MV-1200 Series Modular

3 RU High-density/High-performance Multiviewer System

The MV-1200 Series Modular Multiviewer is a fully-featured broadcast-quality modular multiviewer in 3 RU format with up to 144x12G-SDI inputs via HD-BNC. All image processing, rear interface and control cards are modular and hot-swappable. The configuration is flexible from a minimum of 16 inputs up to a maximum of 144.

For 2K FHD operation, up to 16 independent head outputs are supported at 3G-SDI FHD50/59/60 resolution. For 4K UHD operation, up to four independent outputs are supported with QL-4x3G-SDI outputs at UHD50/59/60 4:2:2 resolution.

FEATURES

  • Up to 16 independent head outputs are supported at 3G-SDI FHD50/59/60 resolution
  • Up to 4 independent outputs are supported with QL-4x3G-SDI outputs at UHD50/59/60 4:2:2 resolution
  • Each multiviewer output card provides 8x3G-SDI outputs and up to 2 cards can be fitted to provide a total of 16 outputs
  • Sources can be displayed on any output screen with arbitrary size and location
  • Sources may be duplicated in the same resolution without consuming additional scaler resources
  • Every input is constantly monitored for signal presence. Source status is simultaneously written to a logfile and displayed on the front panel

  • Power supplies with IEC inlets are hot-swappable and power sharing to reduce wear. Intelligent power supply modules are continuously logged for status, temperature and efficiency
  • Temperature-controlled fans reduce noise and increase lifespan
  • Optimized airflow allows the use of quiet, low-speed fans — ideal for OB trucks/vans
  • Remote control over Ethernet via an integrated HTML5 browser
  • Local control and source status via color LCD touchscreen
