Roland V-1HD-W 4-Channel HD Video Switcher w/ Web Stream

The Roland V-1HD-W is a compact, professional 4-channel HD video switcher that integrates live video switching, audio mixing, and direct web streaming into a single, streamlined device. Designed for content creators, educators, corporate presenters, and small production teams, it simplifies the process of creating polished, multi-source live video productions. The switcher supports four HDMI inputs, allowing users to connect cameras, computers, media players, and other HD sources, and switch between them seamlessly with a variety of transitions including cuts, fades, and picture-in-picture (PiP) effects. Its standout feature is the built-in streaming engine, which can broadcast the program feed directly to live streaming platforms like YouTube, Facebook Live, and Twitch via a wired Ethernet connection, eliminating the need for an external computer or encoder.

Operation is intuitive, with a hardware-based control panel featuring dedicated buttons for source selection and transitions, making it accessible even for users without extensive technical training. The integrated audio mixer allows for blending of audio from the HDMI inputs with two dedicated mic/line inputs (XLR/TRS combo jacks), providing balanced control over voice commentary, background music, and source audio. A large, bright Tally light system on the front of the unit and remote Tally outputs help camera operators know when their feed is live. The V-1HD-W also functions as a high-quality USB video and audio interface for a computer, enabling easy recording of the program feed or use with software like Zoom or OBS for more advanced streaming workflows.

Built with portability and reliability in mind, the V-1HD-W has a rugged metal chassis and is compact enough for desktop use or to fit into a small production case. It outputs a clean HDMI program feed for local displays or recording while simultaneously handling the streaming encode. This combination of versatile video switching, capable audio mixing, and integrated, computer-free streaming in one affordable package makes the Roland V-1HD-W an ideal all-in-one solution for live webinars, online teaching, church services, product launches, and any application where creating an engaging, professional live video stream with multiple sources is required.
