The Roland VC-100UHD is a next-generation A/V signal management solution for live events, fixed installations, and livestreaming. Built on a reliable hardware platform for mission-critical applications, this powerhouse processor combines multiple single-task technologies in a compact and flexible half-rack design. With Roland’s Ultra Scaler on board, the VC-100UHD supports simultaneous scaling and conversion to multiple destinations, including 4K LED walls, HD displays, USB livestreams, and more.

Using the VC-100UHD, it’s a simple task to send 4K and 1080p video to multiple destinations at one time, including pixel-hungry LED walls, tech operator displays and recorders, and USB webcam streams for online viewing. With an ultra-high-definition source signal connected to the 12G-SDI or HDMI 2.0 video inputs, the VC-100UHD will automatically process and convert it to different resolutions, ready for distribution at 12G-SDI, HDMI, and USB 3.0 rear-panel outputs.
