Blackmagic Design MultiView 4 HD

Monitor completely independent SDI video sources on HD or Ultra HD displays with the Blackmagic MultiView 4 HD. 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.

This low cost multi viewer lets you simultaneously monitor four different SDI video sources on one display. Each view is completely independent with overlays such as custom labels, audio meters, and more. Those overlays can be turned on and off separately for each view. Monitor signals even at different frame rates with full frame re-synchronization on each input.

Multi rate 3G-SDI connections are compatible with SD, HD, and formats up to 1080p60. 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs are also available, so you can work with traditional SDI displays or low cost big screen TVs.

With MultiView 4 HD, 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.</p.

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, and 1080p.

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.
