Roland Launches VC-1 At NAB

Roland Systems Group (RSG) will be using NAB 2013 to launch its VC-1 Series - a new range of portable video converters using Roland multi-format conversion technology, concentrated in a mini-converter.

The VC-1 Series will comprise of three models – the VC-1-HS (HDMI to SDI), VC-1-SH (SDI to HDMI), and VC-1-DL (Bi-directional SDI/HDMI with audio/video delay and frame sync).

The VC-1 Video Converter series converts the original source with no change in colour or brightness, supporting rich-blacks and super-whites. By maintaining the video characteristics there are no interlacing artifacts, pixel shifting or other conversion or signal errors sometimes found with other video converters.

The VC-1 series also features an on-board re-clocker to compensate for attenuation of SDI signals carried over long distances, making it possible to receive camera relay video while maintaining image quality. The VC-1 series also supports both level A and B 3G-SDI.

The VC-1 series is HDCP compliant allowing the conversion or delay of HDCP signals (VC-1-DL only) with the exception of any SDI output, allowing the VC-1 Series to be used in any HDCP based system.

Selectable audio embedding and de-embedding enables audio signals from a different source to be placed into the video output. Digital AES/EBU input and output signals are supported to ensure audio signals can be maintained through the signal flow.
