Blackmagic Design - Blackmagic MultiView 4

Blackmagic Design MultiView 4 is a multiviewer that lets you monitor four completely independent SDI video sources on a single display!

It lets you monitor any combination of SD, HD and Ultra HD video formats and frame rates all at the same time with four fully re-synchronized 6G-SDI inputs. You can connect it to both standard HD and Ultra HD monitors thanks to its ability to output both 1080p HD and 2160p Ultra HD, so you can take advantage of the extra resolution of Ultra HD and see full 1920 x 1080 HD resolution in each view for incredible clarity.

You can also enable audio meter overlays, custom labels and more in each view!
