Blackmagic Design MultiView 4 HD Reviews

Solid piece of gear!

By Richard
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-05-12

What can I say - it's not sexy, or cutting edge. It simply does exactly what it's supposed to do, quietly, efficiently. I love the locking power connector and using dip switches to select options instead of having to access a menu using a computer. It appears to be reliable (I haven't had it for very long) and the price is certainly a positive factor!

So far, so good

I use this on Multicam shoots. Great to have all the angles on one monitor. I haven't fooled with the dipswitches yet, but it seems like it has quite a bit of function that will help make it fit your needs.

From my research the answer is a no, but can it take 2 inputs and flip the monitor vertically to fill the screens? Meaning, if I use only 2 camera inputs and use the monitor like iPad, can it show 2 inputs top and bottom with maximizing screen real estate?

Unfortunately no, the multiview layout is a 2x2 grid and is not alterable.

MultiView 4 HD can be used with Blackmagic's Videohub Control Software that allows for audio input source selection with sources that have embedded audio; the multiview will display the audios metering.

It outputs HDMI but no SDI. Am I missing something in the manual? This is replacement. Wondering if no more Blackmagic.
Asked by: Tom
Incompatibility with the SDI output on the Blackmagic Design MultiView 4 HD with SDI capable monitors can either be incompatible resolution and frame rates, SDI level, or the port is defective. Please try to use the Blackmagic MultiView application with a USB connection on computers to set up. The application can be seen on the left side of the support page after clicking on the link below: https://bhpho.to/3qHsEvT
