Roland VP-42H 4-Input HDMI Video Processor and Matrix Switcher

Installers and event producers who need flexible signal routing without a full production switcher will find the Roland VP-42H video processor hits a sweet spot. Four HDCP-supported HDMI inputs feed two independent HDMI outputs, letting one compact 1U-friendly box act as a matrix switcher, multi-window processor, and scaler for boardrooms, houses of worship, and live event displays.

Layer composition sets the VP-42H apart from a simple matrix: up to four picture-in-picture layers can be arranged per output, with a keyer on layer 1 for graphics or titles, plus black-insert, mix, cut, and motion transitions. Processing is 10-bit 4:4:4/4:2:2 quality across SD/HD formats from 480i to 1080p and computer resolutions up to 1920x1200/60, and a built-in 4-channel audio mixer with up to 250 ms of delay keeps embedded HDMI and RCA stereo audio in sync with the picture.

Ten scene memories store complete routing and layout setups for instant recall, while remote control over RS-232, LAN (RJ45), and USB integrates the processor into control systems and automated venues. At 242 x 125 x 44 mm and 1.2 kg with an included rack mount angle set, it deploys easily anywhere multi-source HDMI processing is needed.
