Heya folks 
Anyone has experience with HD-SD mixers? Or could recommend a tryout?
Currently using an modified mx10 ( vactrols on faders/joy for audioreactivity + common mods). But since my signal flow is moving on to more digital stuff atm, mixing HD inside modular is messy and expensive + lacking of only two hands. I’m looking for an mixer with SD & HD cross capabilities
I know I kind of need to ban independent audioreactivity to pure modular then, but yes it’s time to move on I guess.
Specifically observing the Roland v40HD at the moment. More like a switcher but…
- Input/output perfect
- no effects beside keyer
- quite massive
- Used prices ok
Or an Roland V-4Ex
- effect section
- internal processing at 576p
- only has one >576p HDMI input
- Size
- used still expensive
Are there actually other newer “arty” video mixers like the v4ex?
Anyone has good or bad experiences, Other units in mind?
Big minus on newer stuff imo is the missing of joystick wipe pattern control like in the Panasonic MX series…
Usage:
Depends on using crt or new displays switching between mx10 composite with ESG3 PALsync or ESG3 component as main output, but as mentioned trying to find an solution to integrate SD/HD in the mixing end or completely move to digital 
(with knobs)
Setup is mostly:
Input from
Component - modularLZX
Composite - modular / external gear/cam
HDMI - external gear
Output to
Composite - CRT
HDMI/component - displays / grabbing
Also never used newer mixers with pure HD feedback, im curious about that.
HDMI color processor with knobs would be super handy here, suggestions?
Kind of scared of the first gig without the mx10 cause it’s a stable companion since years, super reliable unit and easy to get clean feedback processing as a base component with it 
I’m in PAL area 
Thankful for tips, hints & traps to avoid,
