Roland VC-200HD Features

Features added to
VC-300 HD/VC-200HD version 1.02
Added Features
Support for HDV/DV input/output from PC non-linear editing software
Support for PC non-linear editing software has been added. HDV/DV signals can now be input/
output with respect to software such as Adobe Premier Pro or Apple Final Cut Pro 5.0.
Support for SD-SDI signal (ITU BT.656 Rev. 3) input
The SD-SDI signal (ITU BT.656 Rev. 3), which was not supported in version 1.01, is now supported.
Accordingly, the SD-SDI output from SonyDigital BETACAM DVW-A500 can now be input.
* Time code data (SMPTE 266M) is not supported.
Added the "Change DVI-I INPUT Connector DDC
By overwriting the DDC, a variety of formats can be input to the DVI-I INPUT connector. In addition,
this feature also allows DVI-D input to support 1080i, 720p, and 1080p from a PC.
See "How to change the DDC Table of the DVI-I Connector" on the page at right.
Bug Fixes
• Fixed the problem of the video occasionally being corrupted when output was set to 480i or 576i.
• Fixed the problem of the audio on the Rch being one sample slower than the Lch.
• Fixed the problem that caused the parameters of Menu 311 to Menu 460 to not be reflected on actual
operations when turning on the power.
• Fixed the problem that caused noise to appear on the left side of the screen with Component input.
• Fixed the problem that occasionally caused a freeze when a non-supported signal was input to the
DVI-A input.
• Fixed the problem that caused the preceding and following field images to be output on image
sections with intense brightness differences when the input signal was interlaced.
• Revised so that the synchronizing signal is not embedded in the analog component output color-
difference signal when 480i or 576i is set. (According to the standards, SD component does not have
an embedded synchronizing signal.)
• Fixed the problem of video occasionally slipping one field between theinput and the output.
