Multiviewers Multiviewers
Flexible, customizable layouts are available that offer attractive, informative, and legible multiviewer display matrices. Multiple video monitor outputs allow all input channels to a single display, or many layouts offering windows divided among several displays.
Featuring an easy to use GUI-based layout tool, the multiviewer allows setup using a PC that communicates with the multiviewer over a standard LAN connection instead of proprietary buses or unfamiliar setup tools. Powerful yet intuitive graphics controls provide for sophisticated, attractive presentations. PC software is only required for set-up, not day to day operations.
Base models feature a practical SDI-based layout with 16-channel embedded audio support and HDMI/DVI monitor outputs, although option packages provide 3G SMPTE 425 input support and multiple AES and analog audio inputs (4 per SDI input channel).
Base Models
