Perfect for post production, broadcast or live events, SmartView Duo features two
large 8 inch LCD screens in a compact rack mount design that´s less than an
inch thick! SmartVideo Duo handles all SD, HD and 3 Gb/s SDI video standards, and
all screens can be remotely adjusted via your ethernet network! Use SmartView Duo
in racks for local monitoring, for multi monitor video walls in master control rooms
or for camera monitoring for production switchers.
Broadcast and Post Production
In a busy facility you can never have enough monitors, and SmartView Duo is perfect
when you need monitoring for all your equipment. Install SmartView Duo into your
editing desks so you can keep track of decks and other video sources and create
an exciting "mission control" environment which will blow your clients´
minds! SmartView Duo is perfect for in-rack monitoring so you always know what´s
going on. Now with SmartView Duo, everyone can have that exciting "broadcast
experience" of monitoring wherever it´s needed!
Incredible Design
SmartView Duo features two fully independent 8 inch monitors for incredible monitoring.
Each monitor includes loop through SDI video, which instantly switches between any
SD, HD and 3 Gb/s SDI source, even 2K video over 3 Gb/s SDI! SmartView Duo includes
no mechanical controls so it won´t suffer from damage or settings drift. When
matching multiple screens in master control rooms, SmartView Duo includes loop though
Ethernet for remote adjustment, even from a laptop computer! If you need to mount
SmartView Duo in the extreme top or bottom of an equipment rack, SmartView Duo´s
LCDs can be rotated upside down for the optimum viewing angle! SmartView Duo will
automatically sense the rotation and flip both onscreen images! SmartView Duo even
includes a choice of red, green or blue tally inputs!
Integrated Tally
SmartView Duo includes full tally features so it´s the perfect companion for
live broadcasters. Unlike a simple tally light, SmartView Duo includes tally borders
that can be independently displayed in red, green or blue. Each screen features
an independent tally in the three colors so you can signal to the user more than
a simple on air status. Tally is connected via a standard parallel pin connector
on the rear of SmartView Duo so you get full compatibility with any switcher or
automation system.
Greater SDI Compatibility
SmartView Duo is designed to be used for broadcast as well as post production so
it includes support for more SDI video standards, including SD, HD and 3 Gb/s SDI
formats. SmartView Duo allows firmware updating so it´s easy to upgrade to
new SDI video formats when they are invented, and updates are free from the Blackmagic
Design web site. SmartView Duo includes new advanced video standards used in post
production including 1080 progressive HD rates and even 2K SDI over 3 Gb/s SDI video.
All video formats can be connected and changed, because SmartView Duo simply switches
in less than a second to the new format!
Smart Ethernet Control
There´s nothing more complicated than trying to match all your monitors by
climbing all over your equipment and using little screwdrivers! Simply connect your
SmartView Duo to your Ethernet network and use the included Mac and Windows software
to adjust all your monitors from one central location. The Monitor Utility software
uses Bonjour to automatically find all the SmartView Duo monitors on your network.
You can save monitor settings from one monitor and copy to another, and when you´re
working with lots of monitors, SmartView Duo even includes an identify mode to help
you find the monitor you´re adjusting! SmartView Duo won´t suffer from
drift because all adjustments are fully digital.
International Power Supply
If you´re traveling all over the world, SmartView Duo is perfect because it
includes a standard 12 volt power supply with socket adapters for each country.
Ideal for live location use where you don´t have engineering support, a standard
12 volt power socket means you can get spare power supplies from any electrical
store. To eliminate accidental unplugging of power cords during live production
or at other crucial times, SmartView Duo includes a cable tie down point so everything
is perfectly secure!
