Roland SR-20HD Direct Streaming AV Mixer

Full Description

Livestreaming made easy - no compute required!

The Roland SR-20HD Direct Streaming AV Mixer is the perfect solution for businesses and organizations looking to produce high-quality live streams without the need for a computer. With this compact and portable unit, you can connect your AV devices and securely stream directly to multiple platforms over LAN. Whether you're streaming to Facebook, YouTube Live, Twitch, or your own content delivery network (CDN), the SR-20HD ensures professional results every time.

Streamlined production tasks

Designed for success, the SR-20HD combines dual streaming encoders, video switching, audio mixing, and recording support into one unit, streamlining production tasks and reducing points of failure. Plug in your HDMI devices such as cameras, smartphones, tablets, and computers running presentation software, and connect a wide range of audio sources including microphones and musical instruments. Once everything is connected, simply join your network router and begin live streaming with ease.

Secure and reliable operation

Built with advanced Roland A/V technologies, the SR-20HD offers secure and reliable operation. Automatic functions run in the background to eliminate dropped streams and protect your organization from broadcasting inappropriate content. Unlike computer-based streaming, which carries the risk of malware and network issues, all streaming tasks are handled within the SR-20HD, ensuring a secure and hassle-free experience for your enterprise network.

Adaptive bitrate for seamless streaming

Say goodbye to interruptions and bandwidth issues with the SR-20HD's Adaptive Bitrate function. This intelligent feature monitors the quality of your network connection and automatically adjusts the streaming rate to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted live stream.

Mobile phone tethering acts as a backup connection

Don't sweat it if your main network connection fails. The SR-20HD's mobile phone tethering feature allows you to use a 4G or 5G data plan as a backup streaming connection. Simply connect your mobile phone via USB, and if anything happens to your main hardwired network connection, the SR-20HD will seamlessly switch to the tethered mobile phone for uninterrupted streaming.

Safety delay unscripted events

With the SR-20HD, you can confidently livestream unscripted events, knowing that you have full control over the content being broadcasted. The Safety Delay function buffers up to 60 seconds of video and audio, giving you the ability to switch to a still image or mute the sound if anything goes wrong during the live stream.

Dual streaming destinations

Expand your audience reach with the SR-20HD's dual streaming destinations feature. Encode and broadcast live streams to two independent channels on the same platform, allowing you to reach a wider audience or create a backup for archiving or later distribution.

Panel lock for hands-free live broadcasts

Prevent any accidental disruptions during your live stream with the SR-20HD's Panel Lock feature. You can disable access to various hardware controls and menu parameters on an individual basis, leaving only the essential functions needed for the live stream. This ensures a smooth and uninterrupted broadcast every time.

Simplified recording and playback

In addition to live streaming, the SR-20HD also offers simplified recording and playback capabilities. Capture H.264 MP4 video directly to an SDXC card for later editing or uploading to platforms like YouTube. You can also capture stereo WAV audio independently for podcasts and other media-driven content. Accessing media stored on the SDXC card allows you to bring higher production values to your presentations.

Advanced audio control with advanced mixer section

With up to four XLR microphone inputs, line-level signals, and a headset mic, the SR-20HD covers all your audio needs for single presenters, conference panels, and music performances. Mix in digital audio from HDMI and USB sources, as well as audio from videos and music files stored on the SDXC card. Make quick volume adjustments for individual sources using the dedicated faders and knobs, and utilize EQ and dynamics processing for enhanced audio quality. The SR-20HD also features user-assignable function buttons for quick access to auto mixing, audio/video playback, and more.

Automated switching and mixing

Streamline your workflow with the SR-20HD's automated switching and mixing capabilities. Use the video auto-switching feature to change video input sources at predetermined time intervals, making your presentation more dynamic. The auto-mixing function ensures a balanced mix between connected microphones, automatically reducing other audio levels when someone starts speaking. With the audio follows video function, the corresponding audio automatically follows when you switch to a different video source, simplifying multi-presenter broadcasts. The SR-20HD also supports scene presets, allowing you to execute complex switching functions with ease and keep your audience engaged.

Hi-res streaming for live action

When it comes to live sports or events with quick movement, the SR-20HD offers high-quality streaming options. In high-quality mode, you can increase the frame rate to 60 FPS, reducing motion blur and advanced features such as Adaptive Bitrate for uninterrupted streaming, mobile phone tethering for backup connectivity, safety delay to prevent offensive content from being broadcasted, and dual streaming destinations to reach a wider audience.
