Frequently Asked Questions - V-1 ROLAND

How do I switch between video sources on the V-1?

Use the Input Select buttons (A 1-4 and B 1-4) or move the Video Fader. The Mix or Wipe button must be active for transitions.

How can I use Picture-in-Picture (PinP)?

Press the WIPE/PinP button, then use the Transition Pattern knob to select a PinP position (upper right, lower right, etc.). Move the video fader to layer the foreground image.

What is Superimpose and how do I use it?

Superimpose cuts out the dark portion of an image (e.g., white text on black) and places it over a background. Use only input channel 4 for the text image. Press Superimpose and adjust with the Superimpose Level knob.

Why is there no video output from the V-1?

Check that the Output button is lit (not blinking). Also ensure all cables are connected properly, the video source is playing, and the correct input is selected. If using different video standards, switch between NTSC/PAL.

Can I control the V-1 with MIDI?

Yes, connect a MIDI device via the MIDI In/Out ports. You can control inputs, fader, effects, and more. The V-1 also supports V-LINK for seamless integration with Roland/Edirol instruments.

How do I reset the V-1 to factory settings?

While holding down the channel 4 button of the Input Select B and the Mix button simultaneously, turn on the power.

What is Lock Mode and when should I use it?

Lock Mode prevents image distortion by restricting input switching unless the video fader is at the extreme A or B position. Enable it by holding Superimpose while powering on.

How do I switch between NTSC and PAL video formats?

While holding the Output and Mix buttons, turn on the power. The display will show the selected format. Repeat to toggle.

What cables are needed to connect the V-1?

The V-1 is a video mixer that lets you switch among four channels of video at will.

Four channels of video input

The V-1 provides four channels of video input jacks, with both video (composite) and S-video inputs provided for each channel. Both video (composite) and S-video connectors are also provided for the output as well.

Two independent frame synchronizers

Even if the video signals you input are unstable, the built-in frame synchronizers will correct the synchronization signal of the video. You can work without having to worry about noise caused by synchronization problems.

Simple operation

Since illuminated buttons provide confirmation of the current operating status, switching and mixing images is easy.

Picture-In-Picture

The Picture-In-Picture effect lets you show a miniaturized image inside a different image.

Superimpose

The Superimpose effect lets you remove a specified portion of an image and combine it with a different image. This provides an easy way to superimpose text from the video output of your computer.

V-LINK capability

The V-1's MIDI connectors let you control the V-1 from a MIDI-equipped electronic musical instrument or other external MIDI device. When connected to a Roland or Edirol product that supports V-LINK, the V-1 can be remotely controlled as a V-LINK device.

In a concert

The V-1 is a great addition to a concert performance.

You can switch between images taken from video cameras at various angles, or use the video fader to smoothly move between them. The names or profiles of performers can be combined with live video using the Superimpose feature.

• See p. 16 for more about transitions.
• See p. 20 for more about Superimpose.

In a presentation

You can use the V-1 to add video to enhance your business presentations.

While displaying information created on your computer, you can use the Picture-In-Picture feature to add photographed images of products or people.

• See p. 19 for more about Picture-In-Picture.

1

Use the appropriate type of video cable to connect the video (composite) or S-video output jack of your video device to the V-1's input jack.

2

Use the appropriate type of video cable to connect the V-1's video (composite) or S-video output jack to the input jack of your video output device (e.g., television or video projector).

* The V-1 supports only signals that comply with NTSC/PAL formats. Operation may not be stable if non-compliant signals are input.
* If a signal is input to both the video (composite) and S-video input jacks, the S-video signal will take priority.
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
* The video cables needed for making connections are not included with the V-1. You will need to obtain commercially available video cables.
* If the cable length is not too long, you will obtain a better image by using an S-video cable to make connections. However, if you cannot avoid using an extremely long video cable, use a video (composite) cable rather than an S-video cable.

HINT

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

MEMO

The V-1 does not contain an audio mixer. Connect the audio output of your video device directly to your audio system. If you want to mix the audio from two or more sources, you will need to use a commercially available audio mixer.

Turning the power on

Once the connections have been completed (p. 12), turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to TV monitor and other devices.

1

Check the power cable

Make sure that the power cable from the AC adaptor is firmly plugged into the V-1.

2

Press the POWER button located on the rear of the V-1.

* Due to its circuitry-protection feature, the V-1 requires about five seconds after power-up before it is ready for normal operation.
* The startup screen will appear in video (composite) output 2. This screen lets you check the current system settings.

Turning the power off

1

Press the rear panel POWER button

Press the POWER button located on the rear panel. All buttons and indicators on the front panel will go dark.

About the grounding connector

Depending on the conditions in which you use it, the V-1's panel may feel slightly "gritty" to the touch. This is due to an extremely low level of static electricity that poses absolutely no danger to you. However, if you find this annoying, you may connect the grounding connector to an external ground. Under some conditions, connecting an external ground may cause the video image to be disrupted. If you are not sure how to connect the ground, consult a EDIROL/Roland service center.

Do not connect this to the following:

• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
- Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

Checking the inputs and outputs

Checking the final output

Here's how to check that connections are correct.

* Before you proceed, check that your video equipment is connected as described in Connections (p. 12).

1

Set the video fader to "A."

2

Output an image from your video device.

Power up the connected video device, and get it to output a video signal. If you're using a video deck or DVD player, press its Play button.

The image from the connected video device is input to an input channel of the V-1.

3

Select the channel to which the video signal is being input.

Press the Input Select "A" button for the channel that's receiving the video signal.

4

Check the output.

Power up the TV or projector that's connected to the V-1's video output connector, and verify that you see the image being output by the V-1.

If everything is working properly, the image(s) from the device(s) connected to the V-1 will be output.

* If no video signal is being input, a blue screen will be output.

5

Switch the input channel.

If more than one video source is connected to the V-1, press the Input Select A buttons to verify that each source is output.

If you don't see anything

- Make sure that the output jack of your video device is correctly connected to the V-1's input jack. (p. 12)

- Check that the video device connected to the V-1 is actually outputting an image.

- Make sure that the V-1's output jack is correctly connected to the input jack of your TV or projector.

- Make sure that you've selected the correct input on your TV or projector.

- Make sure that the video cables you're using are not broken.

Transitioning between video input sources

Here's how to transition (move) between video input sources.

Using the video fader to switch video sources

If you're using a transition effect (Mix or Wipe), you can move between images A and B by moving the video fader up or down. If you're using a compositing effect (Superimpose or P in P), the video fader adjusts the transparency of the composited images.

Video fader indicators

These indicate the position of the video fader. The indicators will light in one of two ways depending on the function you're using.

- When using a transition effect (Mix or Wipe)

If the video fader is all the way up (A) or down (B), a single green video fader indicator will be lit. If the video fader is between A and B, a single red video fader indicator at the left of the video fader will be lit.

- When using a compositing effect (P in P or Superimpose)

The green video fader indicator beside the "background image" will light. If the video fader is in the center, red video fader indicators up to that position will light.

Wipe

Soft wipe

This is a wipe effect in which the transition boundary is blurred. The images in the vicinity of the border will be mixed.

Using compositing effects

These effects combine images "A" and "B" into a single screen.

Using P in P (Picture In Picture) to composite two screens

This effect layers a small image (the "foreground image") on top of an image displayed in the full screen (the "background image").

As an example, here's how to layer "foreground image B" on top of "background image A."

1

Set the video fader to "A."

2

Use output selector "A" to select the background image.

3

Use output selector "B" to select the foreground image.

4

Press the WIPE/P in P button.

The Input Select "B" button for the foreground image will blink rapidly.

Choose one of the settings in the right half of the knob range.

Move the video fader to the "B" position.

* The setting of the Transition Time knob is ignored at this time.

The background image and foreground image are determined as follows: the background image will be the image (A or B) to which the video fader is closest when the following two conditions are satisfied, and the other image will be the foreground image.

• The WIPE / P in P button is pressed and lit

* If you want to layer image "A" on top of image "B," simply exchange "A" and "B" in the procedure described above.

Output

The input selector buttons blink in one of two ways depending on the function you're using.

Blinking slowly

When using a transition time knob. The blinking ends after a fixed time.

Blinking rapidly

When using a compositing effect (P in P or Superimpose). The blinking continues.

Superimposing text on the screen

Superimpose is an effect that cuts out the dark portion of an image and places it on top of a background image. Use this effect when you want to add text you created with your computer or with the P-1 (sold separately).

As an example, here's how to superimpose text from image "B" into the background image "A."

* The superimpose effect is available only for channel 4.

1 Input a background image into a video input [1]–[3], and input the text image into [4].

2 Set the video fader to "A." Also use Input Select "A" [1]–[3] to select the background image.

3 Press the Superimpose button.

The Superimpose button will blink.

4 Use Input Select "B" to select the (text) image that you want to add.

Input controller "B" channel 4 will blink rapidly. At the same time, the Superimpose button will light.

5 Move the video fader to "B."

The superimposed image will appear.

6 Use the superimpose level knob to adjust the range that is cut out.

As desired, you can adjust the range of color that will be cut out.

* If you want to superimpose image “A” on top of image “B,” simply exchange “A” and “B” in the procedure described above.

Superimpose

MEMO

If the Superimpose button is lit, using the input selector to select a channel other than 4 for the superimposed image (A or B) will automatically "suspend" the superimpose effect; the Superimpose button will blink.

The input selector buttons blink in one of two ways depending on the function you're using.

Blinking slowly

When using a transition time knob. The blinking ends after a fixed time.

Blinking rapidly

When using a compositing effect (P in P or Superimpose). The blinking continues.

Easily extracted images

As the image to be superimposed, try to use an image that has a clear demarcation between dark and light areas. This will provide the cleanest extraction.

If you're using text, choosing white text on a black background will provide the cleanest extraction.

Blacking out the output image

Here's how you can temporarily black out the output image.

1

Press the Output button.

The Output button will blink; a black screen will be output, and the image will disappear.

* If you press the Output button once again, the Output button will revert to steadily lit and the output image will reappear.

Changing the System settings

Using Lock mode

Lock mode lets you obtain a more stable image, which will prevent the image from distorting. This mode restricts operations that might cause the image to distort (such as input switching).

While holding down the Superimpose button, turn on the power.

The words "LOCK MODE" will appear in the output image of video output 2 (composite).

Lock mode restricts the following operations.

• You can't use the Input Select, Mix, Or Wipe/P in P buttons unless the video fader is all the way to "A" or "B"
• If the Superimpose button is blinking, pressing input 4 will not switch the image

* To return to original mode

Once again turn on the power while holding down the Superimpose button.

You can operate the transition pattern knob even in Lock mode. However, the image may distort if you operate this knob while using P in P or Wipe. To avoid distortion, move the video fader so that a green video fader indicator is lit, and then operate the transition pattern knob.

Switching between NTSC and PAL

The V-1 can be switched to support either NTSC or PAL format signals. If you are using the V-1 in areas that use other format video (such as foreign country), switch the setting as described below.

While holding down the Output button and the Mix button, turn on the power.

The characters "PAL" or "NTSC" that switched will appear in the output image of video output 2 (composite). The next time you power up the V-1, it will start up in the mode.

* To return to original mode

Once again turn on the power while holding down the Output button and Mix button.

MEMO

NTSC and PAL

NTSC is the color television broadcast standard used in areas such as North America and Japan.

PAL is the broadcast standard used in Europe and Southeast Asia.

Using MIDI to control the V-1 from an external device

You can use the MIDI connectors to connect the V-1 to an external MIDI device, and control the V-1 from your external MIDI device.

What is MIDI?

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a worldwide standard for transferring musical performance data and related information. MIDI-compatible devices can be easily connected via MIDI cables to transfer data or control operations and settings.

Using V-LINK to remotely control the V-1

If the V-1 is connected to a Roland or Edirol V-LINK compatible device, you can make basic settings for controlling the V-1 simply by pressing a single button on the device to be controlled.

What is V-LINK?

V-LINK () V-LINK on that makes it easy to "perform video" in conjunction with music. It's easy to use a V-LINK compatible device to remotely control the V-1. V-LINK lets you perform a wide variety of video effects that are linked with your musical performance.

Using V-LINK

Use a MIDI cable to connect your V-LINK device to the V-1. For details on how to switch V-LINK on/off, refer to the owner's manual of the V-LINK device connected to the V-1. The V-LINK indicator will light when V-LINK is on.

MEMO

For the best image quality, use an S-video cable to connect the P-1 and V-1.

Correspondence between controls and MIDI messages

After the power is turned on (if V-LINK is OFF), the following MIDI messages will be transmitted from MIDI OUT when you operate the V-1's buttons or knobs. If these messages are received at MIDI IN, the V-1 will behave in the same way as it would if you were to operate the corresponding button or knob.

MEMO

MIDI messages (shaded in the diagram) are given in hexadecimal notation.

Recording Control Data Output from MIDI OUT

Control data, which describes fader movements and other operations, can be transmitted in the form of MIDI messages from MIDI OUT. You can record these messages using a MIDI sequencer. To find out which messages can be sent in this manner, refer to the implementation chart.

Refer to your MIDI sequencer's manual for further information.

1. Note Mode setting

* The Note Mode setting lets you use MIDI note numbers to switch inputs.
* Use a system exclusive message to set the Note Mode.
* If the Note Mode is set to 49Keys Mode or Assign Mode, the velocity value of the note message will vary the transition time.
* The velocity value will control the transition time only when switching to the "A" channel if the video fader is at "A," or when switching to the "B" channel if the video fader is at "B."
* There are four Note Modes.

● 1-1. OFF

* Note Mode is not used.

Before you suspect a malfunction, please check the following points. If this does not resolve the problem, contact your dealer or a EDIROL/Roland service center.

Operating the video fader does not switch between images

If the same input is selected for "A" and "B," moving the video fader won't affect the output image.

Operating the input selector does not switch between images

In Lock mode, the input selector may be inoperable because of the position of the video fader. For details, refer to Lock mode.

The input selector doesn't switch images as expected

Could you be inputting a signal to both the video (composite) and the S-video inputs of the same channel? If so, the S-video will take priority.

The image is distorted when you operate the input selector

Is the green video fader indicator lit? The image may be distorted if you use the input selector while "A" and "B" are being composited. You can use Lock mode to prevent such operations so that this distortion will not occur.

Transition effect does not occur when you operate the input selector

If the Transition Time knob is near "0" the transition effect will not occur when you use the input selector to switch images.

The images don't switch as specified by the Transition Time knob setting

If two images are displayed under the conditions listed below, operating the input selector will not switch the images according to the specified transition time.

• If the video fader is stopped midway
• If you're using P in P
• If you're using Superimpose

Your video device is playing, but no image is output

Could the Output button be OFF (blinking)? If this is off, no image will be output. Press the blinking Output button to turn it ON (lit), and the image will be output.

The V-1 is operating, but no image is output to your TV

Perhaps your video device is designed for a different video format than the V-1 is using. If so, switch between NTSC mode and PAL mode (p. 22) to set the V-1 to the same video format as your video device.

* If you experience other problems, you should first try connecting the output of the device connected to the V-1's input directly to a display (TV) to see whether an image is output correctly.
* Recalling the factory settings Restoring the factory settings While holding down the channel 4 button of the Input Select "B" buttons together with the Mix button, turn on the power. This will restore the factory settings.
