Introducing Blackmagic Design SmartView 4K 2
The Blackmagic Design SmartView 4K 2 is a 15.6" professional TFT LCD monitor with a native resolution of 3840 x 2160, featuring two 12G-SDI multi-rate inputs. The inputs automatically switch between SD, HD and 4K formats, including DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) at 60 fps. A SMPTE-compatible fiber optic socket lets you add a separate module for the fiber SDI input.
The SmartView 4K 2's machined metal frame features integrated control buttons for access to advanced broadcast functions such as 3D LUT, H/V delay, blue channel only and customizable image markers. Imaging tools include histogram, vectorscope and waveform functions. The chassis is rack-mountable (6 RU) and also features VESA mounting holes for installation on articulated arms.
When monitoring SD, 720p or 1080p SDI sources, the integrated Teranex processor uses Blackmagic's PixelMotion algorithms to automatically de-interlace and resize video up to 4K UHD format. This gives users optimum image quality, even when working with lower-resolution images. In addition to front panel buttons, the monitor can be remotely controlled via the rear Ethernet connection using downloadable Mac or Windows software, ideal for hard-to-reach setups. With both mains and 12 VDC inputs, the SmartView 4K is ideal for use in the studio or on set.
