Monitor Up to Four SD and HD Sources on a Single Display
In the fast-paced world of live production, broadcast, and AV, managing multiple video feeds can be a complex and costly challenge. Juggling various monitors clutters your workspace and can lead to critical moments being missed. The Blackmagic Design MultiView 4 HD is the elegant and remarkably affordable solution, engineered to streamline your workflow by allowing you to monitor up to four different SDI video sources on a single display, in pristine quality.
Imagine decluttering your control room or mobile production unit, replacing four separate screens with one high-resolution monitor. The MultiView 4 HD makes this a reality. Each of the four inputs functions as a completely independent video monitor, displaying its source in a clean 2x2 grid. But its true power lies in its flexibility. Thanks to full frame re-synchronization on every input, you can connect a mix of video standards and frame rates simultaneously. Combine a 1080p60 camera feed, a 720p59.94 replay source, a PAL graphics generator, and an NTSC deck, all on the same screen, without worrying about synchronization issues or requiring expensive external converters. The MultiView 4 HD handles it all seamlessly.
Beyond simple viewing, this powerful device provides essential professional tools to ensure the quality of your broadcast. You can enable on-screen overlays for each view, including custom labels to instantly identify sources and audio meters to prevent clipping or dead air. This level of insight is crucial for avoiding on-air errors and maintaining professional standards. With support for all SD and HD formats up to 1080p60, including both Level A and B devices, it integrates effortlessly into any existing SDI infrastructure.
Connectivity is simple and versatile. The MultiView 4 HD features four multi-rate 3G-SDI inputs, a 3G-SDI output, and an HDMI output. This dual-output design means you can send the multi-view feed to a professional broadcast monitor and a low-cost, big-screen consumer television at the same time—perfect for creating affordable, high-impact video walls or monitoring stations. Housed in a compact, rugged metal frame, the Blackmagic MultiView 4 HD is built for the rigors of any environment, from a fixed installation to a portable flypack. It’s the essential, cost-effective tool for any serious video professional looking to gain better control over their production.
