HD and RGB video are mixed
and then output in either HD or RGB format.

HD Effects
• The V-440HD uses a variety of effects, including transitions (effects used when
switching video images), P in P, and key composite effects.
• Using the V-440HD in combination with an SD video switcher allows you to
compose video using up to six different effects simultaneously.
Equipped with High-Performance SD-to-HD/RGB Up-Converter
The V-440HD features an up-converter that converts SD output to the final output
format. This system enables up-conversion of SD video to HD and RGB with
superior image quality.
Main Features
HD/RGB Inputs
• The HD/RGB inputs provide for the input of four channels of HD or RGB video.
• HD inputs are compatible with 1080I as well as the typical 720p format. RGB inputs
are compatible with VGA (640 x 480), SXGA (1280 x 1024) formats.
• The HD/RGB inputs allow input through BNC and D-Sub connectors
• Any HD/RGB input component BNC and D-Sub connectors not in use for input can
be used as loop thru outputs.
SD Inputs
• The V-440HD features four input channels.
• SD inputs are compatible with both S-Video and component video.
•A preview output is provided for each of the SD inputs 1-4.
SD Video Mixer
• Capable of switching only SD video input.
• PGM output from the SD video mixer can be switched after being input to the
multiformat switcher. In addition, SD PGM output can be output as S-Video or
composite video.
• Effects, including transitions (effects used when switching video images), P in P, and
key composite effects can be used.
Multiscreen Displays
You can use to synchronize multiple V-440HDs easily, and use simple settings to
output the signals from one V-440HD to multiscreen displays. This eliminates any
need to prepare video for each individual screen.

Each “channel” is the equivalent of a “path” for the video
signals.
• Bus: On the V-440HD, you can select any combination of
channels to be controlled as a single group. On the V-
440HD, such a grouping of channels is referred to as a
“bus,” and the video for each bus can be selected from the
channels. The SD section features an A-BUS and B-BUS,
with the C-BUS and D-BUS included in the HD/RGB
section; in each bus you can control groupings of different
input channels.

infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if
you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure)
with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may
occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure
of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or
an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

About Loop Thru
The HD/RGB IN connector (D-sub) and HD/RGB IN connector (BNC) for any
particular channel are linked internally within the unit. So, for example, if analog
component signals are input to the Channel 1 HD/RGB IN connector (D-sub), the
same signals are output from the Channel 1 HD/RGB IN connector (BNC). This
function is called "Loop Thru."
Using Loop Thru, you can monitor the video output of each video input on a
television monitor, or even use the connections for multiscreen output.
However, the following precautions must be observed.
• Set the TERMINATOR 75Ω switch to ON when Loop Thru is not being used
Some devices may not function properly when Loop Thru is not in use unless the
TERMINATOR 75Ω switch is set to ON.
• Using more than one pass with Loop Thru may result in attenuation of the video
With three or more V-440HDs connected using Loop Thru, the video signal becomes
more attenuated the further down the signal path the V-440HD is.
When using identical video with three or more V-440HDs, be sure to use a
commercially available video multiplexer.

Precautions When Making Settings
The V-440HD is force cooled, using a cooling
fan to dissipate high interior temperatures.
Exterior air is drawn through the front panel
intake vent and expelled from the rear panel
exhaust vent (see figure).
• Use a vacuum cleaner or other means to
remove any dust that may accumulate in the
intake and exhaust vents.
With Rack-Mounting and Other Enclosures
Observe the following precautions when mounting the V-440HD in a rack or
portable case.
• Ensure that the location provides good air
flow.
• If the rack’s rear panel is not removable, ensure
that there is a minimum of 10 cm clearance
between the V-440HD’s exhaust vent and the
rack’s rear panel, and that the top of the rack
has a ventilation port or exhaust fan to expel
any accumulated heat.
• If mounted in a portable case, ensure that the
intake vent is not obstructed.
• Use due caution when mounting the V-440HD
in a rack or other enclosure so your fingers
don’t get wedged or pinched between the V440HD and the rack or enclosure.
