MMV1630 MULTIVIEWER | Matriz y Multiviewer 16-CH

The MMV1630 MULTIVIEWER is a versatile professional solution that combines the functions of a 16-channel multiviewer and a 16×16 SDI switching matrix in a single rack-mounted unit. Firstly, it features 16 3G-SDI inputs with automatic signal detection, ideal for managing multiple video sources in live production and broadcast environments. Furthermore, its scaled outputs (2×3G-SDI and 1×HDMI) allow for the monitoring of embedded audio via 20 pre-configured layouts or in full-screen mode. Consequently, the MMV1630 MULTIVIEWER is positioned as the essential centrepiece for outside broadcast units, control rooms and television studios.

Professional Technical Specifications

The MMV1630 MULTIVIEWER’s engineering stands out for its real-time signal processing capability. The device supports multiple SD, HD and 3G-SDI video formats with automatic detection. Furthermore, its internal architecture ensures maximum signal integrity even over long cable runs.

• Dual-mode operation: Firstly, it allows you to switch between 16-channel multiviewer mode and 16×16 matrix switching mode depending on your workflow requirements.
• 16 auto-detecting 3G-SDI inputs: Furthermore, it automatically recognises the input format and resolution of each connected SDI source.
• Scaled video outputs with audio: Consequently, it features 2 3G-SDI outputs and 1 HDMI output that deliver a scaled signal with embedded audio processing.
• 20 layout and clock presets: It also includes 20 pre-designed display templates, a full-screen option and an integrated clock.
• On-screen data overlay (OSD): It also displays timecode indicators, UMD labels, signal status and audio level meters.
• Dual redundant power supply: Finally, it incorporates a redundant power supply design to ensure system continuity in the event of contingencies.

MMV1630 MULTIVIEWER User and Configuration Guide

• Connecting input signals: Connect up to 16 3G-SDI sources to the rear inputs for automatic detection.
• Connection to control monitors: Run cables from the 2×3G-SDI outputs or the HDMI output to the screens in the control room.
• Mode and layout selection: Use the LCD screen, rotary dial and front-panel buttons to switch between matrix mode and multiviewer layouts.
• OSD overlay activation: Configure the overlay of audio level meters, timecode and UMD names to identify each camera.
• Remote network management: Connect the LAN port to adjust settings and matrices via the free PC control software.
• Redundant power connection: Plug both power inputs into separate mains supply lines to ensure live power backup.

Advanced features and performance

• Direct control via the front panel: The LCD screen, together with the touch-sensitive keypad and rotary knob, makes it easy to change routes and adjust settings without relying on a computer.
• Free PC software via LAN: Allows you to remotely monitor and configure the 16 channels via the local network infrastructure.
• High-quality upscaling: Maintains visual clarity by automatically adapting output resolutions.
• Real-time audio metering: On-screen VU meters allow you to check the balance and audio level of each input source.
• Metal rack-mount chassis: Its standard format facilitates quick and secure integration into broadcast rack cabinets and mobile units.
• Broadcast-grade operational reliability: The combination of power redundancy, matrix switching and advanced overlays ensures stable performance.

Ensuring control over multiple SDI signals in a compact space is key in any production environment. The MMV1630 MULTIVIEWER meets this need by integrating a 16×16 matrix, a 16-channel multiviewer, scaled SDI/HDMI outputs, comprehensive OSD information and a dual redundant power supply within a single chassis.
