Roland VC-1-SC

Overview
Roland’s new video converters, the VC-1 series, offer a range of features to meet the demands of high-quality video and audio conversion in live and post-production settings, as well as installed systems. These converters include the VC-1-HS (HDMI to SDI), VC-1-SH (SDI to HDMI), VC-1-DL (Bi-directional SDI/HDMI with audio/video delay and frame sync), and VC-1-SC (Up/Down/Cross Scan converter to/from SDI/HDMI).

The VC-1 series ensures uncompromising picture quality by preserving the original video characteristics, including rich-blacks and super-whites, without any interlacing artifacts or signal errors. It also features an on-board re-clocker to compensate for signal attenuation over long distances. Additionally, the VC-1 series supports both level A and B 3G-SDI, allowing for a variety of higher quality SDI sources to be connected. These converters are also HDCP compliant, with the exception of any SDI output, and offer selectable audio embedding and de-embedding for routing different audio sources. Digital AES/EBU input and output signals are also supported, ensuring high-quality audio signals throughout the signal flow.

About the Roland VC-1-SC
Up/Down/Cross Scan Converter to/from SDI/HDMI
Roland’s new video converters address the demand for high-quality, lossless video and audio converters for live/post production as well as installed systems. They include the Roland VC-1-HS (HDMI to SDI), VC-1-SH (SDI to HDMI), VC-1-DL (Bi-directional SDI/HDMI with audio/video delay and frame sync) and VC-1-SC (Up/Down/Cross Scan converterto/from SDI/HDMI).

The VC-1 Video Converter series provides uncompromising picture quality by maintaining the video characteristics of the original signal with rich-blacks and super-whites. There are no interlacing artifacts 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. The VC-1 series also supports both level A and B 3G-SDI, letting you connect a variety of higher quality SDI sources.

The VC-1 series is HDCP compliant allowing you to convert or pass-through HDCP signals with the exception of any SDI output. The VC-1-DL additionally enables the HDCP signal to be delayed. Selectable audio embedding and de-embedding lets you route different audio sources to or from video devices. Digital AES/EBU input and output signals are supporting ensuring high-quality audio signals can be maintained through the signal flow.
