Roland V-1200HD Multi-Format Video Switcher - Manual (Page 2)

The 4:2:2 engine's variety of M/E modes allows for more creative freedom.
This is the highest-performance operation style, capable of using
PGM/PST rows as the final stage in addition to 1 M/E. All four keyers can
be used in 1 M/E. You can freely change the priority of each keyer, and
even copy keyers. This mode enables complex mixing operations such as
a video source plus 4-layers of composition and transition functions to
another single video source.
This provides a standard 2 M/E operation style. Two keyers can be used
with each M/E. Keyer priority can also be assigned and changed. Not
only is re-entry of the video source from M/E 1 to M/E 2 possible, but so
is reverse re-entry from M/E 2 to M/E 1. Each of the two M/Es can be
output independently allowing for applications such as simultaneous
transmission of captions in two different languages.
2 M/E Mode
1.5 M/E Mode
This is a simple operation style using 1 M/E + 4 keys. In addition to using PGM/PST
rows on the main line, you can use two AUX buses. This mode allows discrete
video feeds to be switched and routed to additional outputs making the
V-1200HD the ideal primary switcher for a number of broadcast and live
performance applications.
1 M/E Mode
This functions as a 4K/60p routing switcher by combining four SDI inputs
or outputs to achieve a single 4K source. Installing an XI-SDI SDI
expansion card enables 4K routing of up to three inputs and two outputs.
* 4K HDMI input/output is not supported.
* M/Es and keyers cannot be used.
4K Switching Mode
There are two scalers between the 4:2:2 engine and the 4:4:4 engine,
and two scalers between HDMI IN 3 and 4 and the 4:4:4 engine.
These enable switching, self key composition, and matrix output.
When using HDMI direct in and out, all processing is done using
4:4:4 10-bit that supports RGB and computer signals.
4:4:4 Multi-Format Processor
Flexible M/E
Innovative hybrid processing from Roland
In addition to a 4:2:2 video process widely used
for video signals, 4:4:4 signals that are the
standard output for computers are handled by
a separate processing engine.

A comprehensive and flexible multi-format video switcher giving
you complete control of video sources, key layers and mixing
engine configurations. The V-1200HD introduces a unique flexible
hybrid engine with 4:2:2 broadcast switcher and 4:4:4 live event
switcher. In addition to powerful video capabilities, the V-1200HD
also has a built-in 16-channel audio mixer.
