Waveform display is a vital tool for color grading and a valuable reference for unifying background levels whenВ keying. It's idealВ for setting the output levels on your broadcast decks and generally monitoring the levels of your production while you edit. Waveform display is perfect for adjusting video levels or matching black background levels when keying! Waveform Display features a luminance waveform of the black and white levels in your video signal. TheВ SmartScope Duo 4K 2 delivers broadcast accurate monitoring to ensure your video production includes previseВ video and audio levels at all times. This is a powerful combination, because you can see the video you're monitoring alongside a real time scope measurement.

You can even monitor video on one LCD, while running a scope such as waveform, histogram or audio on the other screen. SmartScope Duo 4K 2 gives you the choice to select a scope display or regular video on each of the 8' LCD displays. Each monitor is independent so can display any combination of scope or picture view. SmartScope Duo 4K looks like a SmartView Duo but adds independent waveform monitoring so you can select between waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade, YUV parade, histogram and audio phase level displays.

You can see where the overall exposure is, and if you are exposing the brighter areas of your image with enough detail.The Blackmagic Design SmartScope Duo 4K 2 model includes built-in waveform monitoring when you need to analyze image quality more accurately than simply looking at the picture.В It features seven of the most popular scopes used in broadcast and post production facilities, plus you can review the video in playback.

Histogram: The Histogram view lets you see where the pixels are in your video, and how they are distributed from black to white.

The stereo phase meter plots left and right audio as an XY scope display, and out of phase audio can be seen as either a left or right leaning display. You can monitor the levels of all 16 channels at the same time, or monitor the stereo phase of SDI audio pairs.

Audio Views: allows you to monitor 16 channels of audio, checking the levels and the audio phase.

The YUV Parade display shows the YUV component video as it is transmitted down the SDI cable. RGB Parade lets you check for illegal colors, plotting them against an IRE Scale.

Parade: You can choose to display either RGB or YUV Parade.

Vectorscope: Allows you to accurately measure colors in the video signal, and is a valuable tool when matching cameras, or when you need to align the hue on the output of decks.

Waveform: Displays the luminance component of the video signal on an IRE scale.

You can select from either the video feed or one of six scope views of the video signal: Note:В SmartScope Duo v1 and v2 are functionally identical, with v2 containing a slightly different internal component set.

The unit also automatically flips the image if you need to install the unit upside down. The unit takes up three rack height units, but is less than two inches deep (including the connector depth), which makes it well suited for use in production trucks where space is at a premium. The Blackmagic Design SmartScope Duo 4K also incorporates a Tally display around the border of the image, which works with industry standard Tally systems. This allows you to adjust the monitorsвЂ™ brightness and color as well as select the monitors display mode вЂ“ video or scope view.

You use the USB connector to initialize the monitor on your network after that you can control the monitors using the supplied software via the Ethernet connector. You can choose to select to display either the input video or one of six scope displays, while the input video passes through the monitor to downstreamed devices. The inputs are auto-sensing/selecting so you donвЂ™t have to worry about matching the input format the monitor will display any supported format that you feed it. It features two 8вЂі monitors each with a loop-through SDI input and output. The Blackmagic Design SmartScope Duo 4K Rack-Mounted Dual 6G-SDI Monitors BВ is a monitoring solution for studio and location productions, displaying video with resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 30p.
