Input Configuration
Familiarise yourself with how to assign your SDI inputs to the desired quadrants on the multiview display. This is typically done via Blackmagic’s free software utility.
Monitoring Focus
While useful for general monitoring, rely on dedicated, larger monitors or focus peaking on individual cameras for critical focus, as the smaller quadrants can make precise focus difficult to discern.
Audio Monitoring
Utilise the audio metres on each input to quickly identify any audio presence or issues, even if you’re not listening to every source.
Reference Monitor Integration
Use the MultiView alongside a single, high-quality reference monitor. The MultiView provides an overview, while the reference monitor is for critical colour and exposure.
Firmware Management
Keep the MultiView 4 HD’s firmware updated through Blackmagic Design’s software to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with new devices.
