Blackmagic Design Announces SmartView HD

IBC 2011, Amsterdam, The Netherlands - September 9, 2011 - Blackmagic Design today announced SmartView HD, a new full resolution HD rack monitor with a large 17 inch LCD screen, 3 Gb/s SDI video inputs and centralized network based control to allow easy color matching when used in multi monitor installations.

SmartView HD features a large 17 inch LCD screen in a compact 6 rack unit design that's less than an inch thick. SmartView HD handles SD, HD and 3 Gb/s SDI video standards, and all screens can be remotely adjusted via your Ethernet network, so setup is much simpler when users need to color match all the monitors in a large video wall setup. SmartView HD can be installed into equipment racks for local monitoring in post production, for multi-monitor video walls in master control rooms or for camera monitoring for production switchers! Because SmartView HD is affordable, and supports SDI video standards in SD, HD and even 2K, it’s the perfect solution to install anywhere customers need more monitoring.
