What customers say
The Roland V-02HD MK II is celebrated as a portable powerhouse simplifying complex streaming. Users highly value its robust feature set, especially seamless handling of two HDMI inputs with essential scaling and frame rate conversion, which greatly aids multi-camera setups. The direct USB C output for plug and play streaming without extra capture cards is a major benefit for mobile use. Integrated audio mixing also offers comprehensive control.

Know before you buy
Yes, the V-02HD MK II acts as a standard webcam device when connected via USB-C. This means it is compatible with virtually any streaming platform or software that accepts a USB video input, including StreamYard, Zoom, and vMix.
The unit is powered via its USB-C connection to your computer. This simplifies your setup by reducing the number of cables and power bricks needed on your desk.
The Preview output allows you to monitor your secondary camera or check your next shot before switching it to the live Program feed. This is essential for ensuring your framing and focus are correct before the audience sees them.
No, the V-02HD MK II is designed for 1080p workflows. While it can handle high-quality 1080p/60 FPS streams, it does not support 4K resolution inputs or outputs.
While the T-bar is the primary method for manual transitions, the unit features intuitive buttons for direct cuts and can also be controlled via external footswitches or MIDI controllers for hands-free operation.
