Specifications
Main Frame (SMP-xx and MP-xx MultiViewers)
1RU MultiViewer frame including Power supply and networking card
and rear. Offers 5 modular slots for a combination of Video and Audio
input/output cards.
Using this frame a maximum configuration of 16 inputs to
2 independent MultiView outputs can be achieved. Alternatively, two
independent 8x2 and 4x2 MultiViewers can be housed in the frame.
This frame offers the same functionality as the SMP-S-BASE above but also
includes an integral 16x16 HD-SDI router (up to 3G).
NOTE: Due to the internal HD- SDI router there are restrictions on the
functionality of non-HD-SDI inputs in this frame. Therefore, this frame is only
recommended for HD-SDI applications
3RU MultiViewer frame including Power supply and networking card
and rear. Offers 19 modular slots for a combination of Video and Audio
input/output cards.
Using this frame a maximum configuration of 72 inputs to
2 independent MultiView outputs can be achieved. Alternatively, up to 8
independent 4x2 plus one 8x2 MultiViewer can be housed in the
frame.

The MPX-MVC-3G MultiViewer Controller card is used when you don’t need
to exceed an output resolution of 1080p/60Hz or 3G.
There is a choice of 2 MultiViewer output rears to accompany this card.
Both of these provide 2 independent outputs and a RJ-45 port for control of
the MultiViewer:
RMP-MVC-3G:
2 independent outputs
Each output offers both HDMI and HD-SDI (BNC) in parallel
Output resolutions of up to 1080p/60Hz or 3G are supported
RMP-MVC-DVI-3G:
2 independent outputs
Each output offers both DVI-D and HD-SDI (1.0/2.3 mini
connectors) in parallel
Output resolutions of up to 1080p/60Hz or 3G are supported
Up to 4K/30Hz or 6G
MultiViewer output
The MPX-MVC-6G MultiViewer Controller card is used when you need up
to 4K/30Hz or 6G output resolutions.
The following output rear accompanies this card.
RMP-MVC-6G:
2 independent outputs
Each output offers both HDMI and HD-SDI (1.0/2.3 mini
connectors) in parallel
Output resolutions of up to 4K/30Hz or 6G are supported
RJ-45 port for control of the MultiViewer
STP cage for future use for fibre outputs.
1 x Analog Stereo audio monitor output is provided via front panel mounted
headphone socket (6.35mm), with delay compensation. This may be

assigned a stereo pair from any of the non-Dolby audio sources in the first
MultiViewer instance.
For each independent MultiViewer output, up to 4 pairs (8 channels) of
audio may be selected from any of the non-dolby audio sources for
embedding onto the HDMI and SDI video Outputs.
