Using SmartView 4K
Introducing Blackmagic SmartView 4K
SmartView 4K is a 6 rack unit Ultra HD 12G-SDI broadcast monitor for displaying SD, HD and
native viewing of up to 2160p60 Ultra HD video. With a bright display and a wide viewing angle,
SmartView 4K provides a vibrant, crystal clear picture for accurate focus and color monitoring,
and supports virtually every video format.
Designed for studio and outside broadcast environments, SmartView 4K is incredibly easy to
use. Featuring side mounted connectors and VESA support, you can fit the unit into tight
spaces, or mounted on a wall or articulated arm. SmartView 4K can be operated using the built
in control panel, or remotely via Ethernet if you don't have access to the front panel.
Two multi rate 12G-SDI inputs let you select between two SDI sources, plus a SMPTE
compatible SFP module socket so you can add an optical fiber SDI module and connect your
video via optical fiber! A 12G-SDI output is provided so you can feed your video to other
equipment, plus two Ethernet connectors for networking, remote control and loop output for
daisy chaining to other monitors. Other connectors include a tally input for live production,
and a USB port for internal software updates.
You can even load industry standard 3D LUTs with .cube extension or DaVinci Resolve
generated LUTs using the Blackmagic SmartView setup software! With 3D LUTs you can
connect your SmartView 4K directly to your camera and view your clips as close to the final
grade as possible. Two levels of focus peaking let you make sure your shots are in perfect
focus, and with support for AC and DC power you have the option to plug SmartView 4K into
mains power, or an external battery for portability on set.
SmartView 4K is the perfect monitoring solution for portable and studio broadcast production
displaying video in SD, HD, and Ultra HD in its native 3840x2160 pixel resolution.
NOTE
If connecting external power via the DC power input, ensure your external
power output is capable of supplying 24 watts at 12 volts.
