Roland has unveiled its new V-1-4K Video Switcher and Graphics Presenter Version 3.0 with 4K Support. The V-1-4K is a compact 4K 60p video switcher that builds on the company’s V-1 series. The V-1-4K offers 4K 60p and HDR processing in a compact footprint.
Key features
- 5 x HDMI Inputs, 5 x HDMI Outputs
- Scalers on All Inputs
- USB-C Streaming Output, USB-A Host Port
- Supports up to UHD 4K60 HDR Processing
- Cropping, Downscaling to 1080p
The all-in-one hardware design includes:
- Five HDMI 2.0 inputs and six total outputs, including HDMI, USB, and multi-view.
- High-quality scalers on every input for seamless operation with mixed 4K and HD video sources.
- USB-C 4K streaming output for direct use with popular conferencing, streaming, and capture platforms.
- Multi-channel audio mixing with effects and processing.
- Built-in control for a wide range of PTZ cameras.
- Remote operation supported through dedicated Roland control apps for macOS, Windows, and iPadOS.
The V-1-4K system could be used for in-person events, hybrid livestreams, multi-camera studio productions, corporate meetings, worship services, and classroom applications.
The V-1-4K also includes a Region of Interest (ROI) mode that allows users to crop up to four unique virtual shots from a single 4K camera source. This enables versatile single-camera production setups for panel discussions, classrooms, training spaces, and fixed installations where adding more hardware may be impractical or cost-prohibitive.
Graphics Presenter Version 3.0: Support for 4K Workflows
Roland’s companion Graphics Presenter software has been updated to Version 3.0 with full 4K rendering and output. When paired with the V-1-4K, operators can create polished, broadcast-style visuals without requiring a dedicated graphics workstation.
VenuSet Version 1.2: Simplified, Customizable Control for Select Roland Video Products
VenuSet Version 1.2 (iPadOS, macOS, and Windows) works with the V-1-4K and other supported Roland video products, allowing users and system integrators to create customizable control interfaces tailored to specific events or operator skill levels. This is valuable for corporate, education, and worship environments where non-technical staff may be asked to manage A/V systems. By enabling operators to build minimal, purpose-driven layouts, VenuSet reduces barriers to high-quality video switching and ensures consistent, reliable operation.

The Roland V-1-4K Video Switcher will be available from June for $1,899.99 USD.
