Roland Pro A/V VC 1 DMX

 

Dynamic Light Shows—No Operator Needed

Dynamic lighting elevates the energy and excitement of any interactive event, from music concerts and dance clubs to house parties and the local karaoke bar. With the VC-1-DMX Video Lighting Converter, it’s never been easier to bring the impact of a pro light show to any event you put on.

The VC-1-DMX automatically generates control commands for your DMX lighting setup based on input from video and audio sources, eliminating the need for a dedicated lighting operator. Color and brightness change based on the current video image, and lights and mirror balls operate in sync with the music tempo. And if you want to dive deeper, the VC-1-DMX supports external MIDI operation from hardware control surfaces, electronic musical instruments, and computer-based production software.

  • Automatically generates dynamic lighting effects to enhance any event
  • Outputs a DMX signal synchronized with incoming video and audio signals
  • Real-time analysis and lightning-fast processing with advanced Roland technology
  • Connect your A/V source to the HDMI input for analysis and distribute the unprocessed signal to a monitor or switcher via HDMI thru
  • Analog audio also supported with stereo I/O
  • Supports external MIDI control via dedicated MIDI input and USB MIDI
  • Customize DMX settings with dedicated software for macOS and Windows
  • Select channel maps for various DMX lighting fixtures with dip switches on the side panel

True Synchronized Lighting Made Easy

Connect video, audio, and MIDI sources to the VC-1-DMX for automatic conversion and distribution to all your DMX gear. It’s even possible to daisy-chain multiple lighting devices and control them at once. Four channel maps are available via dip switches to control 512 DMX signal channels, and you can customize them all from a computer using the VC-1-DMX Setup Tool.

Advanced Video Analysis

HDMI video signals* are analyzed in up to 32 color areas and converted into luminance information for each color. You can then assign the colors to DMX channels for synchronized control. For example, if the video image is divided horizontally into eight segments and assigned to eight DMX lighting devices lined up horizontally, the lighting will track the horizontal movement of the video image perfectly. 

Lighting That Moves with the Music

The VC-1-DMX also analyzes sound information received at the HDMI and analog audio inputs. This lets you add flash effects along with the beat, change the rotation speed of a mirror ball or other device to match the music tempo, or automatically turn off the lights when there is no sound.

Go Further with MIDI Control

If you want extended control over your system, the VC-1-DMX has you covered with integrated MIDI-to-DMX conversion. Connect a hardware MIDI controller and use MIDI control change messages to adjust a variety DMX parameters such as global dimming, tilt, pan, and more. Or use MIDI note information from keyboards, electronic drums, and other instruments to create lighting effects that follow live music performances. USB MIDI is also supported, allowing you to control your DMX setup from lighting or music production software on your computer.

Customize Your Rig

Using the VC-1-DMX Setup Tool software for macOS and Windows, you can quickly configure the VC-1-DMX for all your DMX lighting hardware. Freely change assignments across 512 DMX channels to match the control needs of your specific gear and easily share settings with multiple VC-1-DMX units.
