Now celebrating its 13th anniversary, the STAR Awards (for Superior Technology Award Recipient) are designed to celebrate and showcase the preeminent technological innovations available to the media industry. The Roland VC-1 Series Video Converters were the recipients of TV Technology’s coveted STAR Award presented at the 2013 NAB Show. Roland VC-1 Series Selected for STAR Award at NAB 2013. In this way it is an indispensable tool live production, broadcast and recording applications. This is helpful when keeping various types of cameras in sync as well as ensuring a projector stays in sync with an LED wall. The VC-1-DL converter not only allows bidirectional conversion of SDI/HDMI but it also provides frame sync and delay adjustment of up to 9 fields (4.5 frames) for audio and video independently. In live production as you add more video components to a signal flow, latency is introduced. Digital AES/EBU input and output signals are supporting ensuring high-quality audio signals can be maintained through the signal flow. Selectable audio embedding and de-embedding lets you route different audio sources to or from video devices. The VC-1-DL additionally enables the HDCP signal to be delayed.


The VC-1 series is HDCP compliant allowing you to convert or pass-through HDCP signals with the exception of any SDI output. The VC-1 series also supports both level A and B 3G-SDI, letting you connect a variety of higher quality SDI sources. The VC-1 series also features an on-board re-clocker to compensate for attenuation of SDI signals carried over long distances.

There are no interlacing artifacts or other conversion or signal errors sometimes found with other video converters. The VC-1 Video Converter series provides uncompromising picture quality by maintaining the video characteristics of the original signal with rich-blacks and super-whites.
