ROLAND P-20HD Video Instant Replayer

The ROLAND P-20HD Video Instant Replayer offers an efficient 1080p60 workflow for displaying instant replays and variable speed playback, applying effects and transitions, and applying logos, jingles, and voiceovers. It features a compact and portable standalone hardware design that conserves your computer's GPU power. It can also be connected to switchers to expand your production for a larger distribution workflow.

Connections include two HDMI inputs with scalers, an HDMI output and HDMI preview output (to computers/displays), and RCA L/R audio inputs and outputs. An SD card slot allows you to record everything even as you cue up replays. A 4.3" TFT color LCD lets you monitor previews as well as SD card information such as recording duration and available time. In playback view, you can display cropped previews of all video clips for live replay or compilation into playlists.

System Program:

The P-20HD continues to evolve with the Version 1.2 update, adding 1080i output, MP4 file export, control by V-60HD, USB Keyboard, external footswitches, LAN, and RS-232, and more improvement. Version 1.2 is a free, user-installable update for all P-20HD owners

Record and Replay at the Same Time:

The P-20HD records directly to high-capacity SD cards, which are widely available and easy to swap out. And as you cue up and replay clips, the game keeps recording in the background, with no gaps in the action. The SD card also holds school logos, sponsor graphics, and other still images. Images can be recalled on cue and layered on top of the recorded clips or displayed at full HD resolution.

Add a jingle, music clip, or voiceover file to the SD card and playback on cue to bring excitement to the highlight reels, pump up the crowd or share a sponsor's message.

Plays Well with Others:

The P-20HD can be seamlessly inserted into a variety of workflows. Use it on its own, or upstream or downstream of any Roland video switcher. Connect two cameras and switch/composite between sources to capture them for replay. Both HDMI inputs feature built-in scalers, providing worry-free connectivity with nearly any video source.

One Person Operation:

A pro sports network broadcast has a dedicated team that handles replay duties. With the P-20HD, a single operator can easily mark, cue, and replay clips while managing other elements of a production. Simply register events as clips with button taps while recording, and then instantly play them back with dedicated panel switches. Version 1.2 USB Keyboard, BOSS footswitch and expression pedal provide you to execute different switcher commands more easily.

Built-In Preview Monitor:

With its onboard color display, the P-20HD makes it simple to manage and execute your workflow in real time. In recording view, the screen shows the current video input, plus critical SD card information like recording duration, remaining storage space, and available time. And in playback view, you can display cropped previews of all video clips for live replay or compilation into playlists.

Direct-Access Controls:

Filled with single-task hardware controls, the P-20HD provides a hands-on experience that lets you get the job done with zero frustration. Dedicated transport buttons include play, pause, forward, rewind, mark in, and mark out. A jog/shuttle wheel with optical encoding provides precise, fluid control to scrub clips for replay and editing, while the T-bar lets you adjust playback speed. Engaging the Speed Range function provides ultra-fine control, perfect for focusing in on tight action and contested plays.

Create Highlight and Training Reels:

After the action’s over, use the media playlist builder to aggregate clips into curated pro videos, ready for distribution and sharing on your favorite platform. Celebrate the best moments of a game on social media, or distribute practice and training sessions to coaches and players for further evaluation.

Superb Audio Quality:

The P-20HD features the high-quality sound processing that Roland is famous for. Stereo audio I/O is supported via embedded HDMI and analog RCA jacks, and there’s a convenient headphones jack for signal monitoring. Onboard EQ, limiter, and delay effects are also available to enhance the sound and eliminate audio and video sync issues.

Universal File Compatibility:

The P-20HD records natively in H.264, one of the most universally supported file formats available. H.264 maintains high quality even at low bit rates, providing excellent video at reduced file sizes. All of the most popular online video platforms accept H.264 format, letting you upload files created on the P-20HD with no conversion steps in-between. Version 1.2 The P-20HD exports projects and clips in MP4 file format.

Visually Engage with Fans:

Draw lines or diagram the trajectory of the action to help fans analyze the play and help make commentary easier to understand. Draw with various colors, and shapes, even control the playback speed of the video.

Beginning with version 1.10, real-time annotation over video is economical, and simple with the P-20HD and a connected Wacom Tablet.

A Winning Workflow Combination:

Pairing the P-20HD with the advanced Roland V-60HD video switcher creates a complete broadcast switching and playback solution that’s ready to handle most any local production. Using one of the V-60HD’s HDMI outputs, you can route any input source including SDI to the P-20HD for recording and instant replay. Version 1.2 Replaying the current clip of the P-20HD and switching input of the V-60HD synchronizes via RS-232.
