Main Features
Eight channels of video input
The V-8 provides video input connectors for eight video (composite) channels and four S-video channels. Of the input channels 18, S-video input is available only for channels 58.
* If S-video and video (composite) are both input to a channel 57, the input from the S-video connector will take priority and will be selected automatically. Likewise, if S-video and RGB signals from a computer are both input to channel 8, the S-video will take priority.
Computer input jacks with built-in scan converters
A built-in scan converter supports RGB signals (VGA to UXGA) from a computer. The incoming RGB signal is converted to a video signal. By key-compositing a computer screen with a video image, you can use this as a titler.
* There are two computer input connectors. A switch on the operating panel allows one of the two to be selected.
Two independent frame synchronizers
Even if an unstable video signal is input, the internal frame synchronizer can correct the synchronization signal. This allows you to use a variety of video without worrying about noise caused by unstable synchronization signals.
Monitor out connectors for eight channels
An independent monitor out connector is provided for each video input channel 18.
* If both S-video and video (composite) signals are being input to channels 57, or if both an S-video signal and a computer output signal are being input to channel 8, the input from the S-video connector will take priority, and will be sent from monitor out. The input signal from the computer will also be sent from monitor out as a video signal.
High-quality digital effects
Digitally processed effects are built in. You can apply a variety of high-quality effects including Picture In Picture, Mirror, Multi, Feedback, and Afterimage. In addition to the familiar Mix and Wipe transitions, new transitions such as FAM (Full Additive Mix), NAM (Non-Additive Mix), Slide, and Stretch are also provided.
Simple and customizable operation
Switching between video sources and mixing them is easy. The T-bar type video fader can be attached in either a horizontal or vertical orientation according to your preference. Sliders are used for effect controllers, allowing you to operate the V-8 like a DJ mixer.
Synchronize with music
By pressing the TAP button in time with the beat of the music, you can switch images or control effects in synchronization with the tempo (BPM).
Control via MIDI
MIDI connectors (IN, OUT/THRU) are provided, allowing you to switch images or control effects by controlling the V-8 from an external MIDI device. You can also control an external device from the V-8. In addition, the V-8 can be used in conjunction with V-LINK compatible audio/video equipment to easily create video output that is linked with the expressive elements of a performance.

301
Additional Precautions
***
Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce visible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet. The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern. Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to video monitors or other devices.
This unit allows you to switch images or turn video effects on/off at high speed. For some people, viewing such images can cause headache, nausea, or other discomfort. Do not use this unit to create video that might cause these types of health problems. Roland Corporation will accept no responsibility for any such health problems that may occur in yourself or in viewers. Please be aware that the contents stored at the [MEMORY] knob (p. 28) can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit's memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer). Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Placement
352a
This unit may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this unit in the vicinity of such receivers. Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off. When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
452
Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

About the composite connectors and MONITOR OUT connectors
The V-8's composite inputs and outputs use BNC connectors. If your connection cables have RCA phono plugs, you'll need to use the included (or commercially available) RCA-BNC adaptor plugs.
About cable routing
Using an S-video cable will provide a higher-quality image. However, if the cable routing is very long, noise may appear in the image. If this occurs, use a composite cable.
Introduction
About the inputs
The S-video connector input will take priority for input channels 58.
About the final output
Connections
The same image is sent from all of the OUTPUT connectors (composite connectors and S-video connector).
About the ground terminal
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest EDIROL/Roland Service Center, or an authorized EDIROL/Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page. Unsuitable places for connection · Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution) · Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion) · Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)
Basic operation Switching images
