They may have gotten their start in control rooms along with production switchers, but have evolved helping engineers check signal distribution paths from their routers and are now being used as a high-quality multi-signal live preview and recording device. With the ability to display multiple video sources on a single display monitor, multiviewers have changed the way production and broadcast control rooms are designed and implemented. Audio Monitoring OutputĪudio from any channel can be monitored via HD-SDI, HDMI, or analog audio output.Multiviewers have become a necessity in today’s AV industry. If not used as a clock display, this feature can be used as a count up/down timer, or remaining time counter. Two clocks can be displayed, in analog or digital format.

(Video is saved as still-image sequence files.) Front Control Panel Simply enter triggers to prepare for image capture. Take streaming a step further by capturing the video. The streaming video can be used for additional local computer display or for remote monitoring. In addition to computer-based layout management, you can also stream video from the viewer over Ethernet. Saved layouts can be applied directly from the front panel control. Store up to 16 layout patterns on the viewer. Customize the layout on a computer by registering or changing layout patterns, adjusting title display, and configuring other settings as needed.
