Multi-Screen Modes
This chapter describes alternative modes of the V-1600HD. The V-1600HDs operation mode is set to the DSK mode by default, and internal signal flow is as shown in the figure in Switching the AUX Output Point (p. 43). Changing to an alternative mode alters the internal signal flow. Changing the mode is accomplished at the SYSTEM menu, using [Bus Structure].
fig.mode-change-menu.eps
In addition to the DSK mode, the V-1600HD also includes the following four modes. Changing the mode makes the operation methods and menu items change as well.
AUX mode (p. 59) Split mode (p. 60) Span mode (p. 61) Dual mode (p. 62)
For information on the operation methods for special modes, download the separately available reference document (MultiScreen Modes Reference Guide) from the following Roland website. http://www.rolandsystemsgroup.net/
In the split, span, and dual modes, the features described below cannot be used. You can use these features only when in the DSK or AUX mode. Two-screen compositing (PinP or KEY) cannot be carried out. The downstream keyer is disabled. Some features are restricted when operating the unit remotely from an external device via MIDI or RS-422. Transition effects cannot be applied. When [CUT] is selected, a black screen is inserted momentarily at the time of the transition. When [MIX] is selected, a black screen is inserted and a fade-in or fade-out occurs.

About Remote Control
The V-1600HD supports remote control via V-LINK, MIDI, or RS-422. You can operate the V-1600HD remotely from a musical instrument, musical-production device, video presenter, or other external equipment that supports RS-422. When performing remote control, download the reference document from the following Roland website. http://www.rolandsystemsgroup.net/
About Rack Mount

You can mount the V-1600HD in a 19-inch rack.
When mounting the unit in a rack, observe the following precautions. The display and video fader protrude beyond the mounting surface of the rack. Take care not to damage them when mounting the unit. To prevent incorrect operation or malfunction, take care not to subject areas protruding beyond the rack to accidental impact. Use a rack of at least 9U. To ensure room for connectors and cables as well as space around the ventilation ports, ensure 2U of clearance above the unit (7U). When mounting, turn off the power to the V-1600HD and detach the power cord and all connection cables. Use all threaded holes (at 4 locations on each side, for a total of 8) to secure the unit to the rack using screws. (Screws for rack-mounting are not included.) When mounting the unit in the rack, use due caution to ensure that your fingers do not get caught or pinched between a rack-mount bracket and the rack.
About Rack Mount Angles

When using the unit with the rack mount angles detached, remove the screws at the locations shown in the figure below (at 3 locations on each side, for a total of 6).
fig.angle-screws.eps
When detaching or installing the rack mount angles, give attention to the following precautions. Before removing any screws, turn off the power to the V-1600HD and detach the power cord and all connection cables. Be sure to block the screw holes with the removed screws. Never use any screws except the removed ones to block the screw holes. Using other screws may cause malfunction. When reinstalling the rack mount angles, turn off the power to the V-1600HD and detach the power cord and all connection cables. Also, be sure to install using the original screws.
