The Grass Valley MV-1216 / MV-1232 Standalone Multiviewers are 1 RU high-performance broadcast-quality multiviewer systems designed for professional video and audio monitoring. These units offer a comprehensive set of features for displaying and managing multiple video and audio sources on various outputs.
Function Description:
The MV-1216 and MV-1232 are standalone multiviewers that allow users to monitor multiple video and audio signals simultaneously on one or more display screens. They are equipped with SDI inputs as standard, with an option for 12G SDI inputs, catering to both 2K FHD and 4K UHD operations. The system supports up to 4 independent outputs for 2K FHD and up to 2 independent outputs for 4K UHD, with simultaneous SDI and HDMI outputs. Users can arrange sources on any output screen with arbitrary size and location, and sources can be duplicated without consuming additional scaler resources. The multiviewers feature a web browser user interface for comprehensive configuration and control, alongside a local color touch screen LCD for status display and basic control. Remote control panels are also available for enhanced operational flexibility.
