The EDIROL V-8 offers
an expanded visual experience and is the natural evolution of the legendary V-4
Four Channel Video Mixer.
The V-8 Eight Channel Video
Mixer has all the features of the V-4 but with more channels, two selectable RGB
inputs, monitor outputs and additional powerful special effects. It continues
the legacy of the V-4's other great features such as ease of use, high-quality
digital processing of video, numerous video effects and BPM sync with music.
This next generation video mixer expands your visual presentation and
performance potential to new applications and dimensions. The V-8 is a part of
the EDIROL SD video mixer line. See the SD
Mixer Comparison.
DV quality video
outputs with full digital processing
The internal processing of the V-8 is 4:2:2 full-frame digital. More than 500
lines of video resolution ensure very high image quality after digital
processing and mixing.
Direct input of
computer signal
The V-8 has a built-in scan converter, providing direct input of RGB signals
(VGA - UXGA) from two D-Sub terminals on the rear panel. With the selector
switch located on the top panel, you can select between two computer sources.
Using the luminance key or chroma key, enables logos or text from your computer
to be keyed over background video enabling the display of lyrics, bottom thirds,
and announcements. Integrating computer graphics and visual applications with
video sources has never been easier.
New video filters and
numerous transitions
All your favorite effects like colorize and negative are included,
along with newly added effects like feedback, afterimage, emboss, find edge and
more. Composite two images with Picture-in-Picture and Luminance or Chroma
keying. Customize your transitions between the A and B bus with multiple flavors
of simple mix, hard or soft wipes, and the all-new stretch and slide
transitions.
Independent faders on
each bus as well as master output
Faders are independently equipped for both A/B buses allowing you to create a
video fade on just one bus or adjust the various video effects parameters. The
master fader control is a slider bar enabling quick and intuitive operation
while working on the fly.
Next generation
V-LINK control enables audio-follow
The V-8 can be remote controlled from the EDIROL
PR series video presenters
as well as the V-4. The V-8 can also send remote control signals to the new
generation of Roland's digital audio mixer, the RSS
M-400 (V-Mixer) . The
motorized faders of the M-400 automatically follow the video switching of the
V-8. Now you can have your audio sources follow your video sources without the
need to manually control two mixers at once.
