The Roland VC-1-HS is designed with uncompromising picture quality in mind, maintaining the original signal’s integrity without introducing conversion artifacts or color space inaccuracies. It automatically detects the input video format and features a built-in re-clocker on the SDI output, which compensates for signal degradation over long cable runs (up to 300 meters for HD signals), ensuring stable and reliable transmission.

The converter also includes flexible audio management capabilities, allowing users to de-embed the audio from the incoming HDMI signal and embed it into the SDI stream. This is crucial for maintaining synchronized audio and video throughout the signal chain. With robust metal construction and a compact footprint, the VC-1-HS is highly portable and durable enough for road use or fixed installations in equipment racks. It supports both Level A and B 3G-SDI, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of professional monitoring and recording devices.
