4K I/O, up to 68 inputs and 8 monitor outputs. Now with HDMI 2.0b output support, the MV-4200 series can be used in monitoring environments that will be displaying 4K Ultra HD TV. MV-4200/MV-4210 2RU multi viewers accept up to 68 inputs of mixed 3G/HD/SD-SDI, composite, HDMI, DVI or RGBHV inputs and provide up to 8 independent monitor outputs. For both SDI and HDMI 2.0 outputs, choose the MV-4200. If only SDI output is needed, choose the MV-4210. Some of the many new features for a more versatile environment include HDMI 2.0b output, mixed 2K/4K output, HD to 4K up-resizing and logo display in title areas.
Up to 68 channels of input with optional cards
Combine optional input cards, MV-4200SDI (3G/HD/SD-SDI, Composite x20), MV-4200PCI (DVI-I/HDMI/RGBHV x8) or the MV-4200IF interface card (GPIO, serial control, input of analog audio, AES audio, genlock), as needed.
MV-4210 SDI output model
Up to 8 channels of SDI video output.
View up to 8 monitors with different layouts
Up to 114 windows over 8 output displays
Up to 8 clocks per 8 output displays
Up to 8 logos and 1 background per 8 output displays

Layout Manager
Windows-based screen layout creation and management software. Customize layouts using the software to adjust image size, position, title display and other settings. Store up to 68 layout patterns on the multi viewer. Saved layouts can be recalled directly from the front panel control.
Video Streaming
In addition to computer-based layout management, video can be streamed from the multi viewer over Ethernet. Streamed video can be viewed locally via Ethernet, using a computer display as a secondary monitor. Remote monitoring is also supported.
Record Streamed Video
Take streaming a step further by capturing the video. Frames before and after errors or specified triggers are captured and can be saved to a Windows computer as still-image sequence files.
Versatile Mixed-Source Environment
Supports mixed signals including: 3G-SDI (Level-A/B), HD-SDI, SD-SDI, Composite, HDMI, DVI or RGBHV sources. Asynchronous input is also supported. The multi viewer accepts an array of formats and frame rates including NTSC, PAL, 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i and 30/29.97/25/24/23.98p or PsF. (No frame rate conversion).
HD Output of Source Signals
Up to 8 channels of monitoring output, with 4 HDMI and 4 HD-SDI interfaces.
Audio Level
Monitor up to 16 channels of audio levels in each 3G/HD/SD-SDI or HDMI signal. Use Layout Manager to customize display positions, number of channels and display groups.
Audio Monitoring Output
Audio from any channel can be monitored via 3G/HD-SDI, HDMI or analog audio output.
Prominent Error Display
Errors can be displayed using flashing borders, error icon or error messages identifying the relevant frame. Error triggers include: Video loss, frozen frames, incorrect luminance/black levels, CRC errors, HDCP errors, audio loss, silence and excessive audio levels.
Tally/Title/Timecode
Tally: Frame tally and marker tally display
Titles: Identify each source channel with a title. Supports display of alphanumeric characters, symbols and Korean characters (up to 16 letters), which can be displayed within or outside the picture. The multi viewer can convert and save the characters typed on a computer as a logo in bitmap format for later use on the viewer screen
Timecode: Ancillary Timecode in 3G/HD/SD-SDI signals can be displayed
Time of day, Timer and Information Display
The multi viewers support clock time synchronization with SNTP servers. Up to 8 clocks can be displayed in analog or digital format. Date display is also available. The Date display feature can be used as a count up/down timer, remaining time counter, schedule timer or for information display.
Information Display
Information for display includes error logs from each window, user-entered text and multi viewer information.
Logo/Background
Up to 8 logos can be added. Backgrounds can be added to each of the 8 outputs (2 outputs in 4K operation).
Input Lock
Input lock for each of the 8 standard inputs enables genlock without using reference signals.
Can display time based on a 30-hour clock
Time display can begin at 6 a.m., with midnight to 5 a.m. as hours 24-29 in a 30-hour period. Settings between 24-hour and 30-hour clocks are made in 1-hour increments.
Schedule Timer
As a trigger to display the remaining time, up to 24 times can be scheduled per day, on each week day. Import and export schedule timer files as needed.
Cropping
Specify areas to crop from any side of a window in pixels or by percent. Background image is shown outside cropped areas. Aspect ratio also maintained after partial cropping (of one side, for example). Sides can be extended after cropping, to enlarge the display.
Frozen Frame Detection
To enable the multi viewer to respond to changes in Chroma, depending on the yield, due to data compression or expansion, Y/C or Y alone can be detected.
Options
With the MV-4210, you can add just the input formats you need, in just the amount needed. There are three expansion slots so that other inputs can be installed, such as HDMI, DVI-I and RGB in addition to 3G/HD/SD-SDI and analog composite.
