Blackmagic MultiView 16

Ultra HD Multi Viewer for up to 16 independent SDI Video Sources

With 16 completely independent 6G-SDI inputs, Blackmagic MultiView 16 is perfect for larger installations where you need to monitor up to 16 SD, HD and Ultra HD sources at the same time. You get full front panel router style controls, along with an LCD screen and spin knob to adjust settings, route sources to different views, turn on overlays, and more. MultiView 16 can display sources in a 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 grid, or even in a SOLO view for full screen viewing of any single source.

High Resolution Monitoring

Blackmagic MultiView works with both HD as well as Ultra HD displays, so you get maximum compatibility with your existing HD equipment. That means you can use regular HD displays but you also have the choice to use an Ultra HD monitor for incredible sharpness. Ultra HD has four times the number of pixels of regular HD, so your video will look sharper and clearer than ever before. What this means is when displaying the 2x2 view on an Ultra HD monitor, each view is a full 1920 x 1080 HD resolution with no scaling. MultiView includes both 6G-SDI and HDMI outputs so you can connect to televisions, video projectors, broadcast monitors and more.

Advanced Monitoring Tools

Blackmagic MultiViews feature advanced monitoring tools that can be displayed with your video. You get custom labels, audio meters, tally indicators and more. You can also choose which audio source is routed to the video output. The on screen source labels have a subtle, elegant design and resize proportionally based on the selected layout. In addition, you get anamorphic support in standard definition so you can view 16 x 9 anamorphic video sources in widescreen.

Studio or Live Use

Multi view monitoring is perfect for massive control rooms with lots of incoming feeds, for live multi camera production or for use on location and in tight spaces that don’t have room for multiple monitors. With Blackmagic MultiViews you don’t need to connect multiple monitors, dozens of cables or run extra power to see all of your video sources. Simply plug your cameras, decks, switchers and routers into the SDI connections to see everything with amazing clarity and detail on a single HD or Ultra HD monitor.

Multi Rate 6G-SDI Connections

All Blackmagic MultiView models feature multi rate 6G-SDI inputs with full frame re-synchronization and separate loop through outputs, making it compatible with your existing equipment. The SDI inputs automatically detect and re-sync’s SD, HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p30. You also get HDMI 2.0 and 6G-SDI for both HD and Ultra HD output. MultiView 16 also includes a reference input connection and blackburst/tri-level sync for studio installations.
