SmartView: with Scopes
Broadcast Accurate Waveform Monitoring
The SmartScope Duo 4K model includes built in waveform monitoring when you need to analyze image quality more accurately than simply looking at the picture! You get seven of the most popular scopes most widely used in broadcast and post production facilities. Scope displays include waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade, YUV parade, histogram, audio phase and level scopes, and of course you can simply select to view the video itself! Now you don’t have to guess what your video and audio levels are, you can monitor them with precision using SmartScope Duo 4K!

Select Picture
SmartScope Duo 4K gives you the choice to select a scope display or regular video on each of the 8 inch LCD displays. You can even monitor video on one LCD while running a scope such as waveform, histogram or audio on the other screen. 

Audio View
Monitor your audio levels with 16 channels of audio metering for viewing every channel in the SDI video connection! The audio scope also includes a stereo phase meter that can be selected to different SDI audio pairs. The stereo phase meter plots left and right audio as an XY scope display so you know exactly what your audio is at all times. It’s easy to see audio problems such as clipping, and out of phase audio can be seen as a left or right leaning display. If you don’t get a vertical oriented waveform then you know your audio channel balance is out! No audio problem can hide from audio scope display!

Software Update
You can download software updates to your SmartView monitor to add new features in the future. You can also download new software to the SmartScope Duo 4K model so you can add new types of scopes as they become available.

When you need to analyze image quality more accurately than simply looking at the picture then use SmartScope Duo 4K’s built in waveform monitoring! You can view two independent sources simultaneously and conveniently switch between monitoring or scope views whenever you need! Choose from waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade, YUV parade, histogram and audio phase and level displays, and get broadcast accurate waveform monitoring that shows everything you need to know technically about your video and audio signals. SmartScope Duo 4K removes the need for separate expensive scopes!

Greater SDI Compatibility - SmartView supports SD, HD and 3G-SDI (2K) formats
SmartView has been designed for broadcast as well as post production and includes support for multiple SDI video standards, including SD, HD and 3G-SDI formats. They support new advanced video standards used in post production including 1080 progressive HD rates and even 2K over 3G-SDI. All video formats can be connected and changed at any time, because SmartView will automatically switch in less than a second to the new format!

Easy Adjustments
SmartView connects via ethernet and all monitors can be adjusted remotely from one location, making it easy to match monitors. The SmartView software utility for Mac OS X and Windows lets you make changes even with a laptop and copy settings from one monitor to another. The software includes an identify function so you can find the monitor you’re adjusting even when you're working with lots of monitors! Because the adjustments are electronic, monitor color is stable over time. You can easily add new software updates for new video formats and waveform displays via USB.

SmartView: Design
Compact Rack Design - Super slim form factor with 25mm installation depth
Modern broadcast trucks and studios have less space than ever before and space costs money. SmartView monitors are super thin and are less than an inch thick! This means that when you're building a wall of camera monitors, you only need rack depth of a few inches to minimize space inside broadcast trucks and other tight situations. SmartView also features a lightweight, aluminum design that's perfect when installed into mobile racks and fly away kits because it's not heavy to lift. The slim design is practical, but also provides a stylish look when combined with additional SmartView monitors and equipment.

LCD Screens and RGB Tally
SmartView and SmartScope monitors feature super clear LCD screens with tally so it’s the perfect solution for live broadcasts. Unlike a simple tally light, SmartView includes tally borders displayed in green, red or blue to signify preview, on air, or recording. This means during live production you will always know when you are recording or on-air, or you can see which camera is cued up on your switcher’s preview output. Tally is connected via an industry standard parallel pin connector on the rear panel so you get full compatibility with switchers or automation systems.

 
Reversible Design - Optimize viewing angle
SmartView monitors are designed to compensate because the LCDs can be easily rotated for the optimum viewing angle. The SmartView monitor will automatically sense the rotation angle of the screen and flip the image to the correct rotation. You can even remove the front panel and rotate it 180 degrees if required!

Central Ethernet Control
Now you can control all your monitors from a single location and make sure all your monitors match each other for a consistent look and an accurate display of the image. Simply connect SmartView to your Ethernet network and use the included Mac and Windows SmartView Utility software to adjust all your monitors. The SmartView Utility uses the common networking software, Bonjour, to automatically find all the monitors installed on your network and display them in a list for you to select. You can even plug direct into the monitor using USB to setup ethernet settings. You can save monitor settings, or copy settings from one monitor to another to make setup fast. When you’re working with lots of monitors, SmartView Utility even includes an identify mode to help you find the monitor you want to adjust! All adjustments are set digitally which means SmartView monitors won’t suffer from drift over time or during travel!

SmartView: Uses
Connecting to Decks and Servers
SmartView is ideal for use with broadcast decks or video servers, simply mount them in a rack and connect via SDI to see what the deck or server is playing or recording. With multiple servers all playing back at the same time, SmartView helps you keep track of what's going on and to ensure each server is working correctly. Many broadcast decks include video level adjustments and you often need to accurately set up these adjustments to ensure your video levels are correct. SmartScope Duo 4K is perfect for this situation because you can install it above the deck, set it to waveform and vector display, and then you can adjust deck outputs in the traditional way!

Connecting to Routers
The best solution for monitoring every device in your facility is to connect a SmartView HD and a SmartScope Duo 4K to one of the outputs of your router, and then switch various sources into the monitors to see any source you choose! SmartView HD will give you full resolution monitoring from all your sources and in any video standard you route in. SmartScope Duo 4K is the perfect companion to SmartView HD because it can be set up to show waveform and vector display, so you get a full HD monitor as well as full choice of scopes of your video signals. SmartScope Duo 4K can also be used on its own with one screen to monitor video input and the other for audio scope, pair this with Blackmagic Audio Monitor and keep track of not only video but also the audio levels in the SDI output of the router from any source.

Connecting to Live Production Switchers
SmartView monitors are the ideal choice for ATEM production switchers to monitor program, preview or multiview output. SmartScope Duo 4K is a perfect for program monitoring on a live production switchers where one of the screens can be audio scope, and the other set to waveform to monitor video levels. You can see at all times what your video and audio levels are, and be sure downstream program feeds won't have quality problems. If you're working with CCU's and adjusting camera color and balance on live production switchers, then simply loop the camera SDI feed via a SmartScope Duo 4K and you can set to RGB Parade and Vectorscope on each screen, so you can see your color balance and video levels as you adjust each camera!

Connecting to Cameras
SmartView HD and SmartView Duo make fantastic on set monitors and can easily be mounted in fly away kits for a total monitoring solution on set. An even better solution is to use SmartScope Duo 4K on set. You simply plug your camera into the SmartScope and you can then use Histogram and Picture view to see all your camera settings. SmartScope and SmartView monitors are so easy to install because they work with SDI connections and they switch video standards instantly between all SD and HD video formats including both progressive and interlaced modes. This means whatever format you are recording on your camera, you can monitor it!
