Built for reliability in fast-paced production environments, the P-20HD is housed in a durable rackmount chassis. Its user interface is designed for efficiency, allowing a single operator to produce compelling replay content with minimal delay. By bringing accessible instant replay functionality to a wide range of productions, from high school sports to corporate events and professional broadcasts, the Roland P-20HD provides a powerful tool for adding dramatic impact and professional polish to live video presentations.
