Blackmagic MultiView 16 is the world's first multi viewer that operates natively in Ultra HD, which allows you to use an Ultra HD monitor or television for twice the image sharpness,
even if you are not even using Ultra HD in your facility yet! Now you can connect up to 16 different SD, HD and Ultra HD SDI sources into one display for monitoring! Blackmagic MultiView 16 allows 4,
9 or 16 views to be selected and each input includes a full frame re-synchronizer so you can have any combination of SD, HD and Ultra HD SDI sources connected, all at the same time! |
Incredibly Sharp Monitoring View up to 16 sources on a single screen!
With the availability of Ultra HD consumer televisions, now it's
possible to use the extra resolution these displays have to build incredibly sharp multi view monitoring at low cost. Imagine having big screen televisions in your facility with high resolution
monitoring of each view! That's twice the resolution of a normal multi view! Blackmagic MultiView 16 is incredibly flexible as it allows you to choose from 2x2 layout for 4 sources, 3x3 layout for
9 sources and 4x4 layout for 16 simultaneous sources, all from the front panel. Each of the inputs can be any combination of SD, HD and Ultra HD, all at the same time so it's just like having 16
independent broadcast monitors on the single display! |

Studio or Live Use! Multi source monitoring designed for broadcasters
Multi view monitoring is ideal whether you're building a massive
control room with lots of incoming feeds or are working on location in tight spaces that don't have room for multiple monitors. Blackmagic MultiView 16 can be used for live production, on set, in
control rooms, post facilities and more! With Blackmagic MultiView 16 you don't need to connect multiple monitors, dozens of cables or run extra power to see all of your video sources! Simply plug your
cameras, decks, switchers, routers and feeds into the SDI connections and you can see everything with amazing clarity and detail on a single Ultra HD monitor! |

Use HD or Ultra HD Monitors Works with an Ultra HD monitor so you get twice the sharpness
MultiView 16 works with both regular HD as well as the latest Ultra
HD displays, so you get maximum compatibility with your existing HD equipment but have the choice to use an Ultra HD monitor for incredible sharpness. That's four times the number of pixels in
each view so your video will look sharper and clearer than ever before possible. Using an Ultra HD monitor means you get an incredible 1920 x 1080 full resolution HD in each view when running
2x2 for 4 views. Even if you're running 4x4 for 16 views, each view will still display an amazing 960 x 540 pixels! You get both 6G-SDI and HDMI outputs so you can connect direct to televisions, video
projectors and broadcast monitors. |

Elegant Design Easy to use, interactive design for real time use! Featuring a compact, machined metal single rack unit design,
MultiView 16 is incredibly easy to use because it has dedicated buttons on the front panel for quickly selecting any source into any of the views. Once selected, video can be routed to any
position on the grid at the push of a button or you can simply use the spin knob control so it works just like a video router. Use the SOLO button for instant full screen monitoring of any source at any
time! MultiView 16 also features a built in multi voltage AC power supply and professional broadcast 6G-SDI input connections with loop through so it integrates easily into any facility. |

6G-SDI Multi Rate SDI Connections Supports any combination of SD, HD and Ultra HD video sources
MultiView 16 includes sixteen multi rate 6G-SDI inputs with
separate loop thru that are compatible with all of your existing SD, HD and Ultra HD equipment. It does not matter what video standard each input connection is running as each input view will
act as an independent video monitor, so you can even have up to 16 different video standards connected all at the same time! All inputs feature automatic re-sync so you can even mix and match non
referenced SD, HD, and Ultra HD sources! The reference input is included if you want to connect the Blackmagic MultiView 16 to other studio equipment. |

External "Router" Control Supports Videohub router protocol for easy external control!
MultiView 16 includes Ethernet which emulates a Blackmagic Videohub
router protocol so you get full compatibility with all of the external Videohub software and hardware control panels for routing any of the inputs onto any of the monitoring views. Blackmagic
MultiView 16 can also be controlled via the included software utility on Mac or Windows computers so that you can quickly change settings remotely if access to the front panel is restricted! You
can even add on screen labels and other settings remotely! |
