Product Information

Full details

The Roland V-02HD MK II is designed for content creators, educators, and small businesses looking to elevate their live streams beyond basic webcam quality. Its primary benefit is providing a simple, yet powerful, two-camera HDMI switching solution with professional audio mixing capabilities that connects directly to streaming platforms via USB-C. A potential caveat is its focus on two HDMI inputs, which might be limiting for users requiring more complex multi-camera setups without additional hardware or wireless expansion.

Do I need a computer to stream with the V-02HD MK II?

Troubleshooting

No video or audio output via USB-C

Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the V-02HD MK II and your computer. Verify that the V-02HD MK II is selected as the video and audio source in your streaming software. Check that HDMI sources are powered on and outputting a signal.

Audio is distorted or too low

Adjust the input levels for the microphones or audio sources using the dedicated knobs or the audio mixer controls within the V-02HD MK II menu or remote app. Ensure the correct input type (MIC or LINE) is selected for your audio devices.

Video signal is not detected from an HDMI source

Confirm that the HDMI cable is functioning correctly and is securely plugged into both the source device and the V-02HD MK II. Check the output resolution and refresh rate of the HDMI source to ensure it's supported by the V-02HD MK II (e.g., 1080p/60fps).

Footswitch is not responding

Ensure the footswitch is properly connected to the appropriate jack. Check the footswitch assignment settings within the V-02HD MK II's menu or remote control app to confirm the desired function is assigned.

Software on computer is crashing or slow

Ensure your computer meets the recommended specifications for your streaming software and the V-02HD MK II. Try closing other unnecessary applications to free up system resources. Update your computer's operating system and graphics drivers.
