The MV-4200 3G/HD/SD/Analog/HDMI/DVI/RGBHV Mixed High Resolution Multiviewer from For.A comes with eight 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs and four 3G/HD-SDI and four HDMI outputs.

The modular design of this 2RU multiviewer allows you to expand the total inputs to up to 68 analog or 8 analog and 24 DVI inputs by adding separately available input cards. The MV-4200SDI card has twenty 3G/HD/SD-SDI analog composite inputs and up to 3 of these can be added to the MV-4200. With three MV-4200HDMI cards installed (each with eight DVI inputs), you get a total of 4 3G/HD/SD-SDI and 24 DVI inputs. HDMI sources can be connected via separately sold DVI-to-HDMI adapters.

In addition, the MV-4200IF Interface Card (available separately) can be added for GPIO, serial control, and input of analog audio, AES audio, and genlock. The MV-4200 Multiviewer offers a customizable window layout, audio level meters, and AFD-compatible cropping functionality.
