  • 12G-SDI And HDMI 2.0 Cross-Conversion Supports Modern 4K Production Formats
  • Built-In 4K Scaler And Down Converter Reduces Need For Additional Outboard Gear
  • ROI Cropping Enables On-The-Fly Reframing For LED Wall And Multi-Screen Layouts
  • XLR Balanced Analog Audio I/O With Embedding And De-Embedding For Pro Signal Chains
  • Up To 3-Second Audio Delay Compensation Ensures Precise Sync In Complex Rigs
  • Genlock And EDID Emulation Support Stable Multi-Device Broadcast Environments
  • Multi-Platform App Provides Editor, Library, And Real-Time Signal Status Monitoring

The Roland VC-1SC-4K is designed for production engineers, systems integrators, and broadcast technicians who need reliable 4K signal conversion without a full-scale rack processor. Supporting up to 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 cross-conversion, it handles the signal chain demands of LED wall systems, live event switching, and broadcast infrastructure where both format flexibility and signal integrity are non-negotiable. The built-in 4K scaler, down converter, and frame rate converter reduce the need for additional outboard gear, keeping setups lean without sacrificing capability.

For live production environments, the VC-1SC-4K integrates cleanly into Roland V-series switcher workflows and supports genlock and EDID emulation for stable multi-device operation. ROI cropping allows operators to define and reframe source content on the fly, which is particularly useful for LED wall applications and multi-screen layouts. Audio is handled at a professional level with XLR balanced analog I/O, embedded SDI and HDMI audio, and up to 3 seconds of delay compensation, giving audio engineers the sync control they need in complex signal chains.

Configuration and monitoring are handled through a dedicated multi-platform app that provides a full editor, a library for saving and recalling setups, and a status view for real-time video and audio signal monitoring. The app-based approach speeds up setup and reduces on-site troubleshooting time. Built and developed in Japan, the VC-1SC-4K reflects Roland's commitment to build quality and long-term reliability in professional production environments.
