Compact 4K Switching Built on a Proven Platform
Roland’s V-1 series has helped define approachable, professional-grade video switching for over two decades, and the V-1-4K Video Switcher carries that legacy forward with a modern 4K/60p HDR workflow in a compact, easy-to-manage format. Designed for livestreaming, house of worship setups, conference rooms, and live event rigs, this all-in-one switcher balances power and accessibility in a way that feels immediately intuitive. You get flexible HDMI-based connectivity, integrated audio mixing, built-in USB-C streaming, and support for PTZ camera control, all working together to simplify your setup while expanding what you can accomplish. Whether you’re managing multiple cameras, integrating graphics, or streaming directly to your platform of choice, the V-1-4K Video Switcher keeps the focus on your production, not the complexity behind it.

Flexible connectivity and streamlined routing
At the heart of the V-1-4K is a flexible I/O structure designed to handle a wide range of modern video workflows without the need for extra hardware. Each HDMI input includes a built-in scaler, allowing you to mix HD and 4K sources seamlessly without worrying about resolution mismatches. Likewise, a collection of HDMI buses and a USB-C Stream port give you the freedom to send program, preview, and multi-view feeds exactly where they need to go, whether that’s a main display, confidence monitor, or livestream. Assignable outputs and built-in downscaling make it easy to adapt signals for different destinations, reducing the need for external converters and keeping your setup clean and efficient.
Hands-on control with integrated audio and camera management
The V-1-4K keeps everything within reach, combining video switching, audio mixing, and camera control into a single interface. Its intuitive panel layout includes a familiar T-bar and customizable pads that give you quick access to switching functions, audio muting, and system controls. Behind the scenes, a 14-channel audio mixer with EQ, compression, and delay ensures your sound matches the quality of your visuals, with flexible routing for main, monitor, and auxiliary outputs. Built-in PTZ camera control adds another layer of functionality, letting you adjust framing and movement directly from the video switcher when working with compatible cameras, making multicamera productions more efficient without needing additional control hardware.
Remote operation and flexible workflow integration
For setups that demand greater flexibility, the V-1-4K extends well beyond its physical interface, offering a full suite of remote control options. Dedicated apps for iPad, macOS, and Windows allow you to manage switching, audio levels, and system settings on a larger screen or a portable touch interface. The VenuSet app adds another layer of customization, letting you build simplified control layouts tailored to specific environments or operators. Whether you’re running a fixed installation or a mobile production rig, LAN connectivity and wireless control make it easy to integrate the V-1-4K into a broader system while maintaining a streamlined workflow.
Built-in tools for polished, professional productions
Keeping your audience engaged often comes down to how well you present your content, and the V-1-4K includes a range of composition tools to aid your presentation. With multiple composition layers, you can combine video sources with picture-in-picture elements, titles, logos, and other graphics to create a more dynamic presentation. The ROI processor takes things further by letting you generate multiple shots from a single 4K camera, reducing the need for additional gear while still delivering a multi-angle experience. Paired with Roland’s Graphics Presenter software for easily creating titles and motion graphics, these tools give you the control to shape your production in real time. Sweetwater creators and production teams appreciate how these built-in capabilities reduce reliance on external systems while delivering a polished, professional result.
