Video devices that accept uncompressed signals such as SDI and HDMI have become more common in live production, and as a result, the need for video conversion is essential. The Roland VC-1-SC Video Converter is ideal for live production where analogue or digital sources are required to match a certain SDI and/or HDMI video format, aspect ratio, frame rate, or input type. The versatility of this converter to support a variety of configurations for live production and installations make it highly valuable in many applications.
The VC-1-SC features 3G (Level A and B)/HD/SD SDI In/Out, HDMI In/Out, RGB/Component In and Composite In as well as HDCP support. Selectable audio embedding and de-embedding enables audio signals from a different source to be placed into the video output. A built-in Frame Synchronizer and Scaler as well as Up/Down/Cross, Frame Rate, I/P and Aspect Ratio Conversion add to the professional features of this compact product. The VC-1-SC can also be controlled via PC/Mac using the Control Application (VC-1 RCS).
