Roland encourage fellow manufacturers to implement audio/visual technology
At their NAMM ‘press and technology conference’, Roland sent an open invitation to competing manufacturers to embrace the V-Link protocol, which enables audio and video equipment to communicate using the basis of the standard MIDI specification. Roland likened the potential power of V-Link to that of MIDI, and encouraged other manufacturers to consider the future of the industry.
During the conference, they demonstrated various implementations of V-Link technology, with the new Fantom G8 and V-Synth GT generating and manipulating moving and still images, the SP555 triggering video samples, and an Edirol vision mixer being used to control both video and audio, by communicating with the new Roland V-Mixing system.
If Roland’s competitors embrace V-Link, we could be in for some interesting new product announcements in the coming years, so keep your eyes on SOS Magazine, and on the news pages of the web site...
