This professional Ultra HD broadcast monitor is designed for modern live production, broadcast and IP‑based workflows where absolute signal accuracy and connectivity flexibility are essential. It is the first model in its class to combine traditional 12G‑SDI inputs with native SMPTE‑2110 IP video support, allowing direct connection to both baseband and IP infrastructures without external converters. This makes it an ideal monitoring solution for facilities transitioning toward IP while still relying on established SDI equipment.

At the heart of the unit is a full‑resolution Ultra HD LCD panel that displays every pixel of a 3840 × 2160 signal with excellent clarity and colour fidelity. The display locks instantly to incoming sources and automatically detects SD, HD, 2K, Ultra HD and 4K formats up to 2160p60. Unlike consumer televisions, the image is never overscanned, ensuring all picture information is visible right to the edge of the screen. This behaviour is critical when monitoring routed signals that may change frequently during live operation.

Connectivity is exceptionally versatile. Two 12G‑SDI inputs support all SDI standards from standard definition through Ultra HD, with a reclocked loop‑through output that automatically follows the selected source. Native IP monitoring is handled via a 10 Gb Ethernet connection supporting uncompressed SMPTE‑2110 video, audio and ancillary data, as well as an SFP cage for optical IP or optical SDI signals. Precision timing is ensured through full PTP and ST 2059 compliance, making the unit suitable for tightly synchronised IP environments.

Monitoring tools are tailored for camera and technical evaluation. Built‑in features include focus peaking, zoom, H and V delay, blue‑only mode, safe area and framing guides. Integrated 3D LUT support allows creative looks, log‑to‑video conversion or custom HDR workflows to be previewed accurately on the display. All controls are accessed via front‑panel buttons positioned below the screen to keep the panel free of fingerprints.

The slim, machined aluminium chassis is both lightweight and extremely rigid, finished in deep black anodising to match professional rack installations. Its shallow depth improves airflow in equipment racks, while support for both AC mains and 12 V DC input allows flexible power options in studios, OB vehicles and fly‑away systems.
