SmartView Duo is a versatile monitor for broadcast and post-production, supporting SD, HD, and 3 Gb/s SDI formats. Free firmware updates from Blackmagic Design keep it current with new video standards. It also handles advanced post-production formats like 1080p HD and 2K over 3 Gb/s SDI, offering quick switching between video formats.

Affordable SDI Monitoring

SmartView Duo offers affordable SDI monitoring with two 8-inch LCD screens in a slim, rack-mount design. Supporting SD, HD, and 3 Gb/s SDI formats, it’s ideal for post-production, broadcast, or live events. The screens can be remotely adjusted via Ethernet, making it perfect for local monitoring, video walls, or camera monitoring in production.

Perfect for Live Production

SmartView Duo is ideal for building compact video walls to monitor live production switcher sources. Its thin design makes it perfect for portable setups, displaying video on large 8-inch LCD screens for clear camera focus and quality. Lightweight and space-saving, it’s great for outside broadcast vans or portable racks, reducing shipping costs for flyaway kits.

Monitor Everywhere

SDI monitoring can be expensive, making it difficult to monitor all devices in racks or control rooms. SmartView Duo solves this with two 8-inch displays in a compact 3U rack unit. It features full SDI loop-through, Ethernet for setup, and easy-to-use software for remote adjustments on Mac and Windows. Perfect for remotely color matching video walls, SmartView Duo also includes tally support.

Smart Ethernet Control

Connect SmartView Duo to your Ethernet network and use the included Mac and Windows software to adjust all monitors from one central location.

Greater SDI Compatibility

SmartView Duo supports SD, HD, and 3 Gb/s SDI formats for both broadcast and post-production. It also offers free firmware updates from Blackmagic Design, making it easy to upgrade to new SDI video formats.

Broadcast and Post Production

SmartView Duo is ideal for busy facilities, providing essential monitoring for all your equipment. Install it at editing desks or in racks to track decks and video sources, creating a dynamic "mission control" environment.

Incredible Design

SmartView Duo features two independent 8-inch monitors with SDI loop-through for seamless switching between SD, HD, and 3 Gb/s SDI sources, including 2K video.
