Powerful, portable, and simple to operate, the SR-20HD Direct Streaming AV Mixer makes it easy to manage the modern livestreaming requirements of your business or organization. No computer is required, and everything needed to switch and stream is integrated into a single unit that anyone can use with minimal training. When consistency, dependability, and network security are top priorities, the SR-20HD delivers professional results every time.
Plug In and Stream
Using the two HDMI inputs, you can connect common video sources such as cameras, smartphones, tablets, and computers running presentation software. In addition, a wide range of audio inputs are available for mics, music players, electronic musical instruments, and more.
Once everything is plugged in, simply connect to your network router and begin livestreaming with team members, clients, or students on Facebook, YouTube Live, Twitch, or by RTMP to your CDN.Secure and Reliable OperationPacked with advanced Roland A/V technologies, the SR-20HD reduces the need for technical support and experienced staff members. Automatic functions run in the background to eliminate dropped streams and help protect your organization from broadcasting inappropriate content. And since all streaming tasks are handled within the SR-20HD, there’s no risk of malware and other issues that come with computer-based streaming on your enterprise network.
Built-In Preview MonitorWith 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.
Adaptive BitrateThe SR-20HD’s unique Adaptive Bitrate function monitors the quality of the network connection and automatically adjusts the streaming rate to reduce interruptions due to bandwidth issues.
Mobile Phone Tethering
A mobile phone with a 4G or 5G data plan can be used as the primary streaming connection or a redundant backup. Should anything happen to your main hardwired network connection, the SR-20HD will automatically switch to the tethered mobile phone over USB.
Safety Delay
With the SR-20HD, you can confidently stream unscripted events and prevent offensive content from being broadcast to your audience. The Safety Delay function buffers up to 60 seconds of video and audio, allowing you to switch to a still image or mute the sound if anything goes wrong.
Dual Streaming Destinations
Encode and broadcast livestreams to two independent channels on the same platform to reach a wider audience or create a backup for archiving or later distribution.
Panel Lock
Panel Lock prevents users from accidentally changing settings that could disrupt a broadcast. You can disable access to a wide range of hardware controls and menu parameters on an individual basis, leaving only the essential functions needed for the livestream.
Simplified Recording and Playback
The SR-20HD’s onboard recorder lets you capture H.264 MP4 video* to an SDXC card for later editing or uploading to YouTube or enterprise intranets. In addition, stereo WAV audio can be captured independently for podcasts and other audio-driven media. It’s also possible to access media stored on the SDXC card to bring higher production values to your presentations.**
*The recording bitrate is the same as the livestream encoding bitrate.
**SDXC video playback is only available when streaming in Standard mode.
