Blackmagic Design MultiView 4

Monitor completely independent SDI video sources on HD or Ultra HD displays with the Blackmagic MultiView 4. Full frame re-synchronization on every input lets you monitor any SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats and frame rates all at once on one display. Multi view monitoring is a perfect solution in large control rooms, live multi camera production, and when there isn’t room for multiple monitors.

The MultiView 4 has four independent 6G-SDI independent inputs compatible with SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p30. Sources are displayed in a 2x2 grid. Ethernet remote control software gives you the ability to turn on audio meters, select audio to output, and create custom labels.

With MultiView 4, you can see all your video sources without connecting multiple monitors and dozens of cables. Simply plug your cameras, decks, switchers, and routers into the SDI connections.

Get 4 independent monitors in one with full-frame re-synchronization. Every input can take a different video standard and frame rate from referenced or non-referenced NTSC, PAL, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and Ultra HD up to 2160p30.

The MultiView 4 offers maximum compatibility with your existing equipment. Compatible with HD displays, SDI and HDMI outputs allow you to connect to televisions, video projectors, broadcast monitors, and more. SDI inputs detect and automatically re-sync SD and HD formats.

Advanced monitoring tools such as custom labels, audio meters, and tally indicators can be displayed with your video. Choose which audio source gets routed to the video output. Anamorphic support is provided in standard definition, letting you view 16 x 9 anamorphic video sources in widescreen.
