It allows connection with live audiences in Full HD via comprehensive SDI and HDMI I/O, and simultaneous streaming to popular web platforms through USB-C. Key features include an eight-layer video effects engine, a 40-channel digital audio mixer, integrated PTZ camera control, and advanced cue management and live show automation. Its portable design with a broadcast-style interface is easily managed by a single operator. The V-160HD merges the robust hardware needed for live productions with the livestreaming capabilities of computer-based systems. It provides essential features for both in-person and streaming components of hybrid events, allowing tailored content for each audience. On-demand signal processing eliminates concerns about CPU overhead, latency, and output delay. Integrated connectivity standards like SDI, HDMI, XLR, and USB-C reduce the need for costly infrastructure and conversion processes. The intuitive interface offers hands-on controls for quick learning by a single operator. Presets, macros, and advanced sequencing features enable the setup and automation of complex switching tasks with a single touch. With support for both HDMI and SDI, the V-160HD seamlessly mixes eight HDMI and eight SDI sources in Full HD, even with mismatched frame rates and color spaces. Four HDMI inputs feature built-in scalers, facilitating easy integration with client-provided sources such as computers, tablets, smartphones, gaming consoles, and legacy 4:3 devices. Featuring seven freely assignable outputs (three SDI, three HDMI, and one USB-C streaming), the V-160HD acts as a high-end video matrix. It can simultaneously feed program displays, auxiliary monitors, multi-view producer displays, and the online audience, with a clean output available for recording. Custom looks can be stored and recalled instantly. The 30 preset memories and powerful effects engine facilitate seamless scene changes, synchronizing the transition of all composition layers at the program output. The 100 macros allow for building and executing complex action lists, including switching, DSK on/off, audio mixing adjustments, and PTZ camera movements. Free remote control software for macOS, Windows, and iPad enhances this workflow with a graphical interface for setup and previewing actions before going live. The V-160HD's sequencer empowers presets and macros, enabling a single operator to execute perfectly timed cues. Up to 1000 steps can be recorded, with each step incorporating presets and macros. Cues can be set up in advance and triggered sequentially using the Next button. The device's effects engine boasts eight composition layers for Program and Sub-Program outputs, keeping audiences engaged with visually appealing content. It supports up to four picture-in-picture windows, downstream key layers, and 16 still store slots with transparent PNG image support. The V-160HD streams live events at 30/60 FPS in Full HD using the same connection technology as webcams, reaching a worldwide audience. Connecting the USB-C output to a computer enables streaming via platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, YouTube, and Facebook Live, functioning as a plug-and-play webcam source without driver installation. With a 40-channel digital audio mixer, the V-160HD provides studio-grade sound, blending signals from all 16 video inputs, USB-C, microphones, and line-level devices via two balanced XLR combo and stereo RCA inputs. Onboard Bluetooth allows wireless streaming of music and sound sources from phones or tablets. An extensive effects library is included for sound polishing and issue resolution, such as audio synchronization and background noise removal. The V-160HD offers extensive PTZ camera support, controlling select Canon, JVC, Panasonic, Sony, PTZOptics, and Avonic PTZ LAN cameras, as well as VISCA-compatible cameras. Users can mix and match brands and operate up to 16 PTZ cameras simultaneously. Complete control is facilitated through a LAN port, Bluetooth, USB, RS-232, and tally/GPIO support. A dedicated iPad remote control app provides an efficient touch interface, while free Remote Control Software (RCS) for macOS and Windows extends workflow capabilities. Footswitch compatibility allows execution of over 100 different switcher commands. The device can trigger start/stop on Atomos recorders over HDMI, integrate with tally lights via Roland's Smart Tally or rear-panel connectors, and seamlessly integrate into system installations with RS-232 and TALLY/GPIO DB-sub connectors.
