Good product, recommended

For a long time I wanted a full HD mixer, but they were all too expensive. Finally, Roland put together this gem at a great price - and it does everything I need it to do. I get crystal clear video out of it and it has a very nice set of features and effects. I previously owned a V-4EX which was good, but it was not full HD (only 480p) internally, and an SD mixer before that. This is a huge step up from those mixers and I would certainly recommend it over the V-4EX or anything SD. I primarily use it for a weekly podcast, but do some live events as well.The mixer has four full 1080 (HDMI) inputs, so you can mix four video channels. There are two HDMI outputs, one the output stream out and one for preview, though you can program the preview channel as a second output if desired. It also has a separate RCA stereo audio input for a mixer, though you can pull audio from the HDMI inputs (and even do audio follow) if desired. Each audio channel has a separate programmable audio delay which is important to get a proper video-audio sync on many setups. It also has RCA audio out for the mixed audio.I fed this unit into a Ninja Blade recorder which records 4:2:2 video at a high rate and noticed no artifacts in either the video or audio - they are both as clear and sharp as the outputs coming right from the camera. I ran a GH4 with a high speed lens into it to see if it was sharp, and the image was great. Hooked up my laptop as an input - no problem. The video transitions were also clean - no issues with frame synch. The switch on the back lets you select between 720p, 1080i and 1080p output depending on your recorder.I like the layout of the mixer, as well as its compact size (about 12" x 4"). Its certainly small enough to take to a remote event or video shoot, but the buttons are big enough that you don't have to fumble to switch inputs. I'm already thinking it might save me a lot of time in post production versus manual editing for interviews. You could use something like an Atomos HD recorder, two cameras and this unit and have a complete live-switching interview setup that would fit in one backpack.It has a bunch of image effects you can use, though I primarily use the picture-in-picture, split screen, fade transitions and regular cuts. It has a standard A-B bus layout and transition T-handle fader. There are additional effects including a "bpm" feature to switch views with music if you are into that. You can save setups to memory as well.The entire unit can be controlled and settings can be changed remotely from a PC via a USB cable (download the software from the Roland site) as well which might be useful in situations where you want the ability to run it from a control room or using a separate operator.Pros: - Price - At the moment this is a great price for full HD - Portable - this thing is compact (only 12" x 4") - easy to set up for remote shoots - Supports four full 1080i and 1080p inputs, as well as a separate output and preview - Sharp video and audio output - did not notice any extra noise/artifacts - Nice feature set - transitions, picture in picture, split screen - Easy to use, if you have some basic experience with video mixing - Good audio support including audio out, mixing, audio delay, audio effects (gate, compressor, levels, etc), audio following - Extra audio input and audio out - if you have a separate audio mixer or need separate mixed audio out - Remote setup/control of the swtich from a PC via a USB cable if desiredCons: - You can't record directly from this unit - you need a separate video recorder if you want to record and not just view the output live - It does have a small fan that runs while its on - though the noise from it is minimalI'm sure someone will weigh in and say it is missing some "high end" feature, but its also missing the "high end" price. Its almost half what I payed for my V-4EX two years ago. This thing is also amazingly portable - which means I can take it with me to live events. Its the HD switch I always wanted!
