Maximum Connectivity
Nearly all modern cameras and digital video devices use HDMI, the most common AV connector on the planet. The V-8HD seamlessly mixes eight HDMI sources with Full HD support, even when the sources have mismatched frame rates and color spaces. And with the built-in scalers on two of the HDMI inputs, you can easily interface with client-provided sources like computers, tablets, smartphones, gaming consoles, and legacy 4:3 devices.

The Power of More
Creative professionals need more video inputs for layered graphics and visual effects, and business professionals often need multiple backup video sources. Having the ability to meet all these needs brings satisfied clients and greater audience engagement. 

Set Up Layers, Effects, and Keys
Video effects, layers, and graphics add polish and excitement to any production. With the V-8HD’s five composition layers, you’ll always keep audiences engaged with visually appealing content. Prepare the content according to client specifications and separate it into layers:

Ultra-Mobile, Lightweight, and Efficient
The AV production table is the last thing on an event organizer’s mind. Thanks to its compact footprint, the V-8HD fits effortlessly into any live production environment, even when you have to deal with minimal setup space. And it only weighs around 4 lb./2 kg, making it easy to carry in a backpack or luggage. With its smart feature set, eight HDMI inputs, built-in 18-channel audio mixer, and support for external battery power, the streamlined V-8HD is the most versatile and efficient HDMI switcher available.

Seamless Memory Recall
With the V-8HD, storing and recalling unique looks requires only a few button presses. The eight preset memories and powerful composition effects engine work together to provide a completely seamless load between the different looks.

Separate Feeds for Separate Needs
Presenter confidence monitors, live streams, and recording feeds often require different visual content from the main program output. The V-8HD has you covered, with assignment buttons for sending any of your connected input devices to a dedicated aux output without affecting the main feed. 

Built-In Multi-viewer Display
The V-8HD’s bright, 4.3-inch multi-viewer display means less gear to buy and haul to the gig. From a single screen, you can monitor all eight video inputs, PGM, and PVW plus menu overlay. Input windows show camcorder recording status and embedded audio levels. 

Audio and Effects
A crystal-clear sound mix is essential for professional presentations. That’s easy to achieve with the V-8HD, which allows pros and beginners alike to quickly create engaging mixes that sound great. The studio-grade, 18-channel audio mixer blends signals from the eight HDMI inputs and stereo RCA inputs.

Automated Video Switching
The V-8HD makes your job easier with three technology assisted automatic switching modes. Input Scan switches input sources randomly or in sequence, while Preset Memory Scan switches between preset memories. Beats Per Minute (BPM) Sync is also available, automatically switching Preview and Program at a specified tempo.

Record Triggering and Confirmation
Many technical elements contribute to a successful recording. But forgetting to hit the record button means the difference between getting paid for the job or not. Via HDMI, the V-8HD operator can trigger Atomos recorders to start and stop recording. And some camcorders even display a recording confirmation icon on the input channel of the V-8HD's multi-viewer screen.

V-8HD iPad Remote Control Utility
The dedicated V-8HD remote control app turns an iPad into an efficient touch interface for the V-8HD. Run essential switching functions, mix audio with virtual faders, change settings and effect parameters quickly, and create up to eight custom scenes for fast, efficient setup changes.

Hands-Free Switching and Control
Stomp on a BOSS single or double footswitch to execute over 100 different switcher commands. Cut to a still image, transition PIP on/off the screen, or drop in a keyed lower third title.

The Best 8 Channel Mixer on the Market

By: Jeremy Alysandratos on 24 December 2020

Initially starting with the V-1HD and quickly finding out that 4 inputs were not enough and all the competitors higher channel mixers were SDI but not ready to make the jump to SDI. I was amazed to hear the announcement of the V-8HD after finishing my 6 month rental of the V-1HD with Bavas Music City (Great Customer service btw) I Immediately started my rental with the V-8HD. Several months into using it for weddings, Church services, Music production, conferences etc it has excelled in all areas, the 3 outputs are a lifesaver, The aux output is amazing, being able to load still images is amazing, the DSK, the fact that t works with cat6 convertors it's pretty much a V-1HD on steroids. I showed a group of kids at my church it and within 10 minutes of using it, they had pretty much mastered it. The menu system is easy to navigate and any problems you may have Roland's excellent customer service is happy to help and haven't let me down. If I really really really had to nitpick/dream features would be like the V-1HD a desktop control software for the V-8HD instead of the only option of an iPad app that only works on newer iPads, and an Inbuilt clock to stay on top of production. TL;DR It is an amazing product that will transform your productions Roland really got this right and can rival even some Blackmagic switchers If you need an 8 input HDMI mixer get it!! Don't let the price scare you. it is worth every Dollar and more.

Roland hit the bullseye

By: Val Beccia on 6 September 2020

This is a fantastic value switcher. After researching for many months amongst constant Atem reviews I asked the pros and they all recommended Roland for their reliability first and foremost apart from other highly regarded aspects. The V8-HD allows 8 cams and having HDMI inputs more readily allows for me to keep my costs down and use my current Sony Alpha and RX series mirrorless cameras via hdmi (easily up to 10 MTRS) If I need to run longer lengths and distances then cost effective. converters easily take care of that when appropriate. The fact that I don’t need to rely on a laptop software interface to get the most out of this unit is great. If required the iPad app is very handy and much more useful as it is a touch interface as well And integrates nicely into the system workflow. Also the built in preview monitor is very handy and having 3 assignable outs is awesome. There are so many real world useful features in this unit that make it such a no brainer. I can’t say a enough great things about this unit and am so eager to exploit its full capacity as soon as possible. Well worth the extra pennies and I don’t feel any buyers remorse as I now have a complete powerhouse to help me create my projects and exceed my clients expectations well into the future. Buy once cry once, eventhough this is a true and absolute bargain nevertheless. Thanks Roland.
