The resulting mixes are sent to the HD/   RGB section and mixed with the HD and RGB video. The combined video is then output as the final output in either   HD or RGB format.   SD IN 1   SD IN 2   SD section   SD IN 3   SD IN 4   HD/RGB SD   HD/RGB OUT PGM 1   HD/RGB IN 1   HD/RGB section   HD/RGB OUT PGM 2   HD/RGB IN 2   HD/RGB IN 3   HD/RGB IN 4   HD/RGB OUT PREVIEW   ☞ For more details about how the mixer is arranged, refer to the “Block Diagram” (p. 67).   About “Channels”   Each of the V-44SW’ video inputs is called a “channel.” The SD and HD/RGB sections each feature Channels 1–4,   with each channel being independently controlled. Each “channel” is the equivalent of a “path” for the video signals.   About the Operating Modes   In addition to the V-44SW’s normal mode of operation, there is another mode referred to as “V-440HD Slave mode.”   V-440HD Slave mode is used only when operation of the V-44SW is linked to an Edirol V-440HD. When switched to   V-440HD Slave mode, the V-44SW then functions as slave device to the V-440HD. You cannot use the V-44SW’s   panel controls to switch video while the unit is in V-440HD Slave mode.   ☞ For instructions on switching operational modes, refer to “Switching the V-44SW’s Operating Modes” (p. 44).   9 Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Please take a moment to confirm that all of these items have been included with   the V-44SW. If you find that any item is missing, contact the nearest authorized EDIROL/Roland distributor in your country.   ❏ V-44SW   ❏ Owner’s Manual   ❏ Operation Reference   ❏ Power Cord   2. Set Up and Make the Connections   Precautions for Rack Mounting   ● When mounting the V-44SW in a rack or other such enclosure, observe the following precautions to ensure efficient and   effective cooling.   • Ensure that the location provides good air flow and ventilation.   • Do not allow the vents to become obstructed.   • Avoid using the V-44SW in sealed-type rack mounts. As this type of rack does not permit heated air within the rack to   be expelled, the heated air is drawn into the V-44SW as a result, thus preventing adequately efficient cooling.   • If the rack’s rear panel is not removable, ensure that a ventilation port or exhaust fan is provided at the top of the rack’s   rear panel to expel any accumulated heat.   V-44SW’s front and rear panels remain unobstructed.   ● Use due caution when mounting the V-44SW in a rack or other enclosure so you don’t get your fingers wedged or pinched.   Connecting the Monitor Used for Displaying the Menus   Connect a television monitor to the MENU connector (☞ p. 14).   Video brightness and contrast adjustments and a variety of other settings for the V-44SW are made in the menus displayed.   These menus appear in the television monitor connected to the MENU connector.   ● You can have the menus appear in the display showing the final output video.   Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [MENU] button; the menu from the “HD/RGB OUT PGM connector/HD/RGB   OUT PREVIEW connector” is alternately displayed and hidden each time the [MENU] button is pressed.   13   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   Setup and Settings Guide   Device Connections   ● Whenever connecting the V-44SW to other devices, always turn off the power to all devices to prevent malfunction and/   or damage to video monitors and other equipment.   ● Be sure to use cables and adapter plugs with the proper connectors matching those of the other devices you are using.   ● Refer to “Examples for Connecting and Setting the V-44SW” (p. 18).   Final Output (RGB)   Final Output (HD)   RGB Video Output Device   HD Video Output Device   SD Video Output Device   Plasma Display   or Other Display   HD Camera   or Other Device   DV Camera, Player,   or Other Device   Projector or Other Display   PC or Other Device   VGA input connector   HD input connector   VGA output connector HD output connector S-Video output   connector   Composite   output connector   S-Video   cable   Composite   cable   VGA cable   VGA cable   D-sub-5BNC cable   D-sub-5BNC cable   V-44SW Rear Panel   Ground   terminal   Powe cord   VGA cable   To power outlet   D-sub-5BNC   cable   VGA input connector   VGA cable   D-sub-5BNC   VGA Display   or Other Display   cable   Composite cable   Preview Monitor   HD input connector   VGA input connector   HD input connector   S-Video input connector Composite input connecto   Multiformat Monitor   or Other Display   VGA Display   or Other Device   Multiformat Monitor   or Other Device   TV Monitor   or Other Device   TV Monitor   or Other Device   Preview Monitor   VGA Monitor   HD IN Monitor   Menu Display Monitor   SD IN Monitor   14   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   Setup and Settings Guide   About the S-VIDEO IN Connectors and COMPOSITE IN Connectors   The V-44SW is set at the factory so that if video is input via both the S-VIDEO IN connector and the COMPOSITE IN   connector for the same channel, the S-VIDEO IN connector’s input takes precedence.   set “1: SD Input Select” to “Composite.” For more on menu operations, refer to “Working with the Menus” (p. 27).   About Formats for Video Input Through the HD/RGB IN Connectors   The V-44SW is set at the factory to determine the format of video input through the HD/RGB IN connectors automatically.   ● If you want to specify the video format for the HD/RGB inputs, select the input channel with “3. HD/RGB Input” in the menu, set “2: Input   Format” to “Manual,” then select the video format with “2: Input Format.” For more on menu operations, refer to “Working with the Menus”   (p. 27).   About the RGB Input   The V-44SW’s RGB input is not compatible with the “sync-on-green” signal format.   About Loop Thru   the same channel.   (Image)   For example, if you are inputting analog component signals to the HD/RGB IN connector   on Channel 1, you can output the same signals from the Channel 1 HD/RGB LOOP   THRU OUT connector. This function is referred to as “loop thru.”   You can use loop thru to take the video from each input and output it directly to a   television monitor to confirm the images or when using the V-44SW as a slave device   with Multi-Screen output (p. 44).   When using loop thru, set the [TERMINATOR 75Ω] switch to OFF.   Set the switch   to OFF.   • Set the [TERMINATOR 75Ω] switch to on when loop thru function is not used   When not using loop thru, some devices will not function properly unless the   [TERMINATOR 75Ω] switch is set to ON.   • Using loop thru more than twice or more in the same pass causes attenuation of the video.   In connecting V-44SWs and V-440HDs using loop thru, once you have three or more devices connected, the video   signals become more attenuated the further down the signal path the V-44SW or V-440HD is. When using identical video   with three or more V-44SWs and/or V-440HDs, be sure to use a commercially available video multiplexer.   About Connecting the Component Inputs and Outputs   You can use a D-sub to 5-BNC cable to connect the component inputs and outputs.   For more detailed information, refer to “About Connection Cables Used with the Component Inputs and Outputs” (p. 63).   About the Ground Terminal   Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the   surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other   objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are   concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight   hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the   nearest EDIROL/Roland Service Center, or an authorized EDIROL/Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.   Unsuitable places for connection   • Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)   • Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)   • Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)   15   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

You can, for example, control the V-44SW from a Roland   MIDI-compatible product (e.g., a Fantom-X Series keyboard) to conduct video performances synchronized with sounds.   ■ About MIDI   What is MIDI?   MIDI Messages Handled by the V-44SW   MIDI, an abbreviation for Musical Instrument Digital Interface,   is an international standard created to enable exchange of   performance data among devices. Any MIDI-compatible   device can be connected simply with a MIDI cable, allowing   transfer of performance data and control of device operations   and settings   The following MIDI messages are handled with the V-44SW.   ● Bank Select and Program Change   These messages are used for switching tones.   On the V-44SW, these messages are used for selecting   input channels.   ● Control Change Messages   MIDI Connectors   These generally transmit information, such as vibrato, hold,   and volume, that enhances the realism of performances. All   functions are organized according to a controller number   from 0 to 127, with each function being assigned its own   number.   MIDI messages (data handled with MIDI). On the V-440HD,   the MIDI OUT and MIDI THRU are combined in one   connector. The function is switched according to the operation   being performed.   MIDI IN:   MIDI messages from other MIDI devices are   received here.   On the V-44SW, these messages are used with the video   faders and knobs.   MIDI OUT: MIDI messages from the V-440HD are   transmitted from here.   ● System Exclusive Messages   MIDI THRU: MIDI messages received at the MIDI IN   These messages are used for transmitting device-specific   settings.   connector are output as is.   On the V-44SW, these messages are used for transmitting   P in P settings and when setting the Multi Screen outputs.   MIDI channels   When System Exclusive messages are exchanged, MIDI   transmissions are distinguished by Device IDs rather than   MIDI channels. When exchanging System Exclusive   messages, set the devices to the same Device ID.   MIDI is able to send information over a single MIDI cable   independently to two or more MIDI devices. This is made   possible by the concept of MIDI channels. You can think of   MIDI channels as being somewhat similar in function to the   channels on a television. By changing the channel of a TV set,   you can view a variety of programs being transmitted by   different broadcast stations. This is because data is received   only from the transmitter whose channel is selected on the   receiver.   MIDI Implementation Chart   The use of MIDI makes it possible to communicate with a   broad range of electronic musical instruments. However, this   does not mean that all MIDI messages can be exchanged   among all devices. Only those MIDI messages that both of the   communicating devices are designed to understand can be   exchanged. The owner’s manual that comes with a MIDI   device includes a MIDI Implementation Chart (p. 59).   In the same way, a MIDI device whose receive channel is set   to “1” will receive only the data being transmitted by another   MIDI device whose transmit channel is also set to “1.”   Such charts allow you to easily find out which MIDI messages   that device can transmit and receive. When using MIDI   devices, compare the charts for the devices that will be   communicating to check which MIDI messages are   compatible.   45   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Adjust the settings to achieve the correct   aspect ratio.   ● Video is being output in a format incompatible with   the display or projector   ➔ “About the Scaling Type” (p. 33)   The video may be disrupted if the video output from the V-   44SW is in a format that is not compatible with the receiving   display or projector.   ● The RGB input’s horizontal synchronization is set to a   rate other than 60 Hz or 75 Hz   Find out the formats supported by your display or projector   and reselect an appropriate output format.   ➔ “Setting the Output Format” (p. 30)   If the horizontal synchronization of the RGB video is not set   to 60 Hz or 75 Hz, the video image may end up being   extended in the vertical direction.   ● The V-44SW is connected to a device requiring a   ● Signals do not conform to VESA standards   reference signal (black burst signal)   image may be extended vertically or horizontally as a   result.   The V-44SW does not input or output reference signals   (black burst signals). For this reason, video images may   become disrupted if you connect the V-44SW to a device   that requires a reference signal. If this occurs, use the   following methods of avoiding disruption of the video   images.   If adjusting the aspect ratio, select “3. HD/RGB Input” from   the menu, then set “5: Scaling Type” to “Manual.” Follow   this by making the settings for “6. Manual X Scale” through   “9. Y Position.”   • Input the Y signal from the V-44SW’s HD/RGB OUT PGM   connector to the reference signal input connector on the   connected device.   ➔ “Setting the HD/RGB Input” (p. 32)   ➔ “About the Scaling Type” (p. 33)   • Switch the device requiring the reference signal to a mode that   uses reference signals within the component signals.   52   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   Troubleshooting   Screen shows visible vertical discrepancies   Switching Video   Since the V-44SW handles video with differing aspect ratios,   if you do not scale (enlarge/reduce) the input video to match   properly.   Video images disrupted when video is switched   ● When using the screen transition effects (wipe or mix)   For each input channel, set the “Scaling Type” parameter   under “3. HD/RGB Input” in the menu to adjust the aspect   ratio.   When using the screen transition effects (wipe or mix), the   video images may be disrupted at the moment the wipe or   mix effect is most fully applied. To prevent disruption of the   video, try switching the video after first switching   completely to the subsequent video.   The screen aspect ratio may be distorted if the format of the   output video does not match the settings of the device   receiving HD output or RGB output.   ● When using the P in P or key composite effects   ➔ “About the Scaling Type” (p. 33)   Disruption of the video images may occur when the video   is switched while the sub-screen or key composite video is   displayed. To prevent disruption of the video, switch the   video after first switching off the P in P or key composite   effect.   Not all of the video appearing in the screen   There may be instances in which not all of the video output   from the V-44SW appears in the display. This may be due to   differences in the size of the region in which video is not   displayed (the safe area) for some displays. To adjust the   video size so that it does not reach into the safe area, set “5:   Zooming” under “1. Output” in the menu.   Switching of video delayed   Selecting an HD/RGB channel to which no signals are input   may result in delayed switching of the video; this does not   indicate a malfunction.   Colors for input video odd   As the V-44SW inputs and outputs HD, RGB, and SD signals   in analog format, differences in color may occur, even with the   same video material, due to individual differences from one   device to another. Make the settings for each individual input.   ➔ “Setting the HD/RGB Input” (p. 32)   Other   V-44SW becoming heated   ➔ “Setting the SD Input” (p. 34)   ● The cooling fan exhaust vents are blocked   Anything happening to impede the cooling fan exhaust   vents will prevent proper cooling of the V-44SW, causing   temperatures inside the V-44SW to rise. As this may result   in damage to the V-44SW, be sure not to place any   obstructions near the exhaust vents.   Effects   Video images disrupted when video is switched   ● When using the screen transition effects (wipe or mix)   ● Other equipment is stacked on top of the V-44SW   When using the screen transition effects (wipe or mix), the   video images may be disrupted at the moment the wipe or   mix effect is most fully applied. To prevent disruption of the   video, try switching the video after first switching   completely to the subsequent video.   Setting other devices directly on top of the V-44SW may   result in heat from these devices being transferred to the V-   44SW, thus causing the V-44SW to overheat. In such   situations, be sure to provide adequate space between   other devices and the V-44SW.   ● When using the P in P or key composite effects   Odd noises coming from inside the unit   Disruption of the video images may occur when the video   is switched while the sub-screen or key composite video is   displayed. To prevent disruption of the video, switch the   video after first switching off the P in P or key composite   effect.   ● Debris is caught in the cooling fan exhaust vents   If any foreign matter happens to be caught up in the cooling   fan, it can cause audible noises from the interior of the   V-44SW, and may even lead to damage. Do not place any   object liable to enter the exhaust vent near the vent.   Video image not being removed properly   with the key effects   If something does get inside the exhaust vent and you are   unable to remove it from the outside, contact the nearest   EDIROL/Roland Service Center, listed on the back page of   the warranty card.   Select “5. Key” from the menu and adjust the value of the “3:   Soft Edge” setting. If the value is set too high, portions of the   video not belonging to the key image may also end up being   masked.   Use video input that features a high signal-to-noise ratio. For   example, you can achieve better key composite results with   HD key images than with SD key images.   53   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
