Using Blackmagic MultiView 16 Setup
13
Changing the Multi View Layout
Similar to the ‘layout’ settings on Blackmagic MultiView 16’s control panel LCD menu, you can also
change the layout using Blackmagic MultiView Setup. Choose the layout setting you wish to use by
clicking on the desired layout icon in the ‘details’ settings.
Setting the Multi View Video Format
Set your Ultra HD multi view output frame rate by clicking the 2160p29.97 or 2160p25 radio buttons
in the ‘details’ settings.
HD Output Setting
This setting lets you set your Blackmagic MultiView 16’s HD-SDI output to interlaced or progressive
HD. This gives you maximum compatibility with SDI monitors and equipment.
The frame rate will conform to the ‘video format’ setting. For example, if 2160p29.97 is selected, the
HD output can be either 1080p29.97 or 1080i59.94 depending on whether you have chosen progressive
or interlaced. Similarly, when 2160p25 is selected, the HD output can be either 1080p25 or 1080i50.
SD Aspect
If 4:3 SD video is connected to your Blackmagic MultiView 16, check the ‘set to 4:3’ checkbox. This
ensures your 4:3 video displays using the correct aspect ratio.
If 16:9 SD video is connected, check the ‘set to 16:9’ checkbox to display the image correctly in its view.
Overlay
The ‘border’, ‘labels’, ‘audio meters’ and ‘tally’ overlay settings are also available in the front control
panel LCD menu. Check the checkboxes in the ‘overlay’ settings to enable each feature.
Overlay features are:
Borders: Lets you separate each view in a grid like pattern.
Labels: Makes 'view' labels visible or hidden. Labels can be changed using Blackmagic
MultiView Setup.
Audio Meters: Turns audio VU meters on or off for all the views. The first 2 channels
embedded in each SDI signal are displayed in each view, which means you can monitor
audio levels together with the picture.
The overlay settings in the ‘configure’ tab lets you turn overlay
features on or off such as borders, ‘view’ labels, audio meters
and SDI tally borders.
In the ‘configure’ tab you can change the ‘details’ settings
such as the layout of your multi view output, the Ultra HD
multi view video format, set the HD multi view to interlaced or
progressive, plus change the SD aspect ratio between 4:3 and
16:9 so your SD video source displays correctly.
