Awarding-winning multi-format conversion technology concentrated
in a simplified mini-converter.
Uncompromising commitment to picture quality. Faithful reproduction of video characteristics.
The VC-1 series faithfully converts the original source with no change
in color or brightness. It supports super-blacks and super-whites,
and converts video from cameras and other source devices with all
the originality intact.

On-board reclocker.
The VC-1 series reproduces the video characteristics of the original
source with no interlace artifacts, pixel shifting, or other conversion
problems or signal errors. Jitter and return loss are at exceptional levels
as well.

Support for 1080 p 3G-SDI.
Video signals beyond 1080i can be input and output. The VC-1 series
supports both level A and level B 3G-SDI, letting you connect a wide
variety of 3G-SDI equipment. 1080i, 720p, and SD signals are
accommodated automatically on connection.

The VC-1 series features an on-board reclocker to compensate for
attenuation of SDI signals carried over long distances. This makes it possible
to receive camera-relay video while maintaining a high image quality.

for the rigors of front-line use.
High quality, smart design.
The exterior plating is aluminum at 2 millimeters thick. The connectors
laid out inside the exterior plates are fastened to the chassis with nuts
and bolts. This makes for a heavy-duty specification that can keep
the connectors from coming loose even with frequent cable changes,
as well as withstanding impact and drops. Every connector has an LED
input indicator enabling you to confirm the status of signal transmission
at a glance. The series is built for uncompromising reliability that includes
accurate operation even over long periods of continuous use thanks to a
design featuring exceptional heat-radiating efficiency.
Connectors fastened with nuts or screws. LED input indicators for confirming signals
A form factor that accommodates use
on-the-go.
Cutaway areas in the exterior plate
enable you to fasten the unit to
tripods or the like using velcro or
elastic ties. This makes for convenient
placement and setup even during
live on-site use.
Support for workflow
combining audio and video.
Audio embedding and de-embedding features are provided
(
channel-selectable) in the VC-1 Series. The audio embedding feature
lets you place audio signals from a different source into the video output.
For example, when converting an SDI signal to HDMI, you can use the
audio embedding feature to output high-quality audio from any of the SDI
audio channels. Digital (AES/EBU) input and output are also supported,
letting you exchange sound between professional audio equipment with no
degradaton in signal. Analog input and output is supported as well making
it possible to both monitor and input audio to/from a wide variety of
equipment such as an audio console.
Easy configuration with DIP switches
upported as well making
from a wide variety of
tc
or dedicated PC/Mac software app.
DIP switches make it simple to accommodate on-site requirements.
Change the conversion direction or other settings by simply sliding a DIP
switch on the side of the unit. Delay Dials (VC-1-DL only) set the amount
of delay for video and audio. Set the amount of delay independently for
video and audio in a range of 0 to 9 fields (0 to 4.5 frames). Connection
to a computer via USB cable unlocks even greater versatility with
advanced settings including a memory location to lock in a favorite
configuration. Control and configure multiple VC-1 units at the same
time using a USB hub.
Attached to a tripod for mobile production
Support for HDCP HDMI signals.
The VC-1 series is compliant with HDCP. For example, the VC-1-DL can
take HDCP-applied HDMI input signals, apply frame synchronization or
delay, and produce HDCP-applied HDMI output. This allows the VC-1 series
to be used in any HDCP-based system with no worries.
* HDCP-applied HDMI signals cannot be converted to SDI
and recorded to HDMI recorders and editors.

Ensuring high quality while protecting the environment: Roland is ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified
At Roland, several group companies have obtained ISO9001 certification. In addition, in January 1999, Roland also received ISO14001 international environmental management
system certification. We’re actively seeking ways to maintain harmony with the environment.
(
ISO=International Standardization Organization: an organization for the promotion of standardization of international units and terms. They provide different categories of
certification: ISO9001 Series certification is a product quality certification for products that undergo a certain level of quality control from the design stage to the after service
stage; ISO14001 Series certification is for environment-related standards. Each member of the Roland Group is striving to obtain certification.
