MultiViewer

The MultiViewer allows you to view multiple video sources from a single output BNC. Video inputs or outputs on the switcher, including Program, Preview, and Media​-Store channels, can be assigned to any box on the MultiViewer.

Both I/O MultiViewer and Video Processor MultiViewer are supported by the switcher. These MultiViewers differ in the video sources they have access to.

  • I/O MultiViewer — all input BNCs and output BNCs 5-12 (5-14 in a Rotation (ROT) switcher mode).
  • Video Processor MultiViewer — all input BNCs and all video bus outputs, source overlay, and used for ViewControl
Tip: The I/O MultiViewer can show you what is assigned to a specific output BNCs where the Video Processor MultiViewer can show you what is selected on a specific bus. For example, the Video Processor MultiViewer can show you what is selected on ME 1 key 2, where the I/O MultiViewer can show you the video that is being fed out of BNC 6.

A time-clock can be added as an overlay to the MultiViewer showing either system time or time code.

Keep the following in mind:

Keep the following in mind when working with a MultiViewer:

  • I/O MultiViewer outputs are assigned to output BNCs 1-2.
  • Video Processor MultiViewer outputs are assigned to output BNCs 3-4.
  • Only the Video Processor MultiViewer can be used for ViewControl.
  • You cannot view output BNCs 13-14 on the I/O MultiViewer in SD or HD mode, unless you are in a Rotation (ROT) switcher mode.
  • Only the Video Processor MultiViewers (BNCs 3-4) can have audio from the mixer assigned to them.
  • The layout is configured independently for each MultiViewer.
  • Inputs are displayed with a red tally box when they are on-air. A green tally box is displayed when the input is selected on the Preset bus.
  • When the switcher is operating in a standard-definition video format, the MultiViewer is shown in high-definition.
  • All ancillary data is stripped from the MultiViewer outputs.
