Is it easy to remove the SWIT FM-215HDR from its flight case and when you do, will it have a handle at the top and feet on the bottom so that it can stand up?
Asked by: Adam
The SWIT 21.5" Quad-Link 4K Production Monitor case includes a handle and feet, so the display will stand on its own. The LCD panel should be easy to remove from the case, but it is not necessary. It should be rack-mounted, and you would need to remove the mounting screws to remove it from the case.

do you know if the inputs can be duplicated ? to fill out the quad view if you only have 2x-3x cameras (as in Smallhd monitors)
Asked by: Alex
No, the SWIT 21.5" 1000nits 12G-SDI HDR QD-LED Field Monitor does not support the duplication of input signals. However, you could achieve a duplicated spit layout using the SWIT 21.5" 1000nits 12G-SDI HDR QD-LED Field Monitor and a 1x4 SDI signal spitter, such as the BZBGEAR 12G-SDI 1x4 Splitter/Distribution Amplifier (BH #BZGDA12GS1X4).
