Send to Multiple Destinations
With seven freely assignable outputs—including three SDI, three HDMI, and one USB-C streaming—the V-160HD puts a high-end video matrix at your command. Feed program displays, auxiliary monitors, multi-view producer displays, and the online audience at once, complete with a “clean” output left over for a recording feed.
Powerful Video Effects Engine with Flexible Output Routing
Video effects and graphics are must-haves to bring polish and excitement to any production. The V-160HD’s newly updated chroma key engine features upgraded keyer algorithms and eight layers that can be assigned to the Program, Sub-Program, and three Aux outputs, so you’ll always keep audiences engaged with visually appealing content.
Professional Graphics Made Easy
The Graphics Presenter software for Windows allows you to create stunning titles and graphics without the need for expensive third-party graphic presentation solutions. Setup with the V-160HD is quick and straightforward, requiring only a single HDMI connection to send fill and key signals from the computer to the switcher.
Sonic Perfection
The V-160HD features a 40-channel digital audio mixer with studio-grade sound quality. Mix any embedded audio signal pair (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) from each of the 16 video inputs, microphones and line-level devices connected to the two balanced XLR combo and stereo RCA inputs, and USB-C audio. And with the convenience of onboard Bluetooth, it’s possible to wirelessly stream music and other sound sources from a phone or tablet as well. There’s also an extensive effects library for polishing sounds and quickly resolving common issues like audio synchronization and background noise removal.
Extensive PTZ Camera Support
Robotic PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras greatly expand your production capabilities. They provide extended coverage with studio-grade broadcast quality and can be placed in discreet locations thanks to their small size. The V-160HD includes built-in support to directly control select Canon, JVC, Panasonic, Sony, PTZOptics, Avonic, and VISCA-compatible PTZ LAN cameras. Mix and match different brands as you like and operate up to 16 PTZ cameras simultaneously. With the Version 3.0 update, you even set angles and save/recall presets with a USB numeric keypad.
A Winning Workflow Combination
Pairing the P-20HD with the V-160HD* creates a complete broadcast switching and playback solution ready to handle nearly any local production. Over an HDMI output, you can route any input source—including SDI—to the P-20HD for recording and instant replay. In addition, P-20HD clip playback and V-160HD input switching actions are synchronized over LAN/RS-232. Our Graphics Presenter software enhances your workflow even more, letting you add attractive stinger transitions to standard and slow-motion playback.
Switch Cropped ROI Areas on the VC-100UHD
When using the VC-100UHD 4K Video Scaler with the V-160HD (Version 3.3 and later), you can now expand your video input sources by switching ROI windows on the VC-100UHD from the V-160HD via a network connection. At conferences and other events, this streamlines your production workflow by allowing you to create multiple shots from a single 4K video source. These switching assignments on the V-160HD are easy to control with user buttons, macros, and external sources.
