The Roland SI-80S allows VS digital studio owners to easily sync their workstations to video devices like consumer video cameras, video decks and video editors that include LANC/Control L connections. This simple device eliminates the need for expensive or complex hardware when syncing VS audio to video.

The SI-80S converts the LANC/Control L protocol found on a wide range of consumer and "prosumer" video equipment, including video cameras, video decks and video editors, to MIDI Time Code (MTC). This allows the audio from Roland VS recording products and the other MTC-compatible gear to sync precisely to video--perfect for applications ranging from home videos to commercial spots. With the "V-Xpanded" VS-880's onboard effects automation, effects like reverb, delay, etc. can be sync'd to video as well.

The SI-80S supports NTSC, DF/NDF and PAL video formats, and includes an Auto-Setup button which makes instant audio-video communication easy.
