Blackmagic SmartView Duo 2

The Blackmagic SmartView Duo 2 features two large, independent 8-inch LCD screens housed in a compact 3RU rackmount chassis. Designed for broadcast, post-production, and live event monitoring, this versatile unit handles SD, HD, and 3G-SDI video standards with ease. At less than an inch thick, it is the perfect solution for space-constrained environments where professional monitoring is essential.

Professional SDI Monitoring Everywhere

Whether you are working in a studio or on location, the SmartView Duo 2 provides clear, accurate monitoring. It automatically detects and switches between 2K, HD, and standard definition inputs. Each screen includes a reclocked loop-through output, ensuring signal integrity across your entire video chain.

Centralized Ethernet Control

Forget manual adjustments on every individual unit. The SmartView Duo 2 connects to your local network via Ethernet, allowing you to adjust all screens remotely from a single computer using the SmartView Utility software. This makes it simple to match color and brightness across multiple monitors in a large installation.

Smart Design for Modern Racks

The displays can be rotated upside down, allowing you to mount the unit at the top or bottom of a rack while maintaining the perfect viewing angle. Integrated tally lights make it an essential tool for live production environments, providing clear status indicators for your talent and crew.
