10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 50 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 50 days to 180 days (terms apply after 50 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Maximum connectivity

Nearly all modern cameras and digital video devices use HDMI, the most common AV connector on the planet. The V-8HD seamlessly mixes your eight HDMI sources with Full HD support, even when the sources have mismatched frame rates and color spaces. And with the built-in scalers on two of the HDMI inputs, you can easily interface with client-provided sources like computers, tablets, smartphones, gaming consoles, and legacy 4:3 devices.

The power of more

Creative professionals need more video inputs for layered graphics and visual effects, and business professionals often need multiple backup video sources. With a generous number of HDMI inputs and outputs, the V-8HD provides you with a vast amount of creative freedom without increasing the budget, resulting in greater audience engagement and satisfied clients.

Set up layers, effects, and keys

Video effects, layers, and graphics add polish and excitement to any production. With the V-8HD’s five composition layers, you’ll always keep audiences engaged with visually appealing content. Prepare the content according to client specifications and separate it into layers:

  • Layer 1 and 2 Start with one mixable live background video layer.
  • Layer 3 and 4 Place in two picture-in-picture layers or chroma/luminance key effects.
  • Layer 5 Add one downstream keyer layer.

    • Ultra-mobile, lightweight, and efficient

    The AV production table is the last thing on an event organizer’s mind. Thanks to its compact footprint, the V-8HD fits effortlessly into any live production environment, even when you have to deal with minimal setup space. And it only weighs around 4 lb./2 kg, making it easy to carry in a backpack or luggage. With its smart feature set, 8 HDMI inputs, builtin 18-channel audio mixer, and support for external battery power, the streamlined V-8HD is the most versatile and efficient HDMI switcher available.

    Seamless memory recall

    With the V-8HD, storing and recalling individual scenes is done by pressing a few buttons. The 8 present memories and powerful composition effects engine work together to provide you with completely seamless loading and switching of inputs and stored scenes.

    Record triggering and confirmation

    Many technical elements contribute to a successful recording. But forgetting to hit the record button means the difference between you getting paid for the job or not. Via HDMI, the V-8HD operator can trigger Atomos recorders to start and stop recording. And some camcorders even display a recording confirmation icon on the input channel of the V-8HD’s multiviewer screen, letting you keep an eye on the recording status while staying focused on other critical tasks

    Separate feeds for separate needs

    Presenter comfort monitors, live streams, and recording feeds often require different visual content from the main program output. The V-8HD has you covered, with assignment buttons for sending any of your connected input devices to a dedicated AUX output without affecting the main feed. It’s also possible to synchronize the AUX output with the program output, giving you a built-in 2x distribution amp

    Audio and effects

    A crystal-clear sound mix is essential for professional presentations. That’s easy to achieve with the V-8HD, which allows pros and beginners alike to quickly create engaging mixes that sound great. The studio-grade, 18-channel audio mixer blends signals from the eight HDMI inputs and stereo RCA inputs, while a feature-packed preset effects library provides setups for everyday production environments like meetings and interviews, plus challenging situations that require wind noise reduction and microphone de-essing.

    Built-in multi-viewer display

    The V-8HD’s bright, 4.3-inch multiviewer display means less gear to buy and haul to the gig. From a single screen, you can monitor all 8 video inputs, PGM, and PVW plus menu overlay. Input windows show camcorder recording status and embedded audio levels. Connect a larger external screen for an immense multiviewer experience, or to make menu changes without moving the focus from the action.

    Automated Video Switching

    The V-8HD makes your job easier with three technology assisted automatic switching modes. Input Scan switches input sources randomly or in sequence, while Preset Memory Scan switches between preset memories. Beats Per Minute (BPM) Sync is also available, automatically switching Preview and Program at a specified tempo.

    V-8HD iPad Remote Control Utility

    The dedicated V-8HD remote control app turns an iPad into an efficient touch interface for the V-8HD.
