This dual screen monitoring system is designed for professional environments where both precise image evaluation and advanced signal analysis are essential. Unlike simple picture‑only monitors, this model integrates a complete suite of broadcast scopes directly into each of its two eight inch displays. The unit maintains the compact three rack unit form factor of its sibling models, yet extends its capability by offering fully independent waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade, YUV parade, histogram and audio phase monitoring on either screen. This flexibility allows operators to analyse two separate video feeds at once or to pair a picture view with a technical scope, making it highly suited to complex production and engineering workflows.
Each display supports automatic switching between SD, HD and 6G SDI, detecting formats without user intervention. This ensures compatibility across a wide range of broadcast standards, from standard definition formats to high frame rate progressive HD signals, and extending into 2K DCI progressive and PsF modes. Video sampling at both 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 guarantees accurate colour fidelity and clean signal representation, which is particularly important when calibrating cameras, checking broadcast levels or aligning digital film workflows. Reclocked loop‑through output maintains signal integrity downstream, allowing the unit to sit cleanly in routing chains or multi monitor installations without introducing timing or quality issues.
Remote control over Ethernet allows centralized management of multiple units throughout a facility. Technicians can adjust scope modes, calibrate displays and configure operational settings from a single workstation, ensuring consistency across large control rooms or mobile broadcast rigs. The included SmartView Utility software handles configuration and firmware updates through either Ethernet or USB connections, making maintenance straightforward even during tight production schedules. Integrated tally support via a nine pin connector provides clear on air indication, enabling seamless use within live studios or fast turnaround environments.
The two TFT displays each feature a resolution of 800 by 480 pixels, with fast response time, strong colour reproduction and the ability to rotate for optimum viewing angles. Low power consumption and a universal twelve volt supply with international adapters make it practical for global deployment in flyaway kits, broadcast trucks or OB vans. By combining advanced broadcast analysis, flexible format support and a compact dual screen layout, this monitoring solution offers the precision and efficiency needed for modern multi format production environments.
