Blackmagic Design MultiView 4: Professional 4-Source Monitoring in Ultra HD
Streamline your production workflow and eliminate monitor clutter with the Blackmagic Design MultiView 4. This professional multi-viewer is the ultimate solution for viewing up to four independent SDI video sources on a single screen. Engineered for pristine image quality and rock-solid reliability, it’s the perfect monitoring hub for broadcast studios, outside broadcast (OB) vans, and portable on-location setups.
The true power of the MultiView 4 is unlocked when paired with an Ultra HD monitor or television. By leveraging the immense resolution of a 4K display, you can view four separate 1920 x 1080 HD sources simultaneously, with each quadrant showing the full, native resolution of its input. This means you see every detail with incredible clarity, eliminating the downscaling and softness common with standard multi-viewers. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to pixel-perfect monitoring for focus and quality control.
Built for the dynamic world of production, the MultiView 4 handles mismatched formats with ease. Its four 10-bit 6G-SDI inputs automatically detect and support any combination of SD, HD, and 4K signals up to Ultra HD 30p. Crucially, each input is fully re-synchronized, guaranteeing a perfectly stable and glitch-free multi-view output, even when your sources aren't genlocked. In addition to the main HDMI and 6G-SDI multi-view outputs, each input includes a dedicated loop output, allowing you to pass original signals onward to other equipment like switchers or recorders without needing extra distribution amplifiers.
Housed in a rugged, 1 RU machined aluminum chassis, the MultiView 4 is designed to withstand the rigors of professional use. Integration is seamless thanks to flexible control and power options. Use the included software over Ethernet for easy configuration, or add an optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel for tactile, front-panel control and tally support from ATEM switchers. Power the unit via a standard wall outlet with its built-in 90-240V power supply, or deploy it in complex setups using 48V Power over Ethernet (PoE+), simplifying your cabling infrastructure. Please note, a standard IEC power cable is required and not included.
