Blackmagic Design SmartScope Duo 4K - Monitoring headband
Blackmagic Design SmartScope Duo 4K SDI monitoring
The Blackmagic Design SmartScope Duo 4K is one of the SmartView monitors that are ideal for high-quality SDI monitoring! Slim and lightweight, they're ideal for use on set and on the move. What's more, they automatically switch between all SD, HD and 3G-SDI video formats. There are 3 models: SmartView HD incorporates a large 17″ screen, SmartView Duo has two independent 8″ screens, and SmartScope Duo 4K allows waveform monitoring on one of its 8" screens!
Perfect SDI monitoring
SmartView monitors are the tools of choice for SDI monitoring in all circumstances. You can use them for broadcast and post-production monitoring, but also for monitoring on set, in portable workstations, in OB vans and more. When working with live production mixers, you can set up a video wall in the control room to view all your sources. Mount several SmartView models on a rack for a monitoring solution displaying your images and the scopes of your choice side by side!
Choose your monitor!
Monitor wherever you like
Choose from 3 different SmartView models! SmartView HD features a large 17″ LCD screen for Full HD monitoring in 1920 x 1080 resolution. So you can see every pixel of the image. SmartView Duo features two 8″ LCD screens, mounted on a 3U rack and less than an inch thick. SmartScope Duo 4K is identical to SmartScope Duo, but features independent waveform monitoring so you can choose between waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade, YUV parade, histogram and audio phase level displays. As each screen is independent, any combination of scopes or images can be displayed!
Incomparable monitoring
SmartView monitors are ideal for high-end broadcast monitoring, as they incorporate excellent quality processing and scaling to preserve every detail of the image. Their all-digital design and high-quality SDI inputs guarantee color accuracy that facilitates work on multiple screens. SmartView models include an Ethernet port so you can connect them to your network and control your monitors from a single computer using SmartView software. SmartView also incorporates a tally light, compatible with many mixers and automation systems.
Precise waveform monitoring!
When you need to analyze image quality precisely, SmartScope Duo 4K lets you perform professional waveform control. You can view two independent sources simultaneously, and easily switch between monitoring and scopes as required! Choose a display from Waveform, Vectorscope, RGB Parade, YUV Parade, Histogram and Audio Phase modes for precise waveform monitoring that lets you visualize all the technical information of your video and audio signals. SmartScope Duo 4K eliminates the need for expensive external scopes!
Ultra-slim design
SmartView monitors feature an elegant front panel designed to allow multiple SmartView HD, SmartView Duo and SmartScope Duo 4K models to be installed side by side for spectacular effect! Lightweight and ultra-thin, SmartView is ideal for OB vans and portable workstations! You can also mount your SmartView at the top or bottom of a rack, as it can be installed upside down for optimum viewing angles.
Greater compatibility with SDI
Supports SD, HD and 3G-SDI formats.
SmartView has been designed for broadcast and post-production. It offers support for a wide range of video standards, including SD, HD and 3G-SDI formats. SmartView is also compatible with new video standards used in post-production, such as 1080 progressive HD and 2K via 3G-SDI. All video formats can be connected and changed at any time, as SmartView automatically switches to the new format in less than a second!
Easy-to-adjust parameters
SmartView connects via Ethernet, and all monitors can be adjusted remotely from a central location, facilitating harmonization. SmartView software, compatible with Mac OS X and Windows, lets you make any necessary changes using a laptop, copying settings from one monitor to another. The software includes an identification function that allows you to find the monitor you need to adjust, even when you're using more than one. Since changes are made electronically, monitor color remains stable. You can easily update the software to support new video formats and waveform displays via USB.
