The features overview says "Tally support with ATEM switchers via optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel". Is this correct? It would seem bizarre that you'd need an optional front panel for this. I'd assume that, with the multi viewer and switcher on the same network, you'd use the BMD software to configure tally, yes?
Asked by: Patrick
You can configure the tally setting using the optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel or when connecting the Multiview 4 over USB to a computer running the Multiview Setup software.

How can this device be used to add additional switchable inputs to the black magic design TV studio HD? I assume it has something to do with the video hub protocol.
Asked by: Jason
You could connect 4 video inputs and use the multiview out as a source and use it in solo mode. That way you could switch the solo source input and end up with 4 more switchable inputs to your other device.
