Roland V-80HD 8-Channel Direct Streaming Video Switcher with SDI, HDMI & SRT

The Roland V-80HD Direct Streaming Video Switcher is an all-in-one, eight-channel professional production switcher that handles live events, house-of-worship broadcasts, studio productions, and web streaming from a single compact unit. It combines 3G SDI and HDMI video switching, a 28-channel digital audio mixer, RTMP/SRT live streaming, and integrated PTZ camera control — eliminating the need for multiple standalone devices at any production.

For producers comparing the best video switcher for live streaming events, the V-80HD stands apart through its depth of automation: 32 scene memories, 100 macros, and a 1,000-step sequencer let a single operator run a complex show with perfectly timed cues. It's an ideal compact video switcher with SDI and HDMI for conference centers, touring productions, and fixed-install venues that need broadcast-grade output without a full production crew. The companion Graphics Presenter software for Windows adds professional animated titles and motion graphics over a single HDMI connection — no third-party graphics system required.

The V-80HD's five-layer video effects engine supports two Picture-in-Picture (PinP) windows with key composition, a Downstream Keyer (DSK) with fill/key and alpha channel support, and eight WIPE transition types. SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) provides encrypted, low-latency AVoIP delivery to remote destinations over LAN or internet — a future-proof connectivity standard for installed AV systems. The unit also integrates bi-directionally with Yamaha DM3 Series digital mixing consoles, enabling unified audio/video control for small-team productions. Remote operation is available via dedicated apps for iPad, macOS, and Windows.

Key Features of the Roland V-80HD Video Switcher

• 8-Channel Multi-Format Video Switching: Handles four 3G SDI inputs with frame rate converters and four HDMI inputs — including two 4K inputs with HD downscalers — giving productions maximum source flexibility in a single chassis.
• Plug-and-Play USB-C Streaming: The USB-C output registers as a standard webcam on any connected computer or smartphone, enabling instant streaming to Zoom, Teams, YouTube, Twitch, or any RTMP/RTMPS/SRT platform without additional hardware.
• 28-Channel Digital Audio Mixer with Effects: A full-featured onboard audio engine with channel-level processing (high-pass filter, compressor, 4-band EQ, de-esser, noise gate) and master effects including a 15-band GEQ, Loudness Auto Gain Control, and Adaptive Noise Reduction — purpose-built for live streaming and broadcast.
• Integrated PTZ Camera Control: Simultaneously controls up to eight PTZ cameras from Canon, JVC, Panasonic, Sony, PTZOptics, Avonic, and VISCA-compatible brands, with full pan-tilt-zoom management from the panel or remote iPad app.
• Five-Layer Video Effects Engine: Delivers two PinP windows, two Luminance/Chroma Keyers, and one DSK with Alpha Key support, plus a 32-slot still store for screen capture and uploaded BMP, JPEG, and PNG images with alpha channel.
• Powerful Production Automation: Scene memories (32), macros (100), and a sequencer (1,000 steps) work together so a single operator can execute complex, precisely timed cues — ideal for worship, corporate events, and broadcast studios.
• Versatile 7-Output Routing: Two 3G SDI outputs, three HDMI outputs, one USB-C streaming output, and LAN (RTMP/SRT) can all be independently assigned across 10 buses, feeding program, aux, multiview, and online audiences simultaneously.
• SDXC Card Recording: Captures H.264 MP4 video and independent stereo WAV audio directly to an SDXC card, delivering ready-to-edit files to clients without any additional recording hardware.
