SmartView 4K G3 - 15.6" ultra HD broadcast monitor with both 12G-SDI and SMPTE-2110 IP video inputs, 3D LUTs and monitoring controls such as focus peaking, H/V delay, blue only and framing guides, AC and 12 V DC power connections
15.6" ultra HD broadcast monitor with both 12G-SDI and SMPTE-2110 IP video inputs, 3D LUTs and monitoring controls such as focus peaking, H/V delay, blue only and framing guides, AC and 12 V DC power connections
High quality 15.6" Ultra HD TFT rack mount LCD monitor, designed for broadcast, live production and to create lightweight and durable portable workstations.
In addition to a pair of 12G-SDI inputs up to 2160p 60, it integrates SMPTE-2110 fiber optic and copper IP video connections to connect directly to IP systems for broadcast. In addition, it is compatible with NMOS interface specifications, so all IP 2110 devices can operate together as one large virtual video matrix.
The front panel of SmartView 4K includes a wide range of monitoring controls located below the display: from the input button to choose between the two 12G-SDI or 2110 video inputs for IP, to the one to adjust the brightness of the display. Being designed for broadcast, SmartView 4K instantly synchronizes to the new video source, which is of great importance when the monitor is connected to a matrix switcher and the input is constantly changing between multiple sources. Unlike televisions, the video is not cropped and shows every last pixel of the display surface.
To adjust the camera focus, there is a zoom button and a peaking button that highlights the sharpest details of the image.
Additional features include framing guides, integrated 3D LUTs for creative looks and custom HDR profile management, and support for Blackmagic's SDI tally protocol, where a border lights up around the image, red when the camera is on air and green for preview.
To change settings or update the SmartView 4K software, simply download the free system utility from the Blackmagic Design website. The software is available for Mac and Windows computers, which connect to Smartview 4K via USB or Ethernet, if enabled.
The elegant and robust design in black anodized metal makes it suitable for rack installation; the depth of only a few centimeters allows excellent ventilation for natural convection cooling. The power supply is 220 VAC or 12 VDC.
