the perfect companion for the V-8.
■ A natural evolution of the legendary V-4
Compact Video Mixer
The EDIROL V-8 has all the features of the legendary V-4, such as, ease of
use, high-quality digital processing of video, numerous video effects and
BPM sync with music. This next generation video mixer includes new effects
and expands the potential to new applications and dimensions.
■ DV Quality Video Outputs with Full Digital
Processing
The internal processing of V-8 is 4:2:2 full-frame digital. More than 500
lines of video resolution ensure very high image quality after digital
processing and mixing.
■ Direct input of computer signal
The V-8 has a built-in scan converter, providing direct input of RGB signals
(VGA - UXGA) from two D-Sub terminals on the rear panel. With the selector
switch located on the top panel, you can select between two computer sources.
Using the luminance key or chroma key, enables logos or text from your
computer to be keyed over background video enabling the display of lyrics,
bottom thirds, and announcements. Integrating computer graphics and visual
applications with video sources has never been easier.
The V-8 provides a one-unit solution to various facilities and applications.

■ New Video Filters and Numerous Transitions
All your favorite effects like colorize and negative are included, along with
newly added effects like feedback, afterimage, emboss, find edge and more.
Composite two images with Picture-in-Picture and Luminance or Chroma
keying. Customize your transitions between the A and B bus with multiple
flavors of simple mix, hard or soft wipes, and the all-new stretch and slide
transitions.
■ Independent faders on each bus as well as
master output
Faders are independently equipped for both A/B buses allowing you to
create a video fade on just one bus or adjust the various video effects
parameters. The master fader control is a slider bar enabling quick and
intuitive operation while working on the fly.
■ Next generation V-LINK control enables
audio- follow
The V-8 can be remote controlled from EDIROL PR series video presenters
as well as the V-4. The V-8 can also send remote control signals to the new
generation of Roland's digital audio mixer, the RSS M-400 (V-Mixer). The
motorized faders of the M-400 automatically follow the video switching of
the V-8. Now you can have your audio sources follow your video sources
without the need to change two mixers at once.

Bridging the Audio & Visual World
V-LINK is a MIDI-based protocol that enables
audio/musical devices and video devices to
communicate with each other via simple connection
resulting in expanded audio/visual applications.
V-LINK equipped devices allow creators to trigger video
clips, perform video effects/transitions and wow
audiences with real-time audio/video manipulation and
creation. For example, controlling EDIROL video
products from V-LINK compatible musical instruments
allows musicians to perform visually while
simultaneously playing an instrument. Further, the V-LINK
function allows the EDIROL video mixer to control the
RSS M-400 live audio mixer. This enables the correct
audio source to follow the specific videos source
thereby ensuring that the video and matching audio will
always stay synchronized.
