Blackmagic Design SmartView 4K 2

The Blackmagic Design SmartView 4K 2 is a professional Ultra HD broadcast monitor with a native resolution of 3840 x 2160, an amazingly bright 15.6" LCD screen with a wide viewing angle, and advanced broadcast features such as 3D LUTs, adjustable on-screen markers, H/V delay, blue only and more. SmartView 4K features multi-rate 12G-SDI inputs that automatically switch between SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60. With 12G-SDI, SmartView 4K is an incredible future-proof design with unprecedented full resolution Ultra HD high frame rate support all built into the attractive thin rack mount design.

When monitoring SD, 720 HD, or 1080 HD SDI sources, the built-in Teranex processor uses advanced patented and proprietary PixelMotion algorithms to automatically de-interlace and scale video to the native Ultra HD resolution of the LCD. This means customers get visually transparent, artifact-free scaling for the best quality possible and a fluid smooth viewing experience.

Buil-In Features
The 6 rack unit size machined metal design of SmartView 4K features a built-in control panel for access to advanced broadcast features such as built-in 3D LUTs, H/V delay, blue only for checking hue and image noise, and customizable frame markers. The machined metal design also has a metal internal chassis allowing VESA mounting points on the rear so the monitor can be rack-mounted, or mounted on articulated arms similar to computer monitors. This allows installation in newsrooms, walls, and other non-rack mount locations.

With the advent of SDI video in the mid-1990s, some features on analog broadcast monitors were lost. One of these features was the H/V delay that allowed broadcast engineers to view data and signals in horizontal and vertical blanking. With SmartView 4K, customers get these features retuned and with the H/V delay feature, customers can shift the image to monitor data and information in the SDI blanking, such as embedded audio data, subtitles, VITC, and more.

Advanced Connections
Blackmagic SmartView 4K 2 includes both universal AC power as well as 12V DC power inputs so it can be used with a battery or plugged into standard AC mains power, making it the perfect professional monitor for any broadcast facility, mobile broadcast truck, or even on location and in fly away kits. There is also an SMPTE compatible optical fiber SDI socket for allowing customers to optionally add an optical fiber SDI module if they want to run optical fiber direct to their monitor without converters. Optional optical fiber is important with the high speeds of 12G-SDI where customers might feel more comfortable about the reliability of optical fiber.

Ethernet Remote Control
Blackmagic SmartView 4K can be controlled from the front panel or remotely via a rear-mounted Ethernet connection with loop output using the included Mac and Windows software. It also supports VESA mounting so customers can install it on articulated monitor arms, on walls, or in equipment racks. When used on set, the dual 3D LUTs can be selected on and off with the push of a button, and the DC power input allows a V-Lock battery pack to be mounted on the rear of the monitor and plugged into the DC input for a long-running time where no AC power is available.
