The V-40HD features an HDCP mode that lets you input and switch commercial digital video from sources such
as Blu-ray Discs or game consoles encoded using HDCP digital copyright management technology. This lets you
produce video with unrestricted freedom --- for instance, compositing a video feed from a Blu-ray Disc or tablet
computer against a background from a live camera. Output to a display can be made via HDMI.
*Commercial use of content requires the permission of the copyright-holder.
*In HDCP mode, only DVI-D/HDMI output can be used. Use of Component and Composite output is not possible.
*The display or projector connected to DVI-D/HDMI output must support HDCP.

FANLESS
The design of the V-40HD features
excellent heat-radiating efficiency,
resulting in fanless operation. In
addition to ensuring quietness, this
eliminates the space needs for a
cooling fan, achieving a compact size
even with a large number of connectors.

You can save the V-40HD's settings in
internal memory. Each of the five
memory banks can hold five sets of
settings, letting you save a total of 25
configurations.

MEMORY
HDCP is encoding technology present in the HDMI output from sources such as commercial Blu-ray Discs, digital broadcast tuners,
and game consoles that prevents prevents illicit copying. With ordinary HDMI equipment, it's not possible to process or composite
HDCP-encoded video sources. Equipment that has an HDCP mode, such as the V-40HD, is capable of using these video sources. It can
combine HDCP-encoded sources with each other and with other content to achieve switching, compositing, and display.
What's HDCP?

MIDI Visual Control is an internationally-used recommended practice that was added to the MIDI
specification so that visual expression could be linked with musical performance. Video equipment that is
compatible with MIDI Visual Control can be connected to electronic musical instruments via MIDI in order to
control video equipment in tandem with a performance.
Using V-LINK, musicians can “play” video from their electronic instrument
when used with Roland video products. With V-LINK, musicians have a
powerful interface for realtime audio and video integration.
