Introducing SmartView and SmartScope
SmartView monitors are perfect for any facility which requires rack-based monitoring. To simply
get up and running, the only thing you need to do is plug in power and connect an SDI source!
SmartView 4K has a 15.6" 4K LCD so you can monitor SD, HD, or Ultra HD video in its native
3840x2160 pixel resolution. The front control panel buttons mean you can easily select inputs,
adjust the screen brightness, check for noise in the blue channel, view blanking information,
apply 3D LUTs and more.
SmartView HD has a 17" HD LCD which is perfect for confidence monitoring in full
resolution HD.
SmartView Duo has two monitors for simultaneous display of different video signals.
For example, one monitor can display a YUV 4:2:2 signal while the other receives RGB 4:4:4.
One monitor could be showing NTSC while the other shows PAL. There are many possible
combinations but it is all as simple as connecting a single SDI cable to each monitor!
SmartScope Duo 4K has all the same features as SmartView Duo plus can be used to display
waveform, vectorscope and other popular scopes for monitoring video and audio levels in real
time. Plus, you get full support for Ultra HD 4K!
All SDI input connections on SmartView and SmartScope monitors support auto detection of
SD, HD or 3G-SDI including 2K video. SmartView 4K also detects Ultra HD including formats
such as 2160p60 via 12G-SDI. SmartScope Duo 4K includes auto detection of Ultra HD 4K
video via 6G-SDI.
If you want to remotely adjust settings for multiple SmartView and SmartScope units from one
computer, you can connect them together via Ethernet. This means you won't have to run
around to each unit with a computer and USB cable each time you want to adjust settings.
That's all you need to get started! Please read on for more detailed instructions on connecting
SmartView and SmartScope, configuring monitor settings in Blackmagic SmartView setup, and
connecting to a network.
