The Roland XS-1HD Multi-Format Matrix Switcher is a versatile, table-top 4-In/4-Out HDMI matrix switcher capable of resolution of up to WUXGA/1080p. The unit offers frame synchronization and scaling on all inputs, while three operational modes provide a variety of applications. Matrix mode allow for switching of four sources to any of four outputs, while Switcher mode allows Picture-in-Picture, key-composting, and dissolve transitions. Split mode allows Picture-in-Picture of up to three inset windows with individual position, size, and layering. The built-in audio mixer allows the HDMI audio and analog stereo input to be mixed. There’s also an “audio follow” function that switches the audio in synchronization with video transitions. The switcher offers sixteen memories allowing for easy recall when needed. The XS-1HD ships with a power adapter and power cord.

Designed for meetings and huddle spaces, Roland’s XS-42H Matrix Switcher 4 x 2 HDMI enables you to switch up to four HDMI sources to one or two output displays. This compact unit features auto source detection, source scaling, and web-based browser setup and wireless control using your tablet, laptop, or smartphone.

The XS-42H Switcher supports multiple video resolutions up to 1080p60, offers mix and cut transitions, and accepts still image and logo input via a USB port. Use the internal audio mixer to adjust the embedded HDMI audio and output audio via the RCA connections to external speakers.

The XS-42H Switcher’s dual HDMI outputs can be used to present complementary content like documents, a website window, or video conferencing in addition to your main speaker or presentation. A default input source can be set to display before each use and a still photo or your company logo can be input for automatic display if the XS-42H Switcher is unlinked from your computer.
