HD Switcher is the perfect size for installation into small spaces and portable enough to be used in multiple areas of a corporate office or another facility.

Performance Venue / Church
Roland XS-62S is the ideal solution for hotel meeting rooms and banquet halls, houses of worship, and live performance venues. The Matrix Mode makes it easy to send different content to 2 to 3 screen destinations, from a single switcher all while mixing program audio and controlling PTZ remote cameras.

PGM / PST Mode works as a traditional switcher complete with cross-dissolve switching and Aux bus delegation for sending different videos to a secondary destination such as a presenter’s confidence monitor or additional presentation screens.

Performance venues will benefit greatly from the built-in auto-mixing function. The auto-mixing function automatically balances incoming audio sources such as microphones from a discussion panel, making it easy for the operator. The audio processing also includes advanced effects such as EQ, dynamics, and delay for mixing of vocal speech along with music and other audio embedded in video sources. These effects will provide improved sound quality for streaming applications, recording, and sound reinforcement.

Live Streaming and Video Conference
Suitable for live streaming and web conferencing systems. In this type of application, you could be using multiple PTZ cameras and PCs. With the XS62S this can easily be operated by a small team or even a single person. PTZ camera control eliminates the need for individual camera operators, since everything can be controlled from the XS-62S while the video is being switched by the same operator. The audio capabilities make it easy to connect 4 microphones, mixing audio from computers and other video sources.

*In order to do Live streaming, the customer will need to add an encoder device with an SDI or HDMI input, from a 3rd. party supplier.

Professional user interface
The professional broadcast-quality crosspoint buttons are backlit with brightness control for use in bright daylight or dark performance spaces. A dedicated menu screen and volume knobs for adjusting audio are both easy to access from the front panel. Designed for direct control and intuitive operation for any events.

Switching mode
Roland XS-62S Multiple switching modes to best suit the app

PGM / PST mode
PGM/PST Mode operates as a traditional video switcher complete with video compositions that enable grouping multiple images on one screen.
You can create compositions by combining DSK for layering titles and graphics as well as PinP inset of video. Compositions can be previewed before sending to Program on the Preview output and can be sent to Program by pressing the TAKE button.

PGM / PST Mode also has an available AUX bus making it possible to output different videos from the PGM bus and PST bus to an additional destination screen.

DISSOLVE mode
Video switching and composition with cross-dissolve to the PGM bus are possible in Dissolve Mode. Dissolve Mode is easily operated from the front panel and is suitable for a system where the user directly operates the main unit in a meeting space or event.

The AUX bus is also available in Dissolve Mode, making it possible to output different video from the PGM bus and PST bus.

MATRIX mode
Individual video input signals can be output to three different destinations on three buses. This mode is effective for routing signals and is ideal for events and using multiple screens. Switching the video is with black flame.

Video composition
In addition to traditional Square or Rectangle shapes, the PinP function can select Circle, Heart or Diamond shapes. With the DSK function, you can overlay titles, lyrics, logos, etc on top of the composited video.

Auto mixing
The included Auto-Mixing function ensures the correct mix for multiple panel participants at conferences by automatically adjusting levels across all audio sources. A priority weighting assignment that is channel specific can be set giving the moderator or priority audio channel a higher volume level while using the Auto-Mixing function allowing the operator to focus on video switching and production.

Discrete Multi-channel Audio Embedding
Assign up to eight analog audio inputs a separate audio embed a channel on SDI 1 and 2 outputs to ensure a separate mix pre-effect (dry) or post effect (wet) for correcting audio problems post live event. This feature is additionally useful for multi-language events to record the voice-over or language translation on its own audio channel its own audio channel to a separate master.
