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.

• 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.

Names of Things and What They Do

“Channels” and “Buses”

• Channel: Each of the V-440HD’s video inputs is called a

“channel.” The SD and HD/RGB sections feature Channels

1-4, with each channel being independently controlled.

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.

Pressing the OUTPUT FADE button again while the button is lit

or flashing causes the video output being faded out to fade back

in.

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.

Input and Output Settings

Since the V-440HD is capable of handling video input and output

with entirely different formats, it may be necessary to make

adjustments for the differences in picture quality and angle of view

in each video format. To match the device used for inputting video

to the V-440HD to the device receiving the output from the V-

440HD, make the input and output settings.

About Delayed Output

Note that, due to the process of up-converting and down-

converting processes, the use of multiple formats with the V-

440HD will result in a lag of several frames.

[Approximate Delays]

Input/Output SD PGM Out

SD Input 1 frame 2 frames

HD/RGB Input --- 1 frame

These delays may cause discrepancies in the timing of the

external audio and the video processed by the V-440HD. In

such a case you might use an audio delay line in order to

synchronize the video and audio.

HD/RGB Section Operations

In the HD/RGB section, you can switch and compose HD and RGB

video and the final video output from the SD section (SD PGM

video).

Switching in the HD/RGB Section

Using the V-440HD’s video fader (HD/RGB) along with the C-BUS

channel buttons (HD/RGB) and D-BUS channel buttons (HD/RGB),

you can switch between HD, RGB, and SD video input. Each type of

video being input is indicated in the input settings (p. 27).

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 V-440HD. 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.

Controlling the V-440HD from an External Device Via MIDI

The V-440HD can be controlled from an external device using MIDI.

For example, you can use a Roland multitrack recorder to control

video performances that are synchronized to the sounds.

This section explains some basics of MIDI and describes the use of

MIDI messages with the V-440HD.

Reference

IDI Connectors

The following three types of connectors are used in exchanging MIDI

messages (data handled with MIDI). On the V-440HD, the MIDI

OUT and MIDI THRU are combined in one connector. The function

is switched according to the operation being performed.

MIDI IN: MIDI messages from other MIDI devices are received here.

MIDI OUT: MIDI messages from the V-440HD are transmitted from

here. MIDI THRU: MIDI messages received at the MIDI IN

connector are output as is.

What is MIDI?

MIDI, an abbreviation for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is an

international standard created to enable exchange of performance

data among devices. Any MIDI-compatible device can be connected

simply with a MIDI cable, allowing transfer of performance data and

control of device operations and settings.

Linking Operations Via MIDI

You can use MIDI to link the operation of multiple V-440HDs. To do

so, make the following settings.

• Linking operation of multiple V-440HDs

Select "14. MIDI Setup" (p. 55) from the menu and set "4. MIDI

Out/Thru Switch" to "Thru."

• Linking operation using "Multi-Screen Output" (p. 39)

Controlling the V-440HD from an External Device Via MIDI

After switching on the power (when V-LINK is off), MIDI messages are

output from MIDI OUT in response to adjustments with the corresponding

buttons and knobs. In addition, adjustments identical to those made with the

buttons and knobs are made when the corresponding MIDI messages are

received at MIDI IN.

* For more about MIDI messages, refer to the "

For instructions on linking operation of multiple V-440HDs with

the Multi-Screen function, refer to "Multi-Screen Output" (p. 39).

Temporarily Switching Off Linked Operation

You can stop reception of MIDI signals temporarily by pressing the

MIDI button. This stops linked operation via MIDI and enables

independent functioning of one individual V-440HD.

To restore linked operation through MIDI, press the MIDI button

once more so the button is lit.

These generally transmit information, such as vibrato, hold, and

volume, that enhances the realism of performances. All functions are

organized according to a controller number from 0 to 127, with each

function being assigned its own number. On the V-440HD, these

messages are used with the video faders and knobs.

• System Exclusive Messages

These messages are used for transmitting device-specific settings.

On the V-440HD, these messages are used for transmitting P in P

settings and when setting the Multi Screen outputs.

When System Exclusive messages are exchanged, MIDI

transmissions are distinguished by Device IDs rather than MIDI

channels. When exchanging System Exclusive messages, set the

devices to the same Device ID.

MIDI channels

MIDI is able to send information over a single MIDI cable

independently to two or more MIDI devices. This is made possible

by the concept of MIDI channels. You can think of MIDI channels as

being somewhat similar in function to the channels on a television.

By changing the channel of a TV set, you can view a variety of

programs being transmitted by different broadcast stations. This is

because data is received only from the transmitter whose channel is

selected on the receiver.

In the same way, a MIDI device whose receive channel is set to [1]

will receive only the data being transmitted by another MIDI device

whose transmit channel is also set to [1.]

MIDI Implementation Chart

The use of MIDI makes it possible to communicate with a broad

range of electronic musical instruments. However, this does not

mean that all MIDI messages can be exchanged among all devices.

Only those MIDI messages that both of the communicating devices

are designed to understand can be exchanged. The owner’s manual

that comes with a MIDI device includes a MIDI Implementation

Chart (p. 66). Such charts allow you to easily find out which MIDI

messages that device can transmit and receive. When using MIDI

devices, compare the charts for the devices that will be

communicating to check which MIDI messages are compatible.

Control Using V-LINK

You can have control of the V-440HD be linked to the performance

of a V-LINK compatible instrument (when V-LINK is on)

What is V-LINK?

V-LINK ( ) is the name of a feature that makes it possible to

use MIDI to control visual presentations that are designed to

accompany a musical performance. Thanks to V-LINK, it’s easy to

present a variety of video linked to the expressive elements of a

performance.

With V-LINK, you can use Roland and Edirol instruments and music

devices to control the video without any degradation in the

instruments’ original functions (producing sounds).

Instructions for Using V-LINK

For information on switching V-LINK on and off, refer to the

Owner’s Manual for the V-LINK compatible device to be connected

to the V-440HD.

* You can confirm the V-LINK MODE status by checking whether or

not the MIDI button is lit. Select "14. MIDI setup"(p. 55) from the

menu and set “MIDI Sw Mode” to “V-Link Indicator“.

* To see which functions can be controlled from an external device with

V-LINK, refer to the MIDI Implementation on p. 66 as well as the

MIDI Implementation for the device being connected. The functions

that can be controlled may vary according to the device being

connected and the settings.

Installing the Rack Mount Hardware

Precautions to Observe When Attaching the Rack Mount Hardware

• Use the proper size Phillips head screwdriver for the screw

heads (No. 2 driver). Use of a screwdriver that does not fit the

screw heads may result in the heads becoming stripped.

• When removing the screws, turn the screwdriver in the

counterclockwise direction. To tighten the screws, turn the

screwdriver in the clockwise direction.

tightenloosen

• Remove only the specified screws when attaching the rack

mount hardware.

• Once the installation is complete, check it again to make sure

that is has been done correctly.

Instructions for Attaching the Rack Mount Hardware

About Maintenance

Daily Maintenance

Loss of air flow due to dust accumulating at the exhaust vent may

inhibit the forced cooling function. Using a vacuum cleaner or other

means, regularly remove accumulations of dust from the exhaust

vent and intake vent.

About the Fan

Malfunctioning of the fan will prevent the forced cooling function

from working properly, posing the danger of overheating and other

problems. If you cannot confirm that the fan is operational, please

consult your Roland dealer or a Roland ED Service Station.

1. Before attaching the rack mount hardware, turn the power

off to the V-440HD and all connected devices and disconnect all power cords and connection cables.

2. Turn the V-440HD over and remove the screws specified in

the following figure to remove the rack mount hardware.

Adjusting the SD Input Sync Level

The sync level of the SD signal output by some SD video devices may be lower than standard values, preventing adequate synching

when the V-440HD is set to factory default values. If this occurs, you may be able to achieve synchronization by adjusting the “13-5.

Video Sync Threshold” parameter.

Adjusting the Video Faders

Continued use of the video faders and transport of the V-440HD may make adjustments to the faders necessary. In such cases, use

the following procedure to make the adjustments.

[Adjusting the Video Fader (SD)]

1. Display the menu.

2. Select “4. SD V-Fdr Calibrate A” under “13. System.”

3. Tilt the video fader (SD) to the A-BUS.

4. The message “Are You Sure?” appears; select “Yes.”

5. Select “SD V-Fdr Calibrate B.”

6. Tilt the video fader (SD) to the B-BUS.

REMOTE Command Reference

For more information on transmission settings, refer to About the

REMOTE Connector (p. 44).

Overview of Commands

A command consists of an ASCII code sequence containing "stx,"

three uppercase letters of the alphabet, and a semicolon (";"). The

three letters of the alphabet indicate the command type. If the

command has an argument, a colon (":") is inserted between the two

letters of the alphabet and the argument. When multiple arguments

occur, they are separated by commas (",").

"stx" This is the ASCII code signal name (code number 02H

[hexadecimal]) and code that signals the command start.

":" This is the code used by the Presenter to separate the

command and its arguments.

";" This is the code used by the Presenter to signify the end of a

command.

Example 1) When transmitting the A-BUS channel select command -

> the ASCII code string stxSIA; is transmitted.

Example 2) When setting the SD section P in P horizontal placement

at 50%, vertical placement at 25%, and size at 50% -> the ASCII code

string stxSPI:50,70,95; is transmitted.

■3-2. V-LINK (Model ID = 00H 51H)

* Addresses marked by # are sent as two bytes; an upper nibble (upper 4 bits) and lower nibble (lower 4 bits).

Example) If the original data is channel B, 0BH is transmitted as the first byte. The next byte transmitted is 0CH. For reception, this is ignored if two bytes are not received together.

* If -- is shown in the value field, the V-440HD does not have a corresponding parameter. This will be ignored if received.

■Decimal and hexadecimal conversion table

(The letter “H” follows numbers in hexadecimal notation.)

MIDI uses hexadecimal notation in 7-bit units to indicate data values and addresses and

sizes within an exclusive message. Hexadecimal and decimal numbers correspond as

follows.

+——————+——————++——————+——————++——————+——————++——————+——————+ | Deci | Hexa || Deci | Hexa || Deci | Hexa || Deci | Hexa | +——————+——————++——————+——————++——————+——————++——————+——————+ | 0 | 00H || 32 | 20H || 64 | 40H || 96 | 60H | | 1 | 01H || 33 | 21H || 65 | 41H || 97 | 61H | | 2 | 02H || 34 | 22H || 66 | 42H || 98 | 62H | | 3 | 03H || 35 | 23H || 67 | 43H || 99 | 63H | | 4 | 04H || 36 | 24H || 68 | 44H || 100 | 64H | | 5 | 05H || 37 | 25H || 69 | 45H || 101 | 65H | | 6 | 06H || 38 | 26H || 70 | 46H || 102 | 66H | | 7 | 07H || 39 | 27H || 71 | 47H || 103 | 67H | | 8 | 08H || 40 | 28H || 72 | 48H || 104 | 68H | | 9 | 09H || 41 | 29H || 73 | 49H || 105 | 69H | | 10 | 0AH || 42 | 2AH || 74 | 4AH || 106 | 6AH | | 11 | 0BH || 43 | 2BH || 75 | 4BH || 107 | 6BH | | 12 | 0CH || 44 | 2CH || 76 | 4CH || 108 | 6CH | | 13 | 0DH || 45 | 2DH || 77 | 4DH || 109 | 6DH | | 14 | 0EH || 46 | 2EH || 78 | 4EH || 110 | 6EH | | 15 | 0FH || 47 | 2FH || 79 | 4FH || 111 | 6FH | | 16 | 10H || 48 | 30H || 80 | 50H || 112 | 70H | | 17 | 11H || 49 | 31H || 81 | 51H || 113 | 71H | | 18 | 12H || 50 | 32H || 82 | 52H || 114 | 72H | | 19 | 13H || 51 | 33H || 83 | 53H || 115 | 73H | | 20 | 14H || 52 | 34H || 84 | 54H || 116 | 74H | | 21 | 15H || 53 | 35H || 85 | 55H || 117 | 75H | | 22 | 16H || 54 | 36H || 86 | 56H || 118 | 76H | | 23 | 17H || 55 | 37H || 87 | 57H || 119 | 77H | | 24 | 18H || 56 | 38H || 88 | 58H || 120 | 78H | | 25 | 19H || 57 | 39H || 89 | 59H || 121 | 79H | | 26 | 1AH || 58 | 3AH || 90 | 5AH || 122 | 7AH | | 27 | 1BH || 59 | 3BH || 91 | 5BH || 123 | 7BH | | 28 | 1CH || 60 | 3CH || 92 | 5CH || 124 | 7CH | | 29 | 1DH || 61 | 3DH || 93 | 5DH || 125 | 7DH | | 30 | 1EH || 62 | 3EH || 94 | 5EH || 126 | 7EH | | 31 | 1FH || 63 | 3FH || 95 | 5FH || 127 | 7FH | +——————+——————++——————+——————++——————+——————++——————+——————+

* Decimal expressions used for MIDI channel, bank select, and program change are 1

greater than the decimal value shown in the above table.

* Hexadecimal values in 7-bit units can express a maximum of 128 levels in one byte of

data. If the data requires greater resolution, two or more bytes are used. For example, a

value indicated by a hexadecimal expression in two 7-bit bytes “aa bb” would be “aa x

128 + bb.”

<Example1> What is the decimal equivalent of 5AH?

From the above table, 5AH = 90.

<Example2> What is the decimal expression of the hexadecimal

expression in two 7-bit bytes “12H 34H”?

From the above table, 12H = 18, and 34H = 52. Thus,

18 x 128 + 52 = 2356

■Exclusive message examples and checksum calculation

Roland exclusive messages (RQ1, DT1) contain a checksum following the data (after F7),

which can be used to check whether the message was received correctly. The checksum

value is derived from the address and data (or size) of the transmitted exclusive message.

●Calculating the checksum (‘H’ is appended to hexadecimal numbers)

The checksum is a value that produces a lower 7 bits of zero when the address, size, and

checksum itself are summed. If the exclusive message to be transmitted has an address of

aaH bbH ccH and the data is ddH eeH, the actual calculation would be as follows:

aa + bb + cc + dd + ee = sum

sum / 128 = quotient ••• Eremainder

128 - remainder = checksum

<Example> Assigning Modulation as the control change that controls the transition effect

time for the HD “Video Fader” of Tx/Rx Setting.

From the “Parameter address map,” the “Video Fader” of Tx/Rx Setting transition effect

time has a start address of 01H 10H 14H, and the Modulation control change has a

parameter value 01H. Thus,

41H 10H 00H 00H 10H 12H 01H 10H 00H 01H ??H 7FH

F0H

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9)

(1) Exclusive status (2) ID number (Roland)

(3) Device ID (17) (4) Model ID (V-440HD)

(5) Command ID (DT1) (6) Address

(7) Data (8) Checksum

(9) EOX

Next, we calculate the checksum.

01H + 10H + 14H + 01H = 1 + 0 + 20 + 0 + 1 = 22 (sum)

22 (sum) / 128 = 0 (quotient) •••22 (remainder)

Checksum = 128 - 22 (remainder) = 126 = 6EH

Thus, the message to be transmitted is F0H 41H 00H 00H 10H 12H 01H 10H 14H 00H 01H

7EH 7FH

■Settings Transmitted/Received Using MIDI

●MIDI Tx Channel

This sets the V-440HD's MIDI Transmit channel.

The factory default setting is 1.0

■Examples of MIDI messages

<Example1> 92H 33H 5F

9n is the Note-on status, and n is the MIDI channel number.

2H = 2, 3EH = 62, and 5FH = 95. Thus, this is a Note-on message of MIDI

CH= 3, note number 62 (note name D4), and velocity 95.

<Example2> CEH 49H

CnH is the Program Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number.

EH = 14, and 49H = 73. Thus, this is a Program Change message of MIDI

CH= 15, program number 74 (in the GS sound map, Flute).

<Example3> EAH 00H 28H

EnH is the Pitch Bend Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number.

The second byte (00H=0) is the lower byte of the pitch bend value, and the

third byte (28H=40) is the upper byte. Since the pitch bend value is a

signed value with 40H 00H (= 64 x 128 + 0 = 8192) corresponding to 0, the

pitch bend value in this case is:

28H 00H - 40H 00H = 40 x 128 + 0 - (64 x 128 + 0) = 5120 - 8182 - -3072

If the Pitch Bend Sensitivity is set to two semitones, a pitch change of -8192

(00H 00H) would change the pitch by -200 cents, so in this case, a pitch

bend of -200 x (-3072) / (-8192) = -75 cents is being designated on MIDI

channel 11.

Troubleshooting

If the V-440HD does not function properly, first check the following points before determining there is some malfunction. If after checking these points the problem persists, consult the nearest Roland Service Center or Roland dealer.

Video Output

Video not being output

Confirm that the connected video device is properly connected as described in “Making the Connections” (p. 20). If the connections are correct, check the following points.

• Appropriate format for video device not selected

Check to confirm whether or not the output selected is suited for the video device connected to the HD/RGB output connectors.

• Output connectors and output format not properly selected

If the video device is connected to the HD OUT connectors, confirm that 1080i or 720p is selected with the OUTPUT FORMAT button. If the video device is connected to the RGB OUT connectors, confirm that RGB is selected with the OUTPUT FORMAT button.

Video output is disrupted

• Final output not locked

Changing the V-440HD’s output format settings may prevent locking of the video with the device receiving the video. If this occurs, try turning off the power to all devices, then turning on the power to the transmitting device (e.g., video deck), the V-440HD, and the receiving video device, in that order.

• Video output incompatible with receiving device

If the video output from the V-440HD is in a format that is not compatible with the receiving device (such as a television monitor or projector), the receiving device may be unable to output images well. After confirming the formats compatible with the receiving device, set the video output in the menu (p. 24).

• Reference signal (black burst signal) properly connected to

device requiring it

The V-440HD does not input or output reference signals (black burst signals), thus video images may become disrupted when the reference signals are connected to devices that require them. If this occurs, use the following methods of avoiding disruption of the video images.

• Input the signals output from the V-440HD’s HD OUTPUT

connector 2 Y connector to the reference signal input connector

on the device requiring reference signals.

• Switch the device requiring the reference signal to a mode that

uses reference signals within the component signals.

Color of input video is incorrect

As the V-440HD inputs and outputs HD, RGB, and SD signals as analog signals, differences in individual devices can lead to color variance, even with the same video sources. Correct these differences with “2. HD/RGB Input” (p. 49) in the menu.

• Mistake in BNC connector used for inputting component video

When inputting component signals, connecting to the wrong BNC connectors may result in video being displayed monochrome image. Confirm that the connections to each BNC connector are correct.

Video images input to HD/RGB are disrupted

• Video being input with differing System Frame Rate settings (p. 42)

When the video format uses a different frame rate than the system frame rate set for the V-440HD, the video image may at times move in a disjointed fashion due to the frame rate conversion processing required.

• Video being input with frame rate different than that for the

output format (p. 26)

When the video format uses a different frame rate than the frame rate set for the V-440HD’s output format, the video image may at times move in a disjointed fashion due to the frame rate conversion processing required.

Aspect ratio of video input using RGB signals is off

• Settings not matching screen’s aspect ratio

In some instances, the screen aspect ratio of the device to which the finished video images are being input may not match the aspect ratio of the RGB input video. Make the settings selected in the menu (p. 24) to achieve the proper aspect ratio.

• RGB input’s horizontal synchronization set to rate other than 60

Hz or 75 Hz

If the horizontal synchronization of the RGB video is not properly matched to the 60 or 75 settings, the video image will be extended vertically as a result.

• Does the signal conform to VESA standards?

• The RGB signal output of some devices may not properly

conform to VESA standards. When such signals are used, the

screen image may be extended vertically or horizontally as a

result.

If this occurs, you can adjust the aspect ratio of the RGB video images by setting “6. Manual X Scale” and “7. Manual Y Scale” under "2. HD/RGB Input" (p. 49) in the menu.

Screen shows visible vertical discrepancies

Video input to the HD/RGB IN connectors is disrupted

• Instability of the video

Depending on the condition of the video signals input to the V440HD, the video image may become very unstable when the C-BUS or D-BUS channel buttons are used to switch the video (when the lock is off). If this occurs, go to "2. HD/RGB Input" (p. 49) in the menu and set "1. Format Auto Detect" to "Manual," then select the video to be input with "Input Format."

• Video being input to the BNC and D-Sub connectors on the

same channel

Inputting two video sources to the same channel creates interference in the internal circuitry, resulting in disruption of the images. Input video sources to different channels.

The screen aspect ratio may be distorted if the format of the output video does not match the settings of the device receiving HD output or RGB output.

Not all of the video appearing in the screen

Some receiving devices may not display all of the video output from the V-440HD. This may be due to differences in the size of the region in which video is not displayed (the safe area) in some receiving devices. To adjust the video size so that it does not reach into the safe area, set “4. Zooming” under “1. HD/RGB Output” in the menu.

Page 73

Troubleshooting

Effects Operations in Individual Sections

Screen is disrupted when video is switched

• When using transition, P in P, or key composite effects

Disruption of the video images may occur when the video is switched with the A-BUS (B-BUS) SD IN select buttons or the C-BUS (D-BUS) HD/RGB IN select buttons. Switch the video after first stopping the effect.

Subscreen not displayed when P in P is used

• Subscreen positioned near the edge of the screen

When setting the subscreen position with the POSITION joystick or by other means, most of the subscreen may end up outside of the screen itself. If this occurs, the subscreen will not appear in the screen. In such instances, use the POSITION joystick to move the subscreen back to a position where it is visible.

• When using the Multi Screen function

When the Multi Screen function (p. 39) is used, part of the screen is expanded when displayed. In this case, the subscreen portion does not expand, and as a result, the subscreen may cease to appear. If this occurs, use the POSITION joystick to move the subscreen back to a suitable position.

Video image not being removed properly with the key effects

Adjust the value of the “Soft Edge” setting in the menu. If the value is set too high, portions of the video not belonging to the key image may also end up being masked. Use video input that features a high signal-to-noise ratio. For example, you can achieve better key composite results with HD key images than with SD key images.

• When using the Multi Screen function

When the Multi Screen function (p. 39) is used, the key composite conditions of the master and slave V-440HDs may differ. This is because the video input for these V-440HDs comprises analog signals, with the resulting differences in video signals being the physical cause of this problem. To mitigate these conditions, adjust the “Brightness” and “Contrast” parameters with "2. HD/RGB Input" (p. 49) and "7. SD Input" (p. 51) while using the key composite effects, adjusting each V-440HD so that the same video is synthesized.

* When using the Multi Screen function, the LEVEL knob function is

linked to the master and slave devices, so you should lock in a fixed

value.

Screen is disrupted when video is switched

• When using transition, P in P, or key composite effects

Video fader not operating properly

• Video fader calibration setting seems to be wrong

With time and extended use, the settings for the video faders’ top and bottom positions may drift into inaccuracy. If this occurs, adjust the video faders (p. 54) with the settings in "13. System" (p. 54) in the menu.

No movement when POSITION joystick adjusted

The P in P position may fail to move even when the POSITION joystick is adjusted. If this occurs, check the LOCK button next to the POSITION joystick to see whether or not the button is lit. If the button is lit, it indicates that the POSITION button is locked, which prevents the POSITION joystick from functioning. To enable operation of the POSITION joystick, press the LOCK button so its light is off.

Other

V-440HD becoming hot

• Something is blocking the exhaust vent or ventilation port

The V-440HD is cooled with forced air, so if anything impeding the exhaust vent or any other air flow intake or vent, it will prevent proper cooling of the V-440HD.

• Other equipment is stacked on top of the V-440HD

Setting other devices directly on top of the V-440HD may result in heat from these devices being transferred to the V-440HD, thus causing the V-440HD to overheat. In such situations, either raise the other device upwards away from the V-440HD or provide shelving or racks placed between the devices.

Odd noises coming from inside the unit

• Debris is caught in the exhaust vent

The V-440HD is cooled with forced air, using a cooling fan installed inside the exhaust vent. If anything caught up in cooling fan, it can cause audible noises from the interior of the V-440HD, and may even lead to damage. Do not place any objects liable to enter the exhaust vent near the vent. If something does get inside the exhaust vent and you are unable to remove it from the outside, contact the nearest Roland Service Center.
