Blackmagic Design MultiView 16 Reviews

4K Output is super sharp

By Martin
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2021-10-19

I've used this unit for years. It's been excellent. The output to my 4K monitors is super sharp. It handles any broadcast signal without any issues. I have many mixed signals, frame rates, and resolutions coming it and it has not issue displaying any of them.

Great product

I would buy this product again. 16 inputs into one monitor, made it very nice to shade cameras and watch our record levels all on the same monitor.

See any errors on this page?

question

Does this multi-viewer support tally?
Asked by: Anonymous
At NAB BMD said that a future firmware upgrade will add audio meters and tally. They were working on new products and so didn't finish this product. Now that NAB is over they can go back and work on this upgrade. Nice!

Is it possible to connect dynamic IMD? Is there tally signalisation over ethernet or rs422/485 ?
Asked by: Anonymous
As this is a new product we are unable to perform connection tests for Dynamic range. The RS 422 connection is for configuring layouts.

question

What is processing delay ?
Asked by: Anonymous
Exact delay parameters are not easily available, but Blackmagic Design multiview systems normally have a +1 frame delay and possibly up to a total of 2+ when non-locked sources are viewed.
