Expandability has also been a key design feature and Edirol says it has ensured that chaining together multiple units of the V-440HD is pain-free, enabling a single HD image to spread across multiple output displays - ideal for multi-screen performances. The V-Link control system built into the V-440HD enables users to control the mixer from other Edirol products, as well as Roland's V-Link-enabled musical instruments - opening up the creative possibilities still further. This is coupled with RS-232C connectors for traditional computer control.
Massimo Barbini, managing director of Edirol (Europe) Ltd, comments: "We are excited about offering a solution that will allow our customers to grow into HD. With the V-440HD's ability to handle SD and HD video and WXGA on multiple inputs, many users can start using it now with their existing equipment and data projectors. As they acquire HD/HDV cameras or higher-resolution display technology, the mixer will continue to serve them well."
