Professional Ultra HD Broadcast Monitoring with IP and SDI
The Blackmagic Design SmartView 4K G3 represents the next generation of professional rack-mount monitoring, meticulously engineered for the demands of modern broadcast, live production, and post-production environments. It provides an all-in-one solution, combining a stunning, high-resolution Ultra HD display with future-proof connectivity, making it the ultimate monitor for any control room or broadcast van. With both SMPTE-2110 IP and traditional 12G-SDI inputs, the SmartView 4K G3 bridges the gap between legacy and next-generation systems, ensuring seamless integration into any workflow. This versatility allows you to connect directly to IP-based broadcast routers and switches or use the dual 12G-SDI inputs for cameras, switchers, and decks, with a loop output for downstream equipment.
Beyond its exceptional connectivity, the SmartView 4K G3 is built for critical image evaluation. The bright, sharp Ultra HD panel displays every pixel in native resolution, while essential monitoring tools give you complete confidence in your signal. Activate focus peaking to instantly verify critical sharpness, use frame guides for precise composition, and apply custom 3D LUTs to preview looks or ensure color consistency across your entire production chain. These professional tools are easily accessible via the intuitive front panel controls, which are tilted for ergonomic access when mounted high in a rack.
The physical design is as intelligent as its internal technology. Forged from a single block of machined aluminum, the SmartView 4K G3 is incredibly strong yet remarkably slim. This thin profile is a critical advantage in crowded equipment racks; by being only a few inches deep, it leaves ample space behind the unit for improved airflow, helping to keep all your vital equipment cool and running reliably. The robust chassis also includes a standard VESA mounting point on the rear, offering flexible installation options beyond the rack. For facilities building custom broadcast automation, a free SDK is included, empowering developers to deeply integrate the monitor’s functions into larger systems.
