Roland RSS V-Mixer Series Manual

Create "audio-follows-video" with the video mixers

Using V-LINK to create "Audio-Follows-Video"

with the RSS V-Mixer and EDIROL Video Mixers

The RSS V-Mixer family of digital mixers can accept MIDI from EDIROL video mixers to automate specific

faders. When a video source is selected on the EDIROL video mixer, the corresponding audio fader(s) on the

RSS V-Mixer will activate.

When fading slowly between two video sources, the V-Mixer's audio will slowly fade the corresponding

audio faders at the same rate.

This greatly simplifies the task of cueing up audio when a video source is selected.

You can perform audio-follows-video with your RSS M-400/M-380 and the EDIROL video mixers V-440HD, V-8 and

LVS-800.

Begin by connecting a standard 5-pin MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT port of your EDIROL video mixer to the

MIDI IN port of your RSS V-Mixer.

Make sure the SELECT switch on the rear of your RSS V-Mixer is set to MIDI.

Next, you need to make a few MIDI settings on your RSS V-Mixer.

1) Press SYSTEM button.
