Blackmagicdesign MultiView Series User Manual

Blackmagic MultiView 4 and MultiView 16 has loop outputs above each input so you can also
connect each source to other video equipment.
Setting your Multi View Layout
The multi view layout can be changed to suit your needs. For example, Blackmagic MultiView 4
and Blackmagic MultiView 4 HD can be set to 2x2 or solo. Blackmagic MultiView 16 can be set
to a combination of views such as 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 or solo.
Setting your layout on Blackmagic MultiView 16
To change the layout on Blackmagic MultiView 16, use the control buttons, rotary knob and LCD
on the built in control panel. You can also monitor any view in full screen mode by pressing the
‘solo’ button, then selecting your chosen input by pressing one of the source buttons.
1 Press the ‘menu’ button on the front control panel to open the settings screen
on the LCD.
2 Layout is the first setting in the menu, so it is always highlighted when you first enter
the settings menu. Press the ‘set’ button to edit the setting.
TIP On Blackmagic MultiView 16 you can output the multi view via dedicated HD-SDI
outputs, or up to Ultra HD via the 6G-SDI and HDMI outputs.
