Designed for high‑end broadcast, live production and master control environments, this professional multi‑viewer provides a powerful and elegant way to monitor large numbers of SDI sources on a single display. It enables simultaneous viewing of up to sixteen independent video feeds, dramatically reducing the need for multiple monitors while maintaining full broadcast accuracy. The rugged all‑metal chassis is engineered for continuous 24/7 operation and integrates seamlessly into studio racks, OB trucks and transmission facilities. 
Sixteen multi‑rate 6G‑SDI inputs are provided, each featuring full frame re‑synchronisation. This ensures that any mix of SD, HD and Ultra HD sources can be displayed together without timing conflicts, even when frame rates and formats differ. Signals are automatically detected and processed independently, allowing complete flexibility in complex multi‑format environments. Support for reference input using Black Burst and Tri‑Sync ensures precise timing alignment in critical broadcast systems. 
Multi‑view output is available via both SDI and HDMI. The unit can drive standard 1080 HD monitors as well as 2160p Ultra HD displays. When connected to an Ultra HD screen, each quadrant delivers full 1920 × 1080 resolution per view, providing exceptional sharpness and detail across all monitored sources. Layouts can be configured to display a single source, four, nine or all sixteen views simultaneously, offering flexible monitoring options depending on operational needs. 
Operational control is built directly into the front panel, featuring sixteen illuminated source buttons, dedicated navigation controls and a clear colour display for menu access. This allows fast, intuitive routing and layout changes without external controllers. On‑screen audio meters and custom labels can be enabled per window, giving immediate visual feedback and clear source identification during live production. Settings are stored internally and restored automatically after power cycling, ensuring consistent behaviour at all times. 
For larger facilities, remote control and integration are supported via the Blackmagic Videohub software, compatible with macOS and Windows systems. Support for Blackmagic Smart Control and Master Control hardware panels allows seamless integration into existing routing workflows. Configuration and firmware updates can be performed via USB or Ethernet, ensuring easy maintenance and long‑term reliability.
