• Selecting transition effects
• Audio mixer operation
• Memory save/load operations
  V-1HD RCS and V-1HD Remote can be downloaded from the following Roland website.

About Remote Control Via MIDI

The V-1HD also supports remote control by equipment compatible with MIDI Visual Control.
For information on remote control via MIDI, download and refer to the “V-1HD Remote Control Guide” (PDF) from the Roland website mentioned above.

What’s MIDI Visual Control?
MIDI Visual Control is an internationally used recommended practice that was added to the MIDI specification so that visual expression could be linked with musical performance.

Troubleshooting

If you suspect a malfunction, please check the following points. If this does not resolve the problem, contact a nearby Roland Service Center.

Video-related problems

No picture is input.

| Are the [A-1] through [A-4] and [B-1] through [B-4] buttons flashing in white?| Video whose format differs from the [FORMAT] switch setting is input. Input video that is compatible with the specified format.|

p. 14

Is copyright-protected (HDCP) video being input?| When inputting copyright- protected (HDCP) video signals, go to the SETUP menu and set “HDCP” to “ON.”| p. 15
Video from the computer is not displayed.| Is the format of the video output from the computer compatible with the V-1HD’s input formats?| The supported input formats on the V-1HD are 1080p, 1080i, and 720p. VESA-standard resolutions are not supported.|

p. 14

No picture is output.

|

Has the [OUTPUT FADE] knob been turned clockwise or counterclockwise?

| With the factory settings, when the [OUTPUT FADE] knob is turned clockwise or counterclockwise, fade is applied to the main output video.

When outputting video, adjust the [OUTPUT FADE] knob to its center position.

|

p. 20

Is the display connected correctly?| When outputting copyright-protected (HDCP) video, connect an HDCP-compatible display.| —
“Snowy”-noise video is output.| It is possible that the HDMI signal is not being sent and received correctly.|

Reconnect the HDMI cable.

|

—

Colors are incorrect.

|

Does the color space setting on the output-destination equipment

(external display, projector, or other such device) match the color space setting on the V-1HD?

| Go to the SETUP menu and make the setting for “OUTPUT COLOR SPACE” (OUTPUT connector) or “PREVIEW COLOR SPACE” (PREVIEW connector).|

—

Depending on the device, the color space might be interlinked with the selection of DVI or HDMI or the selected format. In such cases, changing the

color space on the output device might bring about improvement for the problem.

|

—

The edges of video shown on the display are cut off.| Are the display settings compatible?| Depending on the device, the display might automatically overscan. Change the display’s settings.| —
Switching video is not possible.| Is a menu (SETUP, MEMORY, or AUDIO) displayed?| Video-switching operations cannot be performed while a menu is displayed. Exit the menu screen.| —

Compositing a logo or text is not possible.

|

Has the effect been selected correctly?

| 5 Select “WHT-L.KEY” (white) or “BLK-L.KEY” (black) luminance key to match the background color of the logo or text.

5 Use the [EFFECTS A] and [EFFECTS B] knobs to adjust the position to just the right degree of extraction for the logo or text.

|

p. 22

Audio-related Problems

No audio is output. Audio volume is low.

| Is the volume turned down on the connected amplifications or speakers?|

Adjust to an appropriate volume level.

|

—

Is the volume turned down on the V-1HD?| Adjust each input-audio stream to an appropriate volume level. Also, adjust the overall volume level.| p. 25
Are you using connection cables that contain resistors?| If this happens, use connector cables that do not contain resistors.| —

No reverb is applied.

| Is the amount of audio sent to Reverb set at an appropriate level?| If the send level for audio to Reverb is too low, the amount of reverb effect might be difficult to discern. Adjust the send level of the audio to Reverb.|

MIX

overlaid and progressively grows more visible.

FAM

| Video transitions are made with the luminance levels of the two video streams maintained unchanged.

• This is an abbreviation of “full additive mix.”

NAM

| The two video streams are compared, and transitions are made with display during transition starting with levels of high luminance.

• This is an abbreviation of “non-additive mix.”

MOSAIC| Transitions are made with mosaic pixelation.
