The EDIROL V-8: setting a new standard in video mixing

EDIROL announce the V-8, a compact video mixer expanding on the international success of the industry standard V-4...

EDIROL's V-4 has become an industry standard in the world of affordable video mixing. Now EDIROL are expanding on its success with the announcement of the brand new V-8 mixer.

A new mixing standard
The EDIROL V-8 expands on the power of the V-4 by offering a total of 8 video inputs, including a switchable RGB input with built in scan converter. When using the RGB input the V-8 is effectively a 3 buss design, with 2-channel TBC/frame sync and for the first time on such an affordable EDIROL mixer the V-8 offers additive video mixing.

The V-8 also features improved ergonomics and additional physical controls to maintain its ease of use whilst still maintaining a robust and highly portable design.

The V-8 incorporates a number of new real-time video effects updating the original effect pallet of the V-4.

The V-8 also features V-LINK that enables real-time performance control and interfacing with other MIDI equipment for the ultimate in creative expression. With the same easy operation as the V-4 plus additional effects, the V-8 looks set to a new standard in affordable video mixing, offering unprecedented features at this price point.

The V-8 will be available in March 2008

The Edirol V-4 has been the standard mixer for years, leaving people desperately wanting a sequel. Korg tried with the KrossFour, but what they came up with was mainly a V-4 wannabe — a welcome DJ-style crossfader couldn't make up for the lack of differentiating features, and the V-4's elegant layout. And Edirol's own HD-resolution V-440HD wasn't priced for mortals.

The Edirol V-8 promises to change all of that.

First, Edirol has wisely copied the satisfying control layout of the V-4. Hate on the V-4 if you like, but I think we take for granted how cleanly-designed and intuitive that layout is. The V-4 isn't a perfect mixer by any means, but by encouraging mixing flow, and creating an affordable mixer that worked well for a broad audience, they did create a major hit.

What's great is that the V-8 adds what the V-4 lacked:

* Computer inputs: two "RGB" inputs with standard D-Sub 15-pin inputs (what most people call VGA jacks, even if that's not strictly correct); a switcher for selection
* More inputs all around: 7 composite ins, 4 S-Video jacks, for a total of 8 simultaneous input channels (i.e., you can use up to 4x composite and 4x S-Video simultaneously)  ... oh, yeah, and BNC jacks
* More outputs: 3 output channels, and monitors for inputs 1-7, channel B (monitoring either S-Video or RGB computer in), and the main preview output jack
* Independent, DJ-style vertical faders instead of those inconvenient V-4 knobs, plus better preset buttons — and an output fader, not a knob (finally!)
* Internal scan converter and time base correction

And this all comes with "DV-quality" video processing, 4:2:2 full-frame digital with 500 lines of resolution for processing, mixing, and output. That's perhaps not all that much in the computer age, but it'll do — especially if Edirol has kept the price down to Earth. Some of the new effects and transitions are fluffy, but there is a new feedback effect and, more importantly, horizontal flip. There's also improved support for V-LINK audio sync, but until there's wider implementation on the software side, I think the hardware features will be more significant.


The only really bad news: you can't mix two computer inputs, you can only switch between them. Still, this is a huge leap into the computer age for Edirol, and long overdue. Addendum: I figured this went without saying, but since CDM contributor vade points it out, the tradeoff — as with the V4 — is resolution for convenience and economy. So you get reliable, easy mixing, but you have to be willing to settle a bit in an age when computers are pumping out HD (and better) resolutions — we still haven't seen anything economical that can mix that in hardware, though there's always the option of adding a switcher so you can use more than one input, sans mixing.

PS: Edirol, thanks for making it black.

Availability: this month. That is, assuming it doesn't immediately sell out — which it probably will. Expect backlogs even worse than the V-4.

Pricing: not sure; trying to find out. Word from the show is GBP1099, though those of you here in the crippled-dollar US, I expect we'll get different pricing.

To Retail at £1,099.00. Just spoken to Phil and there's a lot of good features yet to be published. he assures me that the Scan Converter on board is good quality. More to follow no doubt.
