AV Studio and Live Streaming
Until now, achieving a high-definition AV studio with live streaming required a large
amount of equipment: video switchers, audio mixers, converters for adjusting the
input signals of devices with different resolutions, LCD monitors, and so on.
The VR-50HD is an all-in-one device − a complete
high-definition production center in a single unit.
You can connect cameras, computers, Blu-ray players, DVD players,
microphones, iPads, and more for use as input devices, without having to worry
about whether the equipment is analog or digital or what formats they output.
In addition to HD-SDI and HDMI output for HD recording equipment, the unit also
provides USB 3.0 and 2.0 output. This enables the ability to connect a computer
and perform live streaming and recording. All digital video output connectors
include embedded audio as well.

Presentations and Live Events
You never know what kind of material on what devices/media will be brought to a
presentation or live event. The notebook computers that presenters bring can
have a variety of connectors from VGA to DVI, HDMI, and others. Resolutions are
also diverse, and quick accommodation is not always possible. Use of
commercially available Blu-ray discs and DVDs can also run into the problem of
playback being restricted by HDCP.
The VR-50HD resolves such issues without the need
for any additional equipment.
Even when input devices use different resolutions, internal scalers perform
automatic conversion to the optimal resolution. The built-in scalers also let you
expand and reduce video and still images however you like for perfect framing.
The VR-50HD features an HDCP mode that lets you input and switch commercial
digital video from sources such as Blu-ray discs or game consoles encoded using
HDCP digital copyright management technology. This is a multi-format AV mixer
that you can count on to handle whatever material turns up on-site.
*In HDCP mode, only HDMI output can be used. Use of SDI, RGB/Component, Composite, analog audio output is not possible.
