Description
The Roland XS-1HD Multi-Format Matrix Switcher is a versatile, tabletop 4-In/4-Out HDMI matrix switcher capable of resolutions of up to WUXGA/1080p. The unit offers frame synchronization and scaling on all inputs, while three operational modes provide a variety of applications. Matrix mode allow for switching of four sources to any of four outputs, while Switcher mode allows picture-in-picture, key-compositing, and dissolve transitions. Split mode allows picture-in-picture of up to three inset windows with individual position, size, and layering. The built-in audio mixer allows the HDMI audio and analog stereo input to be mixed. There's also an "audio follow" function that switches the audio in synchronization with video transitions. The switcher offers sixteen memories, allowing for easy recall when needed. The XS-1HD ships with a power adapter and power cord.Main Features A tabletop matrix switcher that's the width of a 13 laptop, equipped with four HDMI inputs and outputsHigh-quality 4:4:4/10-bit processing at up to WUXGA/1080pFrame synchronizer and scaler on all inputsThree operation modes:Matrix mode allows switching of 4 sources to any of 4 outputsSwitcher mode allows picture-in-picture, key-compositing, and dissolve transitionsSplit mode allows picture-in-picture of up to three inset windowsBuilt-in eight-channel digital audio mixer handles audio from four HDMI signals and stereo analog inputsBuilt-in EDID emulator, and HDCP-compliantStill images can be loaded from a USB flash drive System Overview Panel layout: even with its compact footprint, the XS-1HD lets you operate its powerful functions using only the operation panel. Since HDMI input/output and the controls are integrated into a single unit, it can be used in a variety of situations such as on a small desk or podium or on a media cartCross-point buttons: these buttons select the input channel for each output. The vertical columns correspond to the inputs, and the horizontal rows correspond to the outputs. Buttons are lite-up white when a video signal is presentQuick edit: this function lets you adjust the video or audio from the operation panel without the need to access the menu. You can control settings such as the position and scaling of the image, the location of the picture-in-picture inset windows, and the audio volumeHDMI Input/Output: HDMI connectors allow video and audio (stereo) to be input and output. A scaler and EDID emulator are built in for each input, and HDCP is also supported, allowing for even rights-protected content to be switchedUSB memory port: settings can be backed up on a USB flash drive. Still images can also be loaded, and instantly displayed when neededAudio Input/Output: line-level stereo input and output are available and can be mixed with audio that is input via HDMI. Audio embedding and de-embedding are supported, along with audio delay to adjust for lip-syncRemote control: serial control is enabled. It is possible to cooperate with other switchers and mixers and control from the outsideScreen Modes Matrix mode: four input video signals can be individually switched to one of four outputs. Since a scaler is provided for each of the four inputs, you can connect a mix of video devices such as cameras, PCs, media players, Blu-ray discs, or smartphones. You can switch between videos by fading-in/out and can adjust desired transition time using the TIME knobSwitcher mode: this mode lets you use a cross-dissolve to seamlessly transition between sources, or use picture-in-picture or key-compositing. A multiview input preview can be output from HDMI OUT 4 for confirming input sources while operating the unit. If you're not using picture-in-picture or key-compositing, you can use an AUX bus to output a separate video signal to a confidence monitor or other destinationSplit mode: this mode composites multiple videos into a single screen for output. Up to three small screens can be composited into a background video. The position, size, and
