Blackmagic SmartView 4K G3
The Blackmagic Design SmartView 4K G3, the pioneering Ultra HD broadcast monitor featuring both 12G-SDI and SMPTE-2110 IP video inputs. This versatile monitor allows seamless integration with IP-based broadcast systems and a wide range of 12G-SDI professional video equipment, supporting resolutions up to 2160p60, ideal for broadcast and live production. Additionally, it offers advanced monitoring controls such as 3D LUTs, focus peaking, framing guides, safe area, and more.
The SmartView 4K G3 boasts built-in optical and copper SMPTE-2110 IP video connections alongside two 12G-SDI inputs, all of which can be outputted to a 12G-SDI loop output connection. Crafted from machined aluminum metal, its sleek design is only a few inches deep, optimizing ventilation in equipment racks. The tilted button controls along the bottom facilitate easy operation, while the VESA mounting point on the rear offers flexible installation options.
Featuring an LCD with exceptional resolution, the SmartView 4K G3 delivers crystal-clear images with deep color fidelity, ensuring every pixel in an Ultra HD image is displayed accurately. Designed for broadcast environments, it swiftly locks to new video sources without overscanning, providing precise image reproduction up to the edge of the LCD.
The front panel is equipped with a wide array of monitoring controls, including input selection, display brightness adjustment, and traditional broadcast functions like H/V display and blue-only mode. On-screen graphic overlays assist with framing and focus, with features such as safe area and title markers, frame guides, and focus peaking accessible via dedicated buttons.
Support for 3D LUTs enables color space remapping for SDI or 2110 IP input sources, ensuring accurate color representation. Fully compliant with the SMPTE-2110 standard, the SmartView 4K G3 facilitates modern IP video systems with both optical fiber and copper 10G Ethernet connections, supporting uncompressed video, high frame rate Ultra HD, traffic shaping/timing, audio, and ancillary data. Additionally, NMOS interface specifications enable seamless operation of 2110 IP video devices, with support for routing via Videohub Smart Control acting as an NMOS controller.
