Professional live production often requires multiple cameras to capture wide shots, close-ups, and different perspectives. The Roland V-1-4K video switcher offers a more efficient approach by using Region of Interest (ROI) cropping to create multiple shots from a single 4K camera.

The V-1-4K allows operators to select up to four areas within a 4K image and assign them to individual switcher crosspoints. This makes it possible to switch between a wide shot and tighter perspectives without adding more physical cameras, cabling, or operators.

With five HDMI inputs featuring built-in scalers, five HDMI outputs, and control through the V-1-4K Remote app, the switcher supports flexible HD and 4K workflows. For AV integrators working with corporate meeting spaces, houses of worship, education, and live event venues, ROI provides a practical way to simplify system design while maintaining professional production capabilities.

Absen M54" Micro LED Display

Panels are now in stock and available now at Broadfield. A nicely configured 2x2 video wall is kitted together by Broadfield as #ABSM542X2 and can be shipped and installed in just a few days with a standard VESA mount and single HDMI cable.

IN STOCK!
$31,236.00 MSRP
Call Cutter at Broadfield at (213) 328-7775 for other configurations and prices

Plug and Play: All It Takes Is One Standard HDMI Cable
The M54 replaces complex LED architecture with an intuitive, LCD-inspired approach. Its standard HDMI interface ensures true plug-and-play functionality, making its usage as effortless as a standard LCD.

Versatile Display Resolutions
M54 is a 54-inch display, enhanced by virtual pixel technology to produce a crisp 1080P HD display. The 2x2 wall can display 4x 1080p signals or be combined for a single 4K UHD display. Larger configurations further increase your display versatility and make this the perfect solution in every environment.

3-in-1 Design: Simplified & Compatible
Sending, receiving and hub functions are integrated into the display unit, with a more stable system — and it works seamlessly with standard LCD controllers for easy integration.

Seamless Splicing: The Ultimate LCD Alternative
The M54 fine-pitch LED, with its native 54-inch 1080P display, provides seamless splicing and is designed to replace 54″/55″ LCD walls in 4×1, 3×3, and other configurations where 1080P per unit is required.

Easy Installation for Effortless Setup
Designed for easy installation with wall-mounting and VESA compatibility, ensuring a quick and straightforward setup.

Choosing an LED video wall for a command center or control room requires more than comparing screen size and resolution. These environments often operate around the clock, displaying dashboards, maps, live video feeds, and other critical information that operators need to interpret quickly.

Important considerations include fine pixel pitch for close viewing, strong contrast for data-heavy interfaces, and high refresh rates for smooth video and moving content. Thermal performance and long-term consistency are also important when a display may operate continuously for thousands of hours.

The Absen KLCOB V2 Series combines fine-pitch clarity, high contrast, and high-refresh performance for demanding visualization environments. Serviceability should also be considered from the beginning, especially in command centers where taking a display offline for maintenance can disrupt operations.

For integrators designing control rooms, network operations centers, security operations centers, and other mission-critical environments, the goal isn't simply a larger display. It's creating a reliable visualization system that keeps important information clear and accessible around the clock.

As Banana Ball expands across the United States, its broadcast infrastructure has had to scale with it. For 2026, the Banana Ball Championship League includes six teams, 75 stadiums across 45 states, and nearly 200 games, with NETGEAR AV networking supporting the production behind Banana Ball TV.

Fans First Entertainment upgraded its Savannah, Georgia, REMI production facilities to support as many as three simultaneous live broadcasts. NETGEAR M4350 switches form the core of the network, connecting production switchers, replay systems, intercom, video router control, computers, and other critical broadcast systems. M4250 switches and WiFi 7 access points also support the larger deployment.

For a production traveling between college, minor-league, and major-league stadiums, flexibility is critical. NETGEAR Engage provides centralized switch visibility and management, while auto trunking allows crews to connect switches as production requirements change without pre-planning every trunk port.

With Banana Ball reaching audiences across ABC, ESPN, The CW, and YouTube, the deployment demonstrates how scalable AV networking can support large REMI and live sports production while keeping the underlying infrastructure simple for production teams to manage.

Not every professional display follows a standard 16:9 format. LED walls, widescreen displays, and custom AV installations often require content to fit unique resolutions, dimensions, and layouts.

The Roland VC-1SC-4K helps integrators and production teams adapt video sources to these non-standard displays with flexible scaling, size and position controls, and Region of Interest (ROI) cropping.

For corporate AV, live events, digital signage, and LED installations, these tools make it easier to optimize content for the available pixels while simplifying the workflow between the video source and display.
