Blackmagic Design SmartScope Duo 4K: Professional Dual-Screen Broadcast Monitoring
Elevate your studio and on-location production workflow with the Blackmagic Design SmartScope Duo 4K. This versatile rack-mounted solution integrates two independent 8-inch LCD screens into a slim, 3RU chassis, providing simultaneous, broadcast-quality monitoring for any SD, HD, or Ultra HD video source. With a stunning resolution of up to 3840 x 2160, you can pull critical focus and analyze image quality with absolute clarity. The SmartScope Duo 4K is engineered for the fast-paced production environment, featuring auto-sensing 6G-SDI inputs that instantly adapt to your video format, eliminating guesswork and saving valuable time on set or in the control room.
Beyond simple video display, the SmartScope Duo 4K is a powerful technical analysis tool. At the touch of a button, either monitor can switch from a live video feed to one of six professional scopes. Ensure perfect exposure with the Waveform and Histogram displays, guarantee color accuracy and broadcast-legal levels with the Vectorscope and RGB Parade, and monitor up to 16 channels of SDI audio with detailed level and phase meters. This comprehensive suite of scopes empowers you to make precise, data-driven adjustments on the fly. Control is streamlined and centralized; after a simple one-time setup via USB, all monitor settings, including brightness, color, and scope selection, can be adjusted remotely over your network using the free Blackmagic SmartView utility for Mac and Windows. Its ultra-slim design, less than two inches deep, makes it the perfect fit for cramped equipment racks and outside broadcast vans. The unit even features an intelligent auto-rotating display and integrated Tally support, making the SmartScope Duo 4K the definitive, all-in-one monitoring solution that brings technical precision and broadcast-level confidence to any professional rack.
