the Blackmagic Design SmartScope Duo 4K Rack-Mounted Dual 6G-SDI Displays is an observation option for Studio and location productions, displaying footage with definitions up to 3840 x 2160 at 30p. It contains two 8" displays each with a loop-through SDI source and output. The sources are auto-sensing/selecting so you don't deliver to worry about matching the source format; the display will screen any supported configuration that you feed it. You can choose to choose to display either the source footage or one of six scope displays, whereas the source video passes via the display to downstreamed devices.
You use the USB connector to initialize the display on your installation; after that you can control the displays through the supplied applications via the Ethernet connector. This enables you to refine the displays' brightness and colour as well as choose the monitors display setting - footage or scope see. The SmartScope Duo 4K additionally incorporates a Tally screen around the border of the picture, which works with industry conventional Tally systems. The device takes up three rack height units, but is less than two inches deep (comprising the connector separation), which makes it clearly suited for use in workflow trucks where room is at a premium. The device additionally automatically flips the picture if you requirement to install the device upside down.

Monitors SD/HD/3G/6G-SDI Signals: Guide

The SmartScope Duo 4K enables you to display SD, HD, 2K, and UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) footage. The sources are auto-sensing/routing to match the supported source video format. Each monitor provides one 6G source and one reclocked loop-through 6G feed.

video signal or Scope View


You can choose from either the video output or one of six scope views of the footage signal:
  • Waveform: Displays the luminance component of the video signal on an IRE scale.
  • Vectorscope: Allows you to accurately measure colors in the video signal, and is a valuable tool when matching cameras, or when you need to align the hue on the output of decks.
  • Parade: You can choose to display either RGB or YUV Parade. RGB Parade lets you check for illegal colors, plotting them against an IRE Scale. The YUV Parade display shows the YUV component video as it is transmitted down the SDI cable.
  • Audio Views: allows you to monitor 16 channels of audio, checking the levels and the audio phase. You can monitor the levels of all 16 channels at the same time, or monitor the stereo phase of SDI audio pairs. The stereo phase meter plots left and right audio as an XY scope display, and out of phase audio can be seen as either a left or right leaning display.
  • Histogram: The Histogram view lets you see where the pixels are in your video, and how they are distributed from black to white. You can see where the overall exposure is, and if you are exposing the brighter areas of your image with enough detail.

Software operation

The monitor integrates an Ethernet in and an Ethernet output port, and you set up the unit through the USB 2.0 port. After that, you use the supplied free control utility with either a Mac or Windows PC via the Ethernet link to choose your views and make any adjustments to the display for luminance and color.

Tally: Guide

Each monitor accommodates the Tally function with distinct colour-coded borders indicating the Tally condition: preview, on air, and capture. The tally connector is compatible with switchers and automation systems.

Reversible: Guide

SmartView displays may be installed in the extreme top or bottom of hardware racks. The SmartView display will without manual intervention sense the rotation angle of the display and flip the picture to the correct rotation. You can even remove the front interface and rotate it 180 degrees if needed.
