With the UVC-01, it’s never been easier to add high-quality livestreaming capabilities to your Roland V-series video switcher or favorite HDMI-equipped camera or camcorder.

Just connect to the UVC-01 via HDMI, plug into your computer’s USB 3.0 port, and start streaming to Facebook Live, YouTube, and other popular platforms. Offering plug-and-play operation in a rugged, pocket-size design, the UVC-01 is ready for action everywhere you go.

Quality You Can Count On

Backed by more than two decades of professional A/V product development, Roland’s UVC-01 drives your livestream with uncompressed 1080p HD image quality, ultra-smooth 60 FPS motion, and low-latency encoding. And thanks to its hardware-based design, it just works every time you need it—efficiently, consistently, and reliably.

Plug In and Stream

Once connected, the UVC-01 automatically shows up as a source in your streaming software, with no drivers or fussy setup required. Like a dedicated webcam, it encodes HDMI to USB video class and USB audio class formats, letting you instantly stream at superspeed USB 3.0 with any service, platform, or application that accepts a webcam as its A/V source.

A Sound Solution

With the UVC-01, stereo audio is embedded in the HDMI feed along with video. And thanks to the dedicated audio input, it’s possible to blend a secondary sound source as well. For example, you can play bumper music from your smartphone, or use Roland’s GO-MIXER Pro to combine a mic and instruments for impactful musical performances.

Reach More People

By delivering your message to in-person and online audiences at the same time, you can achieve a wider reach with minimal extra effort. Using a Roland professional video switcher in tandem with a UVC-01, it’s simple to create these hybrid productions. Just connect the UVC-01 to the second output of your switcher and simultaneously broadcast live action to your preferred streaming platform.

Capture and Distribute

In some situations, you may want to record a presentation ahead of time and distribute it online after the fact. With the free Roland Live Recorder (Windows) and Video Capture for VR (Mac) applications, you can capture high-quality video and audio through the UVC-01 in real time, ready for upload to video sharing sites.
