Simultaneous Monitoring, Uncompromised Quality
Take full command of your complex video workflows with the Blackmagic Design MultiView 16, the ultimate solution for professional multi-source monitoring. Designed for broadcast studios, outside broadcast (OB) vans, and live production environments, this powerful tool eliminates the need for dozens of individual monitors. Instead, you can simultaneously view up to 16 different SD, HD, and 4K video sources on a single Ultra HD television or broadcast monitor. This allows you to leverage the stunning resolution of modern displays to see every source with four times the clarity of a standard multi-viewer, ensuring every pixel is perfectly sharp.
The MultiView 16 is engineered for maximum flexibility and reliability. Each of its sixteen 10-bit 6G-SDI inputs is fully re-synchronized, allowing you to connect any combination of video standards and frame rates and receive a clean, glitch-free output. Choose from 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 grid layouts to suit your monitoring needs. When you need to focus on a single feed for critical checks, the 'SOLO' button instantly brings any source to a full-screen view. For live broadcast integration, built-in tally support works seamlessly with ATEM switchers, displaying red and green borders on your views for on-air and preview signals.
Housed in a rugged, 1RU machined aluminum chassis, the MultiView 16 is built to withstand the demands of any professional setting. Control is intuitive, with illuminated front-panel buttons, a spin knob, and a bright 1.5” LCD screen for on-the-fly adjustments. For deeper integration, it can be controlled remotely via the included software over Ethernet. The unit features a built-in multi-voltage power supply for global compatibility, ensuring it's ready for any production, anywhere in the world.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
