The NMOS interface specification describes how SMPTE 2110 devices are discovered and controlled on IP networks. SmartView 4K supports IS-04 for discovery and registration of IP video devices and IS-05 for connection management between IP video devices. This means you can make connections between sources and destinations just like a traditional SDI router.   Built-in Tally Border for On Air Status When you’re working with live production, SmartView 4K supports the Blackmagic SDI Tally Protocol and illuminates a coloured border around the image, in red for on air or green for preview. This SDI tally standard is used on all ATEM live production switchers so you can simply connect the monitor to the switcher SDI outputs to get the image and the tally with a single BNC cable. This means that a director can cut between cameras and the tally information will be sent back to the SmartView 4K via the SDI video feed. This totally eliminates complex cabling and the Blackmagic SDI Tally Protocol helps you set up for jobs much faster.   Remote Control Software for Mac and Windows When you need to change settings or update the software on your SmartView 4K, then you can simply download and run the SmartView Utility software which is available free of charge on the Blackmagic Design support site. This software is available for both Mac and Windows computers and it connects via the USB connection or Ethernet when you have the SmartView 4K Ethernet connected. You can use the utility to change the monitor custom name for identifying monitors in larger systems. You can also select between 3G-SDI level A and level B formatting. To protect against unauthorized network access, Ethernet is disabled by default, but can be enabled when connecting via USB.   Develop Custom Remote Control Solutions Videohub includes a powerful remote control protocol so you can create custom remote control solutions for integrating SmartView 4K into your broadcast systems. It's extremely easy to learn because it's a simple text based protocol you can even play with using a Telnet client. This means you can create custom control solutions on all computer platforms and from embedded hardware such as Raspberry Pi and Arduino. You get full control of LCD brightness, contrast, saturation, tally, input selection and you can even activate a 3D LUT. The best way to learn the protocol is to log in using a simple Telnet app and then use the documentation in the SmartView 4K manual to try out each command.   Flexible and Redundant Power The all in one design of SmartView 4K includes a built in power supply so you don’t have to carry around an external power brick. Simply plug it into any AC mains outlet and start live production. The international power supply automatically works from 100 to 240V AC, so you can use it anywhere in the world. Plus, for safety, SmartView 4K includes both AC and 12V DC power connections. The mini converter style 12V DC power connection is perfect for backup power or for running on batteries. Running on batteries means you can use it in extremely remote locations. Plus, if the internal power supply should ever malfunction, then you can connect a DC power supply to keep running.
