This is due to progressive conversion, and is not a malfunction.

About frame rate

Set the frame rate for the VR-120HD from the [MENU] button → "System" → Frame Rate.

* Set the frame rate for USB Out from the [MENU] button → "System" → Frame Rate "USB Out".
* Set the frame rate for streaming and for video recording from the [MENU] button → "System" → Frame Rate "Stream/Record".

Setting the Input Format for the HDMI IN 1–6 Connectors

Using the factory settings, the EDID assignment for the HDMI IN 1–6 connectors is "Internal" (so that EDID values of all formats that can be input are sent).

To specify an input format of your choice, change the setting of the EDID information being sent so that it matches the incoming video signal.

What is EDID?

EDID is data that is transmitted from the VR-120HD to the source device when the VR-120HD is connected to a source device.

EDID contains data such as the formats that can be input to the VR-120HD

(resolution, color space, color depth) and audio information.

Switching the Video Automatically (Auto Switching)

The video of Input 1–8 or of scene memories (p. 71) can be switched automatically (the auto switching function).

You can make operation easier by letting the video switch automatically.

About the Operation Mode

Auto switching provides six operation modes that you can select as appropriate for your situation: "input scan", "scene memory scan", "beat sync", "video follows audio", "PinP&Key scan", and "DSK scan".

Switching at a specified interval (input scan)

This automatically switches the Input 1–8 video when a specified length of time elapses. You can change the duration that each video is shown, and also switch randomly between videos.

This is convenient when you want to switch between video signals of multiple cameras, for example when live-streaming a singer-instrumentalist.

* If there is no video input, this is skipped.

Switching scene memories (scene memory scan)

This automatically recalls between scene memories 1–32. The video and audio are switched according to the settings that are saved in each scene memory.

* Scene memories in which no settings have been saved are skipped.

Switching in sync with the beat of the music (beat sync)

This detects the beat of the song, and automatically switches the video at intervals of the beat.

This lets you create video transitions that are synchronized with the music, for example when live-streaming a DJ performance or a musical performance.

Switching according to the mic volume (video follows audio)

This detects the audio that is input from a mic, and automatically switches to the specified video according to the volume.

For example, if you're streaming a talk show or a conversation, you can use this to switch between a close-up of the individual who is speaking and a wide shot of both people when neither person is speaking.

Switching between picture-in-picture (PinP) content (PinP & Key scan)

The inset screen video automatically changes after a specified length of time. You can change how long each video is shown and switch randomly between videos.

Switching between downstream keyer (DSK) content (DSK scan)

The caption video automatically changes after a specified length of time. You can change how long each video is shown and switch randomly between videos.

Adjusting the Input Gain (Sensitivity)

Here's how to adjust the input gain so that the audio is at the appropriate level.

Here we explain using the channel 1 audio as an example.

NOTE

Turning the [GAIN] knobs may produce a popping noise or cause momentary audio drop-out, but this is not a malfunction.

  1. Position the channel 1 audio fader near the "0 dB".

0 dB

  1. Move the [MAIN] fader to a position near the "0 dB".

0 dB MAIN

  1. Turn the channel 1 [GAIN] knob fully counter-clockwise, minimizing (0 dB) the input gain.

ROLAND VR-120HD - NOTE - 3

MEMO

For the Audio In 1–6 (which have analog gain circuits), you can turn this knob to adjust the analog gain. For other jacks/ports/connectors, this adjusts the digital gain instead.

  1. While producing the sound that will actually be input, slowly turn the [GAIN] knob clockwise to adjust the input gain.

Raise the input gain as high as possible without allowing the SIG/PEAK indicator of channel 1 to light red when the loudest sound level occurs.

NOTE

If the Audio Fader/Knob Mode is set to "Catch", the fader operations are ignored until the fader's position "catches up" to the current level. (p. 148)

* The [SETUP] button for the respective channel blinks while the fader operations are being ignored.

MEMO

You can link two channels to operate them as a stereo channel. This can be set for channels 1–6. Press the [SETUP] button for the channel whose settings you want to edit, and turn "Stereo Link" ON.

* When stereo link is turned on, the settings of that channel are applied to the other channel in the stereo pair.
* When stereo link is on, the audio fader can't be used for the other channel in the stereo pair.
* When phantom power is on and you switch the stereo link setting on/off, phantom power automatically turns off.

Adjusting the mic position (pan)

The left/right positioning of the sound is called "pan". If you're using two mics to stream a performance, panning the two mics to left and right will give the sound a more spacious feel.

This can be set for channels 1–6. Press the [SETUP] button of the channel whose setting you want to change, and adjust the "Pan".

SIG/PEAK indicator

Indicator Status
RedVolume is excessive (0 dB or higher)
YellowVolume is appropriate (-20 --1 dB).
GreenVolume is insufficient (-50--21 dB).

Adjusting the digital gain

You can adjust the digital gain for all inputs. Analog gain adjusts the analog sound, and digital gain adjusts the digital sound.

When a high-level audio signal is input to the HDMI or SDI digital audio inputs, distortion may occur due to effect processing.

You can use digital gain to keep the input level down so that there is no impact on effect processing.

Adjusting the Volume Balance

Here's how to adjust the volume balance of each input and the overall volume.

1. Move the [MAIN] fader to a position near the "0 dB".

0 dB MAIN

2. While monitoring the audio via speakers or headphones, adjust the volume balance for the respective inputs.

Raise the volume level of audio you want to make more prominent, for example, an emcee microphone, and lower the volume level for other audio. When no audio is input, and for audio that is unused, lower the volume level to minimum (-INF dB).

Suppressing Echo in a Web Conference System (Echo Canceller)

In a conversation using the speaker and mic of a web conference system, an echo can occur when the other person's voice heard through the speaker is picked up by the mic and sent back to the other person.

When you use the echo canceller, the echo component is removed from the voice that is picked up by a mic connected to the VR-120HD, so that only your own voice is sent to the other party.

* This only works on the input audio from the AUDIO IN 1, 2 jacks.

Compressor/Limiter

Compresses audio levels that exceed the threshold you set, or limits the output level so that it does not exceed the threshold.

Graphic Equalizer

It lets you shape the character of the sound by boosting or cutting each of the 15 frequency regions into which the sound is divided.

●Adaptive Noise Reduction (p. 53)

By continuously monitoring the input audio to detect noise during periods of silence, this removes only the noise component.

● Loudness Auto Gain Control (p. 54)

The long-term average loudness is measured, and the volume is adjusted so that it is appropriate overall.

  1. Press the [MENU] button to close the menu.

MEMO

You can synchronize the audio with the on/off state of the PinP&Key or DSK (p. 136).

Removing Noise from the Audio (Adaptive Noise Reduction / Low Frequency Cut)

You can remove noise from the input audio. Two effects are provided: "adaptive noise reduction" and "low frequency cut."

● Adaptive Noise Reduction

By continuously monitoring the input audio to detect noise during periods of silence, this removes only the noise component. Unlike conventional noise reduction that removes sound of a specified frequency, this analyzes the frequency of the noise and removes it as appropriate for the environment, resulting in a more natural sound.

* The presence or absence of voice in the input signal is determined according to the "Talking Detector" settings.

Low Frequency Cut

This divides the region below 200 Hz into four bands, and cuts unneeded low-frequency regions while continuously analyzing each band. Unlike conventional low cut, this does not weaken the sound of the low-frequency region.

Adaptive Noise Reduction

  1. Press the AUDIO EFFECT [SETUP] button to turn on (lit).

Automatically Setting a Comfortable Volume (Auto Mastering Effect)

Based on "loudness" (an index of perceptual volume), this automatically adjusts the volume appropriately for broadcast. Loudness measurement can be either long-term or short-term; these differ in the interval of time to which volume adjustment applies.

● Loudness Auto Gain Control (Loudness AGC)

The long-term average loudness is measured, and the volume is adjusted so that it is appropriate overall. Use this for audio whose dynamics you want to preserve, such as music.

Internet connection, including DNS server settings

  • To access the Internet, the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway must be configured.
  • To access the server hosting the streaming service, you must connect to the DNS (Domain Name System) server, which converts the server's domain name and IP address.
    * The above settings are usually retrieved from the DHCP server and assigned.

Continuous TCP communications

To broadcast the livestream via the RTMP or RTMPS protocol over TCP, continuous communication without interruptions or restrictions between devices is required.

HTTPS connection to an Internet server

To configure the livestream for a Web app, you must have an HTTPS connection to an Internet server.

Points to Be Aware of When Livestreaming

Set the appropriate Video Bitrate (p. 137) to match the speed of your Internet connection.

Press the [MENU] button → "Stream/Record" → "Target Bitrate" → select "Video".

The video bit rate is a target bit rate that's used when compressing (encoding) video.

For complex video sequences and the like, the video may be livestreamed at a bit rate of up to around 1.5 times the value that's set.

We recommend that you test the speed of your Internet connection to ensure that a bandwidth of around twice the Video Bitrate value is available before beginning the livestream.

Starting/Stopping the Livestream, Audio or Video Recording

The livestream, audio recording and video recording on the VR-120HD start and stop all at the same time, and cannot be started or stopped separately.

* You can separately set whether to livestream, record audio or video.

Avoiding Sporadic Issues When Livestreaming (Safety Delay)

The VR-120HD comes with a built-in "safety delay" function that helps you to avoid unexpected troubles during livestreaming.

You can set the video and audio buffer (streaming delay time: "Stream Delay") for the safety delay function.

If an accidental issue occurs within the streaming delay time, you can control the "switch to still image" and "mute audio" functions with the press of a button, which prevents undesirable content from being streamed.

The safety delay function thus helps you to feel more at ease when livestreaming content, especially in situations like live events where there is no script or guide.

This feature is useful for smoothly carrying out operations at the place where you're working.

Recording to the Sequencer

Three types of functions can be recorded in the sequencer, including recalling a scene memory, executing a macro and switching between final output videos. Create a list of the functions you want to execute in order.

A list can contain up to 1,000 functions.

MEMO

  • The demo data in this unit that's available by factory default includes a list of recorded functions. You can completely erase the contents of this list by initializing it (p. 87).
  • When the sequencer function is assigned to a USER button, you can set this from the setup screen.

About Rack Mounting

Attaching the included rack-mount angles lets you install the VR-120HD in a 19-inch rack.

Attaching the Rack-Mount Angles

  1. Turn off the power to the VR-120HD and disconnect the power cord and all connection cables.
  2. Use the included mounting screws (three per side) to attach the rack-mount angles.

ROLAND VR-120HD - Attaching the Rack-Mount Angles - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a computer audio workstation with control panel and drive unit (no text or labels)

* Both of the rack-mount angles have the same shape; there is no difference between left and right.

NOTE

When uninstalling the rack-mount angles

Before uninstalling the rack-mount angles, turn off the power to the VR-120HD and disconnect the power cord and all connector cables.

Important Notes on Rack Mounting

  • Before mounting, turn off the power to the VR-120HD and detach the power cord and all connection cables.
  • When mounting the unit, take care not to pinch your fingers etc.
    • To prevent incorrect operation or malfunction, take care not to subject areas protruding beyond the rack to accidental impact.
  • To ensure room for connectors and cables, leave 2U of clearance above the unit.

- Use all threaded holes (at 2 locations on each side, for a total of 4) to secure the unit to the rack using screws. Screws for rack mounting are not included.

- Never transport the rack with the unit installed in it. The impact of shaking or vibration might deform the rack-mount angles.

- When mounting the VR-120HD in a rack, pay attention to the following points to ensure efficient cooling.

  • Install in a well-ventilated location.
  • Avoid blocking the cooling-fan intake and exhaust ports on the side panels of the VR-120HD.
  • Avoid mounting the unit in a sealed-type rack. Warm air within the rack cannot escape, making efficient cooling impossible.
  • If the back of the rack cannot be opened, install an exhaust port or ventilation fan at the top back surface of the rack where warm air collects.

- Also read the "Placement" (the leaflet "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" and the "Startup Guide") under "IMPORTANT NOTES".
