SmartView 4K features an incredibly strong machined aluminum metal design with crisp clean lines. Plus SmartView 4K is only a few inches deep. Because monitors are often installed at the top of equipment racks, this thin design allows a large area behind the monitor to better ventilate the whole rack and keep all the equipment cool. Along the bottom of the SmartView 4K is a range of button controls that are tilted slightly so they're easier to press. On the rear of the monitor are all the video connections, plus there's even a VESA mounting point.
The LCD used on SmartView 4K features an extremely high resolution so it will display every pixel in an Ultra HD image. That means customers get an incredibly clean image with deep color fidelity. SmartView 4K is designed for broadcast so it will instantly lock to a new video source, which is very common when the monitor is connected to a router and the input can change constantly to different timed sources. Unlike TVs, the video is not over scanned so customers get all image pixels right to the edge of the LCD.
The SmartView 4K front panel includes a wide range of monitoring controls! The input button selects between the two 12G-SDI video inputs and the 2110 IP video input. The display button allows customers to adjust display brightness. The H/V display is a traditional broadcast monitor function that lets customers look into the image blanking. Blue only is great for checking hue from SD archive content. The zoom button lets customers zoom the image in for adjusting camera focus.
Broadcasters and feature film productions often work with SDI sources that are encoded with log film gamma or an HDR profile. This means the images can look washed out or have incorrect colors. SmartView 4K solves this problem because it includes support for 3D LUTs. This means customers can use a 3D LUT to re-map the SDI or 2110 input colorspace to the SmartView 4K screen.
Now customers can build modern IP video systems because SmartView 4K fully conforms to the SMPTE-2110 standard for IP video with both optical fiber and copper 10G Ethernet connections. This includes support for SMPTE-2110-20 uncompressed video, the Blackmagic IP codec for high frame rate Ultra HD as well as SMPTE-2110-21 traffic shaping/timing, SMPTE-2110-30 audio and SMPTE-2110-40 support for ancillary data.
