Q: 1. Will this video switcher work with a Sony HDV Handycam HDR-FX100?

A: If the HDR-FX100 can output a live camera signal through its HDMI socket, I don't see any reason why it would not make a direct connection with the HDMI input of the Roland V-H1D and be a switched-able input. This Roland switcher is great and easy to operate.Enjoy.

Q: 2. how to buy product without pay pal. I just have visa and master card.

A: We accept Visa and Mastercard Credit Cards on our website. You could be able to pay with either card.

Q: 3. How to add Graphic Overlay?

A: The Roland V-1HD has graphics keying capabilities. You could bring in a source with graphics in to one of the 4 HDMI inputs. Datavideo offers the TC-200 & CG-200 HD/SD Character Generator Kit, B&H #DATC200, which can be connected through HDMI. You could also look at connecting a computer or tablet for keying with this unit.

Q: 4. What latency does this product incur? If I used a live camera to screen or played a video to screen on a conference, would the vision be in sync to microphones? or as close as. I can't see the latency on the specs. Thanks

A: Normal switching there is no lag, but you can add delay if needed to the audio on this switcher so that it lines up with any video that may be delayed by projectors, etc. The menus are really comprehensive and there are one or two great longer in depth videos on youtube on this switcher that go into it in a bit more detail including one that touches on the ability to add delay to audio if needed.

Q: 5. Will the V1 accept a HDMI signal from Panasonic HDC-TM700? I see 35' as a length for HDMI cables I tried on the Black Magic and it would't accept any HDMI signal from the Panasonic TM700 over 12'. That being the case I returned it since it didn't state that condition.

A: Generally speaking, an HDMI signal is not strong and weakens exponentially with distance traveled. I would blame the distance and the type of HDMI cable before any switcher. If indeed the switcher is not accepting the signal another does, I would still suggest getting a better cable. HDMI signals peter out 30-35' so if you are anywhere near that, you need HDMI cabling with booster circuitry. Please follow the link for a selection of longer distance HDMI cables. http://bhpho.to/1LRl5rv

Q: 8. I know the preview screen has a split screen mode, but does the output as well? As in can I switch from showing one source, to all 4 at once if I wanted?

A: The Preview Output can be set as a Multi-View window which allows you to see all 4 of your sources. You cannot do the same for all 4 HDMI signals through its program out I'm afraid. However this unit does allow you to output 2 sources through its Picture-in-Picture and Split Screen Modes.

Q: 9. Can I connect Shure BLX14/CVL Lavalier Wireless Microphone System directly into Roland V-1HD using XLR to minijack cable, will it work or should I get small audio mixer separately?Thanks
