The Roland VC-1-SH is a state-of-the-art SDI to HDMI video converter designed to deliver high-quality, lossless video and audio conversion for live production, post-production, and installed systems. This converter ensures uncompromising picture quality by maintaining the video characteristics of the original signal, including rich blacks and super-whites, without interlacing artifacts or signal errors. It supports 3G (Level A&B), HD, and SD SDI formats, making it versatile for various professional applications. The VC-1-SH features HDCP compliance, allowing for the conversion or pass-through of HDCP signals, except for any SDI output. With selectable audio embedding and de-embedding, you can route different audio sources to or from video devices, ensuring high-quality audio signals through digital AES/EBU input and output. The on-board re-clocker compensates for signal attenuation over long distances, making it ideal for extended setups. This converter is especially complementary to the Roland V-40HD multi-format video mixer when using an SDI camera as an input to the mixer. The VC-1-SH provides a cost-effective monitoring solution by converting SDI signals to HDMI, making it an essential tool for any professional video setup.
