Planning your SmartView Installation
SmartView monitors are perfect for any facility which requires rack-based monitoring. SDI input connections
support auto-detection of SD, HD or 3 Gb/s SDI including 2K video.
SmartView Duo features two monitors with 8" LCD screens, 2 SDI inputs, 2 reclocked SDI loop-through
outputs, 2 Ethernet ports, tally connector, USB 2.0 connector and configuration software for Mac OS X
and Windows. The simultaneous display of different video formats is supported on the two, independent
monitors. SmartView Duo is 3 RU (rack units) high and less than an inch deep.
SmartView HD features a 17" LCD screen, 1 SDI input, 1 reclocked SDI loop-through output, 2 Ethernet
ports, tally connector, USB 2.0 connector and configuration software for Mac OS X and Windows. SmartView
HD is 6 RU high and less than an inch deep.
The Blackmagic SmartView Utility can be used to change network settings and monitor settings. The
computer display resolution needs to be 1280 x 800 or higher to display the Blackmagic SmartView Utility.
While SmartView monitors display video without needing any configuration, any network settings needs to
be configured prior to deployment. Network configuration is performed using a direct USB 2.0 connection
to a computer. You will need to provide a standard USB 2.0 type A-B male cable to connect SmartView to
your computer. A laptop computer with a USB 2.0 port would be ideal for this task.
This same USB cable can be used for applying occasional firmware updates downloaded from the Blackmagic
Design website. Programmable firmware can provide new features, compatibility with new hardware and
support for new formats. The SmartView firmware update utility runs on a Mac OS X or Windows computer
and uses the USB 2.0 connection to update SmartView.
Local monitor configuration can be performed with a direct USB 2.0 connection between your computer
and a SmartView unit.
Remote monitor configuration can be performed via an Ethernet network switch. The network switch also
enables multiple computers to configure SmartView monitor settings. Additional SmartView units can be
daisy-chained together using the active loop-through Ethernet OUT port on each unit so as to only use a
single port on your switch. Daisy-chaining SmartView via Ethernet also avoids having to run Ethernet cables
back to the network switch for each SmartView unit. Power must be supplied to all units for Ethernet daisy-
chaining to work.
Remote monitor configuration can also be performed via a direct Ethernet connection between your
computer and SmartView. No network switch is required in this configuration which is great if you need
to install and set up SmartView fast. Additional SmartView units can be daisy-chained together using the
active loop-through Ethernet OUT port on each unit. Power must be supplied to all units for Ethernet daisy-
chaining to work.
