Roland has just announced a Version 2.0 update for its V-600UHD 4K Multi-format Video Switcher, which automatically blends Roland’s ROI “Region Of Interest” tool with facial recognition technology and also adds LAN-based PTZ camera control. It also marked the beginning of the technical collaboration between Roland and Canon, which lends technology-assisted workflow enhancements to several of Canon’s digital cameras and camcorders including the Canon XF405 / XF400 Professional Camcorders. The V-600’s Region Of Interest windows automatically finds and follows two people within the scene aiding in single-operator productions. Roland’s Version 2.0 update allows the V-600UHD’s Automatic ROI to work with the camcorder face-tracking autofocus of these Canon camcorders when using specific firmware, settings and HDMI and CAT LAN cable.

The Roland V-600UHD adds value to many different production scenarios by letting users transition to 4K workflows as demand and budgets allow, one input at a time. Scaling is also provided on every input with Roland’s Ultra Scaler technology, making it possible to use Full HD and 4K sources simultaneously while outputting at multiple resolutions. The high pixel density of 4K camera sources can be leveraged in HD workflows.

The Roland V-600UHD 4K Multi-format Video Switcher is currently available for $10,995.
