Roland - 'VC-1-DMX Video Lighting Converter'

Dynamic Light ShowsDynamic 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.
Synchronised Lighting Made Easy

Simply connect your sources to the A/V inputs on the VC-1-DMX and let Roland’s advanced technology do all the work. Signals are analysed at lightning speed and sent to the 3-pin and 5-pin DMX outputs, ready for distribution to all your DMX gear.
HDMI and Analog Inputs

Follows Incoming signals via HDMI and Analog Audio InputsThe VC-1-DMX can receive digital video and sound via HDMI and analog sound through its stereo RCA audio inputs.
