Roland VR-120HD Direct Streaming A/V Mixer

VR‑120HD

The Roland VR‑120HD is a hybrid audio/video mixer and livestream switcher — a single “all‑in‑one” unit that handles video source switching, audio mixing, streaming, recording, and live production workflows. It’s designed to streamline live events, online streaming, concerts, worship services, webinars, corporate presentations — pretty much any situation requiring multiple video and audio sources plus output to both live audience and online viewers.

 Key Features & Capabilities

• Multiple video inputs (HDMI + SDI) — accepts up to 6 HDMI inputs and 6 SDI inputs, enabling cameras, computers, media players, consoles, etc., to be connected simultaneously.

• Flexible video output & routing — produces multiple outputs (HDMI, SDI, USB‑C, streaming over LAN) so you can feed live display, projector/LED wall, and online stream at once.

• Video effects engine & layering — supports up to 8 composition layers with picture‑in‑picture (PiP), overlays/graphics, downstream keys (DSK), external keys/chroma‑key, and layout flexibility for professional‑style output.

• Built‑in 42‑channel digital audio mixer — handles both embedded digital audio (from HDMI/SDI inputs) and analog audio (via XLR/¼″ inputs), with processing: EQ, compression, gates, auto‑mixing, voice processing, etc.

• Audio player + sound triggers — onboard storage for audio files and assignable trigger pads (e.g. for sound effects, music, announcements) — handy for events or live streams.

• Streaming & recording support — built‑in encoding lets you livestream directly over Ethernet or USB; simultaneously, you can record the stream to SDXC card for archiving or later editing.

• Automation & workflow tools — scene memory, macros, sequencer: lets you pre‑program complex sequences (switch video + audio + overlays) and trigger them with a single button — simplifies live production with minimal operators.

• PTZ‑camera control & advanced device support — supports remote control of multiple PTZ cameras (pan/tilt/zoom), tally signals, external control via network/RS‑232/GPIO — useful for multi‑camera livestreams or event coverage.

• Compact, portable form factor — much smaller than a full broadcast rack; easier to transport, set up, and use for small/medium productions or mobile livestream setups.
