Yamaha Corporation came into being on October 1, 1987 after its predecessor Nippon Gakki Company Limited changed its official name. That change marked the anniversary of the day that Torakusu Yamaha (April 20 1851 – August 8 1916) established his business, prompted by his repair of a reed organ. Our trademark, “Yamaha” has its origins in the name of our founder.

Introducing the Roland VR-3 – a fully integrated audio mixer, video switcher for live production and web streaming. This unique product combines the power of Roland’s audio and video technology into one unit and expands the growing lineup of AV Mixers and streaming-ready solutions from Roland.
Typical live events today, whether large or small, all require a wide variety of equipment in order to produce. There are audio inputs from mics, audio mixer, video sources to a video mixer, computer inputs, video preview monitors, capturing the event in some form, and also streaming it live online. Like the popular Roland VR-5, the VR-3’s “all-in-one” design greatly simplifies production and streaming of live events. The VR-3’s innovative design incorporates a video switcher, audio mixer, preview monitors and streaming-ready USB output all in a single unit. As a USB Video/Audio class device, web streaming is effortless by simply connecting to a computer running a live streaming service such as USTREAM , Livestream, Stickam, Justin.tv, worshipstream.com, websharelive.com, etc. The reduction in hardware equipment, setup time and connection complexity ensures a worry-free, easy to use solution for any event.
The VR-3 is extremely portable weighing less than five pounds. It can be powered by the provided power supply or by external battery options like Sanyo’s Pedal Juice®. Its intuitive touch screen interface provides an easy way to switch video sources as well as an efficient way to access menus. This portable live production solution is ideal for schools, churches, council meetings, corporate events, sports, memorial services, or production live to web.

About House Of Marley
Bob’s ideals and principles centered around one thing, love. And now we’re turning his principles into products. Three guiding ideas help us follow through on what he started. Superior Quality – We believe in making our products right. Bob was a master at his craft and we’re aiming for the same peak of excellence in everything we make. We’re music lovers, too. So we’ve poured our hearts into each detail so the music we love is heard like it was intended to be heard. Eco-Friendly – Our goal is to create high-quality eco-friendly products in the most environmentally positive way. That means not cutting corners and creating products that are sustainable, renewable and recyclable. Each of our products are packaged in recycled and recyclable material so it avoids the waste stream and can manifest into something useful again. Cause-Minded – Get up, stand up. We all have to stand for something. It’s not in us to be complacent. Bob was active in his beliefs and so are we. That’s why we’ve formed an association with 1Love, an organization that puts Bob Marley’s beliefs into action. For every product you purchase, a portion of your money goes to 1Love causes that focus on charities that benefit youth, planet and peace.
The House Of Marley Range can be found at Planet Gizmo.
