Scene and Audio Control Integration For Superior Video Productions - Yamaha DM3 Series And Roland V-80HD Bring Sound And Video Operation Closer Together
Hamamatsu Japan, June 5, 2025, Yamaha has announced a new collaboration with Roland Corporation, allowing seamless integration between Yamaha’s DM3 series compact digital audio mixing consoles and Roland’s V-80HD direct streaming video switcher.
High quality sound and vision are equally important for live streamed and location video productions. The compact Yamaha DM3 series is the perfect solution for delivering the best sound, thanks to its exceptional audio quality, pro-level features, fast setup and straightforward operation. Meanwhile, the Roland V-80HD is a portable, easy to set up video switcher, with flexible I/O features including 3G-SDI, HDMI, USB 3.0 and LAN (RTMP/SRT) connections, plus integrated control for PTZ cameras and remote operation with video monitoring via dedicated control apps.
The new integration allows the Roland V-80HD to recall the Yamaha DM3 console’s scene memory and the DM3 to control the fader levels and mute buttons of the V-80HD’s audio mixer. Together, these features make streaming production faster and easier, consolidating high quality audio and visuals in one compact system which is easily controlled by one operator.
The integration is straightforward to set up, simply by connecting the DM3 to the V-80HD with an Ethernet cable, setting the DM3’s IP address on the V-80HD and switching on Yamaha Mixer Control. For scene control, the user assigns the DM3’s scene to the V-80HD’s assignable pad. For audio level and mute control, the DM3’s channel is assigned to the audio channel of the V-80HD.
“We are thrilled to announce this collaboration with Yamaha,” says Kohei Hattori, General Manager, Roland Live Production Business Department. “Control integration of the popular V-80HD and highly valued DM3 will help elevate production quality and operator efficiency.”
"We are pleased to announce this new collaboration with Roland, which significantly enhances the workflow for live and streamed content, where high quality sound and video are equally important," says Thomas Hemery, Senior General Manager, Yamaha Professional Solutions division. “The integration between the DM3 series and V-80HD video switcher delivers efficient, straightforward operation for one operator, making superior streaming productions very accessible.”
The new integration between the DM3 series and V-80HD will be on demonstration at InfoComm 2025, which takes place at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida, from June 11 to 13, 2025. Yamaha is exhibiting on Booth 4260.
