Getting Started

Introducing SmartView and SmartScope

SmartView monitors are perfect for any facility which requires rack-based monitoring. To simply get up and running, the only thing you need to do is plug in power and connect an SDI source!
SmartView 4K G3 has a 15.6” 4K LCD so you can monitor SD, HD, or Ultra HD video in its native 3840×2160 pixel resolution. The front control panel buttons mean you can easily select inputs, adjust the screen brightness, check for noise in the blue channel, view blanking information, apply 3D LUTs and more.

SmartView Duo has two monitors for simultaneous display of different SD and HD video signals. For example, one monitor can display a YUV 4:2:2 signal while the other receives RGB 4:4:4. One monitor could be showing NTSC while the other shows PAL. There are many possible combinations but it is all as simple as connecting a single SDI cable to each monitor!

SmartScope Duo 4K has all the same features as SmartView Duo plus can be used to display waveform, vectorscope and other popular scopes for monitoring video and audio levels in real time. Plus, you get full support for Ultra HD!
All SDI input connections on SmartView and SmartScope monitors support auto detection of SD, HD or 3G-SDI including 2K video. SmartView 4K G3 also detects Ultra HD including formats such as 2160p60 via 12G-SDI. SmartScope Duo 4K includes auto detection of Ultra HD video via 6G-SDI.

SmartView 4K G3 also features 10G 2110 IP for receiving SMPTE 2110 IP video including up to Ultra HD 2160p60 with Blackmagic IP10.
That’s all you need to get started! Please read on for more detailed instructions on connecting SmartView and SmartScope, configuring monitor settings in Blackmagic SmartView Setup, and connecting to a network.

Plugging in Video Sources

SmartView and SmartScope monitors feature regular BNC connectors to connect to SDI equipment including switchers, cameras, capture cards, decks and disk recorders.

Getting a Picture

Displaying your video is easy! Simply power the unit and connect your video source to an SDI input. Once powered and connected, your video should be immediately visible. SD, HD and 2K signals are automatically detected by the SDI input and loop through output connections. SmartView 4K G3 and SmartScope Duo 4K also detects Ultra HD.
When no video is received by the unit, the backlight turns off, saving power until the next valid signal is received.
To view ST 2110 IP video on SmartView 4K G3, connect using the 10G Ethernet port or using an optional optical fiber SFP module.

Daisy Chaining Monitors

Each SmartView and SmartScope monitor has its own independent SDI input as well as a loop through output so you can chain multiple monitors together to display the same input signal:
1. Power on unit 1. Connect a video source to an SDI input. The video should immediately be visible.
2. Power on unit 2. Connect an SDI cable from a loop output of unit 1 to an SDI input on unit 2.
There is no limit to the amount of units you can chain.
If you are waveform monitoring using SmartScope Duo 4K, you’ll probably want to loop the Monitor 1 output to Monitor 2 so both displays use the same input signal.

Now you have video displayed, you can adjust monitor settings, or select scopes on SmartScope Duo 4K using the Blackmagic SmartView Setup software, which you can also use to load 3D LUTs on Blackmagic SmartView 4K G3.

Control Panel Buttons

The control panel features a row of buttons so you can quickly adjust settings.

Input
Pressing this button cycles through the video signals connected to SmartView 4K G3’s two 12G-SDI inputs, subscribed 2110 IP streams and optional optical fiber SFP module input. If there is no video connected to an input, SmartView 4K G3 will display black for that input. When switching between inputs, information about your connected input format will be momentarily displayed on the top left corner of your monitor.

Display

The ‘disp’ button is used to adjust the brightness setting on your SmartView 4K G3’s LCD. Adjust brightness by pressing the up and down arrow buttons. Press the ‘disp’ button again to close the setting.

H/V Delay
Pressing the ‘H/V delay’ button lets you quickly confirm the presence of ancillary data embedded in your SDI video signal. For example, press the H/V delay button once to view the horizontal ancillary data. Press the H/V delay button again to view the vertical ancillary data, commonly used for data such as closed captions.

Blue Only
Any noise in a digital video signal is more predominant in the blue channel so the overall amount of noise can be monitored using the ‘blue only’ button. This displays only the blue channel represented as a black and white image. This black and white image can also be used for assistance when checking camera focus.

Zoom
A method of achieving crisp camera focus is to use the ‘zoom’ button. Press once to zoom into the image. Now you can see clearly if an object is in focus. Press zoom again to return to normal viewing size.

Peak
Camera focus can easily be checked by pressing the ‘peak’ button to enable focus peaking. This displays a bright green edge around the sharpest points in your image. There are two levels of peaking strengths which you can cycle through with subsequent pressing of the peak button. When the green edges are at their strongest, you can be sure your camera is in focus.

3D LUT 1 and 3D LUT 2
The LUT buttons let you view your image using custom 3D LUTs generated in DaVinci Resolve, or industry standard .cube LUTs. Press a LUT button once to enable the LUT. Press again to disable the LUT. Refer to the ‘loading 3D LUTs using Blackmagic SmartView Setup’ section for more information on using 3D LUTs with SmartView 4K G3.

H Mark and V Mark
You can view and edit frame markers using the ‘H mark’ and ‘V mark’ buttons. Frame markers help you compose shots or keep important information or graphics within the safe area of the screen. Different televisions display slightly more or less of the edges of a video signal, so it’s handy to view a safe area. A safe area is the section of the screen that will always be visible no matter what television or monitor is being used to view it.
To view horizontal and vertical frame markers, press the H mark and V mark buttons respectively. To edit the markers, press each respective button again to highlight each guide. This allows you to edit the markers’ positions using the up and down arrow buttons. Subsequent presses of each button will confirm your new positions. Another press turns the markers off.

Up and Down Arrow Buttons

Use the up and down arrow buttons when editing a setting, for example adjusting the display brightness or editing frame marker positions.

Power
Press the power button once to turn your SmartView 4K G3 on. Press again to turn off.

Blackmagic IP10 Video Codec

You can send uncompressed ST 2110 IP video over 10G Ethernet at frame rates up to 2160p50 Ultra HD, just like on an SDI video network. For the high frame rates, like 2160p59.94 and 2160p60, you’ll need to lower the data rate enough to fit down a 10G Ethernet port. This is where Blackmagic IP10 comes in. It’s a simple ‘codec’ that changes from pixels being an absolute quantizing level as used in normal uncompressed video to a difference number that shows the difference between pixels. On hard edges in the image, it can also reduce the bit depth of these pixels because it’s not visible.

The goal is to fit a 12G-SDI signal into a 10G Ethernet port, so only a little bit of image data needs to be removed. The big advantage of using 10G Ethernet for high frame rate Ultra HD video is a dramatically lower cost because products can be simple and use less power. This makes IP mini converter type products possible and the cost of Ethernet switches is also much lower as low cost 10G Ethernet switches are very common. You can also use simple 10G Ethernet copper cables that are already installed in a lot of buildings and you even have the option to remove power converters over PoE.

For detailed information on Blackmagic IP10 including the developer documents and reference software, refer to the Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters products page on the website www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagic2110ipconverter#ip10codec

This information should provide enough detail for developers to incorporate Blackmagic IP10 into other products.

Changing Settings Using SmartView Setup

Adjust network settings and subscribe to ST 2110 IP video streams using Blackmagic SmartView Setup.

Setup Tab
Setup settings let you change the name of your SmartView, change network settings, displays the current version of your SmartView’s internal software, SDI output and tally settings.

If you have more than one SmartView 4K G3 it can be helpful to rename them so they are easier to identify on your network. To change the name, enter the name and click ‘set’. You can also locate the SmartView monitor by clicking the ‘identify’ button. When selected, the SmartView border will appear white for 15 seconds.

Date and Time
Set your date and time automatically by ticking the box. When setting the date and time automatically, your monitor will use the network time protocol server set in the NTP field. The default NTP server is time.cloudflare.com, but you can also manually enter an alternate NTP server and then click on ‘set’.

If you are entering your date and time manually, use the fields to enter your date, time and time zone. Setting the date and time correctly ensures your recordings have the same time and date information as your network and also prevents conflicts that can occur with some network systems.

SFP Module
SmartView 4K G3 is 2110 IP is compatible with both Ethernet and SDI SFP modules. If you are using an SFP module, select between ‘SDI optical’ and ‘Ethernet optical’ to confirm the type of SFP in use.

Network Settings
Network Location
The network location is the name for your SmartView 4K G3 that will appear in the registry. This is based on the identification name at the top of the setup utility. It’s worth noting that numeric prefixes will be ignored.

MAC Address
This field displays the MAC address of the SmartView 4K G3 monitor.

Protocol
DHCP and static IP settings let you determine how your SmartView is connected to your network.

DHCP

SmartView 4K G3 monitors are set to DHCP by default. The dynamic host configuration protocol, or DHCP, is a service on network servers that automatically finds your SmartView monitor and assigns an IP address. DHCP is a great service that makes it easy to connect equipment via Ethernet and ensure their IP addresses do not conflict with each other. Most computers and network switchers support DHCP.

Static IP

When ‘static IP’ is selected, you can enter your network details manually. When setting IP addresses manually so all units can communicate, they must share the same subnet mask and gateway settings.

When using static IP and there are other units on the network that have the same identifying number in their IP address there will be a conflict and the units won’t connect. If you encounter a conflict, simply change the identifying number in the unit’s IP address.

For example, if the conflicting address is 192.100.40.30 change the last number field to anything other than 30. If the new number is also being used, keep changing it until you find a unique number that isn’t being used by other equipment.

Allow Utility Administration

Enabling the ‘via USB’ setting limits setting changes to only the computer connected via USB. This removes the risk of anyone on the network making accidental settings changes.

SDI Output
Some broadcast equipment can only receive level A or level B 3G-SDI video. To maintain compatibility with other broadcast equipment, select Level A for direct stream 3G-SDI or Level B for dual stream multiplexed 3G-SDI.

Tally
Select ‘enable tally override’ to enable tally borders on Blackmagic SmartView 4K G3. This feature is compatible with cameras including Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K, URSA Mini Pro 12K and Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2.
Connect the camera’s SDI outputs to the ATEM switcher and to input 1 or 2 on your SmartView 4K G3. Connect the ATEM switcher’s program output to the camera’s SDI input.

When the ATEM switcher switches the camera to the program output, a red tally border will appear on you SmartView 4K G3. When switched to the preview output, the tally border will appear green.

Display
When working with SD video, you can scale the video to fill the display by checking the the box.

To adjust the brightness of the monitor, drag the slider control left or right or enter the brightness as a percentage in the number field.

Reset
Click ‘factory reset’ to restore your SmartView 4K G3 to factory settings. Once you press ‘set’, you will be prompted to confirm your selection. To proceed, click ‘reset’.

2110 Tab

The 2110 tab provides settings for routing SMPTE 2110 IP video streams along with PTP clock settings.

2110 Receiver Settings
Route incoming sources to your SmartView 4K G3 using the ‘2110 receiver’ settings.

To route an incoming stream:
1 Click on the magnifying glass to the right of the receiver field. A window will appear listing the IP node and source label for all available 2110 IP streams on the network.

2. Select an available stream from the list and click the ‘select’ button. The window will close and return to the 2110 tab of the setup utility. You should now see the incoming source on the SmartView monitor.

PTP Clock Settings
The PTP settings let you configure the settings for the PTP grandmaster.

When connecting SmartView 4K G3 to a 10G network switch with a PTP grandmaster, the SmartView monitor needs to be set to ‘PTP follower only’ mode to prevent a timing conflict.
If you have connected the monitor to another 2110 IP unit such as a Blackmagic 2110 IP 3x3G Converter, set one to be the follower by ticking the checkbox

Domain Number
Enter the domain number to match that of the PTP grandmaster. This is commonly 127 but can be changed by entering a different domain number in the field.

Master
The master address field displays the MAC address of the PTP grandmaster. This is either a separate grandmaster, or an IP converter such as Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 3x3G.

PTP Lock
The PTP lock field will acknowledge when the monitor is locked to a PTP clock via Ethernet.

Priority
When the SmartView 4K G3 is not set to ‘PTP follower only’ it can become a PTP Master. The priority of the unit to become the master is set here. The lower the number the higher the priority.

Announce Interval and Timeout
The announce interval and timeout fields need to match the specifications of the PTP grandmaster which transmits sync messages typically every two seconds or 2000 ms. To change the frequency of the message, use the menu to select a different time. The ranges available for announce interval and announce timeout will depend on your PTP grandmaster.

NMOS Registry
The NMOS registry IP can be entered manually or check auto to automatically discover the NMOS registry on the network.

LUTS Tab
SmartView 4K G3 lets you monitor your video using 3D LUTs. This gives you the option to calibrate your SmartView 4K G3 using professional calibration LUTs, or to view your video as close to your final grade as possible. You can also use 3D LUTs to experiment with different looks. LUTs are loaded into SmartView 4K G3 using Blackmagic SmartView Setup, and because SmartView 4K G3 supports industry standard LUT files with a .cube file extension, you can even load custom LUTs generated with DaVinci Resolve. Refer to the DaVinci Resolve manual for more information about generating LUT files.

To load a 3D LUT into 3D LUT 1:
1. Launch Blackmagic SmartView Setup.
2. Press the ‘load LUT 1’ load button. A window will open asking you for the location of the
LUT file you want to load. Select the desired .cube LUT file, then press the ‘open’ button.
3. To view the LUT you just loaded, press the 3D LUT 1 button on the SmartView 4K G3’s control panel. Press the button again to turn the LUT off.

Follow the same procedure to load a LUT file into 3D LUT 2.

SmartView and SmartScope Duo 4K

Using SmartScope Duo 4K

What is Blackmagic SmartScope?

Previously, broadcast quality television and post production scopes were incredibly expensive custom solutions that only let you see one scope at a time on a tiny screen! Some scopes look ugly and don’t really look good in front of your client.
With SmartScope Duo 4K you get the addition of waveform monitors which allow you to see any aspect of your video signal on your dual monitors in real time. Any adjustments made to the input signal in Blackmagic SmartView Setup can immediately be seen on SmartScope Duo 4K! In addition, each input signal can be sent to either monitor via the SDI loop out, meaning you can use the right hand monitor to display the scope for the signal going into the left hand monitor.

The scopes displayed by SmartScope Duo 4K are selected in the Blackmagic SmartView Setup software. Select your scopes from the ‘display’ menu.

The information over the next several pages explains how each scope display is used so you can get a deeper understanding of how each display can help you.

Video Monitoring Display

The video monitoring display is a handy confidence monitor so you can see the video that is being received by SmartScope.

If your input signal is SD, you can select between displaying it in either 4:3 pillarbox or 16:9 from the ‘set’ menu. Any changes made to the LCD brightness, contrast or saturation settings can be immediately seen in this view. Note that changing these settings only affects the monitor, not the video signal, so the scopes will not be affected by any saturation or brightness changes.

It can often be handy to set one monitor as ‘video monitoring’ and another as your scope view. To do this, use a short cable to connect the SDI loop out from ‘monitor 1’ to the SDI in of ‘monitor 2’.

You can view SD video in 4:3 pillar box or 16:9 widescreen by selecting from the ‘set’ options in Blackmagic SmartView Setup. Set ‘SD aspect to 16:9’ when viewing anamorphic standard definition video.

The video monitoring display setting shows the video signal as it will normally appear on a television screen or monitor

Waveform Display

The waveform display provides a digitally encoded waveform similar to traditional luminance waveform monitors, which is used to monitor and adjust the luma, or brightness, levels of your video signal.
Traditional luminance waveform monitors only supported composite analog standard definition video. However, SmartScope Duo 4K’s waveform view works in Ultra HD and HD as well as SD so you have a consistent and easy way to adjust luma levels, even when monitoring high definition digital video formats!
Select waveform from the display drop down menu in Blackmagic SmartView Setup. You will want to make sure the blacks in your waveform do not drop below 0% and the whites do not exceed 100% as this means you are getting illegal luma values.

The waveform monitor is a graphical representation of the image, showing luma values in the same position relative to those within the frame. For example, if part of your sky is overexposed you will see it in the same horizontal position on the waveform display as it appears in the frame.

Depending on your footage, your waveform will look different. If you are monitoring video which is high contrast, you might not see any values in the mid grays. The picture below shows a waveform for an evenly exposed image with a dark patch on the left, and brighter values from the center of the frame out to the right.

Vectorscope Display

The vectorscope display uses a vector view to show the colors in a video signal. Depending on the standard of color bar test signals used in your facility, select either 100% or 75% from the ‘set’ menu in Blackmagic SmartView Setup.

Some people think you can use a vectorscope to check for illegal levels, however this is not correct. The Parade RGB display should be used for checking for illegal colors. The reason you cannot use a vectorscope to check for illegal levels is that both chroma and luminance values are required. For example, colors near the white or black points in video cannot be as saturated as the much stronger colors, which can be used in the mid grays. Because vectorscope display only shows colors, and not luminance values, it cannot be used solely to check for illegal colors.

Vectorscope display is the best tool for checking color levels from older, analog videotape where you need to adjust chroma levels. Just play back the color bar segment of the videotape, and then adjust the chroma and hue settings to set the colors of the video within the square boxes in the graticule.

Vectorscope display is also perfect for color grading, as you can easily see if your video is correctly white balanced or if there is a color tint. If your video has a color tint, the vectorscope display will drift off center, and you might see two center dots. Normally the blanking in the video signal will create a dot in the center of the vectorscope, and this is because the blanking in the video is black video without any color. Blanking provides a useful reference point to help recognize areas of black video without any color information.

If your video has a color tint, you should see the blacks move off color and off center. The degree of shift represents the amount of color tint in your video and you can see the shift in both the white and black details of your video. This makes vectorscope display valuable for removing color tint and regaining correct white balance.

Vectorscope display lets you push colors in your video to the limits, without accidentally adding unwanted color tints to blacks and whites. While color balance can be monitored on both the RGB parade display and vectorscope display, color balance issues will often be easier to see in the vectorscope display.

When color correcting footage of skin tone, particularly faces, you will want to keep your warm color saturation along a line at approximately 10 o’clock on the vectorscope. This is known as the “fleshtone line” and is based on the color of blood beneath the skin’s surface. The fleshtone line is therefore applicable to all skin pigmentations and is the best way to ensure the skin tones of your talent look natural.

Parade Display

RGB and YUV parade displays are perfect for color correction, checking for illegal colors and checking levels.
When color correcting, select RGB parade from the ‘display’ menu in Blackmagic SmartView Setup. RGB parade view displays the full height of the individual red, green and blue color channels. Monitoring the levels of each color channel makes color correction straightforward and it is also easy to view color balance in the blacks, mids and whites of the video signal. RGB parade display enables you to identify details common to the red, green and blue channels, making it simple to color balance and remove unwanted color tints.

It’s important when color correcting to make sure the video levels are full but not clipped. If you want to increase the video level, make sure it doesn’t go above upper RGB limit or you will encounter illegal levels. Some equipment won’t let you generate illegal 100% RGB levels, however other equipment will. SmartScope Duo 4K lets you see illegal levels whenever
they occur.

Illegal video can also happen in the black and white levels. In some color correction systems, black levels can be lowered to below the black point of 0%. If you observe illegal black levels, just add some “lift” or gain to eliminate them but check the 100% graticule level to make sure the whole video signal has not lifted and generated illegal colors in the whites.

To check YUV levels, select YUV parade from the ‘display’ menu. This view is useful because the luma, or brightness, values are separated from the chroma, or color values, which is the format of video signals for television broadcast. The left waveform shows the luma information and the second and third waveforms show the chroma information. YUV parade view is useful for calibrating a video signal’s chroma values to a color bar test pattern, so that colors are represented accurately and the signal being broadcast will be displayable by television sets.

Color correcting is a constant adjustment process to attain the best looking images without generating illegal levels!

Color Correction Terminology

Blacks – Black levels in the video signal Mids – Mid gray levels in the video signal Whites – White levels in the video signal

Histogram Display

Histogram display is most familiar to graphic designers and camera operators. Histogram display shows the distribution of white to black information and lets you monitor how close the detail is to being clipped off in the whites or blacks of the video. Histogram display also lets you see the effects of gamma changes in the video.
Black video is shown on the left of the display, and whites are shown on the right. All video should usually be found between the 0% and 100% intervals of the histogram display. Your video is being clipped if it moves below 0% or above 100%.

Video clipping can be really bad when you’re on a shoot, as detail in the blacks and whites must be preserved if you subsequently want to perform color- correction in a controlled environment. When shooting, keep the video above the black clip, and below the white clip, so you can have more freedom later to adjust colors without whites and blacks appearing flat and lacking in detail.

When color-correcting, you might decide to clip your video, and in which case histogram display will show the effect of clipping the video, and how much it is being clipped. You can even use gamma to create a similar look, with less clipping, while retaining more detail.

You cannot really use histogram display to check for illegal levels although you can use it to see illegal blacks and whites. Histogram display does not show colors and so the histogram might appear to show legal levels, even though your video may contain illegal colors. Again, RGB parade display provides the best way to watch out for illegal levels as it shows them in both the color and luminance elements of the video signal.

Audio Metering Display

The audio metering displays show you the audio levels in the embedded audio of the SDI video signal. Up to 16 channels of embedded audio are de-embedded and then displayed in either dBVU or dBFS format.
The VU meter shows average signal levels, is easy to use and very common on older equipment. VU is calibrated to the SMPTE recommendation of a 1 kHz tone test signal set to -20 dBFS.
dBFS is essentially a meter of the overall digital audio signal and is common on modern digital equipment.

The right hand audio scope can monitor two channels of audio, which can be selected from the ‘set’ menu. e.g., ch 1 & 2, ch 3 & 4, etc. The audio scope presents audio in an X-Y view so you can see audio balance issues, out of phase conditions and whether an audio track is mono or stereo. Mono audio should appear as a single vertical “in phase” line. If the line is horizontal, then your audio is “out of phase” and could cancel out resulting in a loss of audio received by downstream equipment. Audio phase is one of the most common audio faults in large facilities, where cables can be incorrectly connected.

When monitoring stereo signals, the line of the right hand audio scope fans out to represent the difference between the left and right audio channels. The more stereo sound contained in the audio track, the more circular the line will appear. If the audio contains minimal stereo content, then the scope will appear more concentrated around the vertical axis.

Dialog audio tends to appear as a vertical line, whereas music with plenty of stereo content will cause the scope to puff out. This is because mono audio is L+R, and will display on the vertical axis, whereas stereo content is L-R, and will display on the horizontal axis to show the stereo difference.

Network Settings

Monitor Name
It is a good idea to change your monitor’s name so each SmartView Duo or SmartScope Duo unit is easy to identify on a network, e.g., “Field Cameras 1 & 2”, “Multi-View Output”, “4K feeds” etc.
To change your monitor’s name, make sure your monitor is connected via Ethernet or USB. Launch Blackmagic SmartView Setup and click on the settings icon under your monitor name. Using the ‘configure’ tab edit the name of your monitor located in the ‘details’ section. If the software detects an invalid name, a warning icon will appear next to the name as you are typing. If the name is valid, a tick will appear. Press the ‘return’ key on your computer keyboard to confirm the name change.

Network Settings

To make changes to the network settings section in Blackmagic SmartView Setup, your Blackmagic monitor must be connected to the computer via USB. Network settings cannot be changed via Ethernet.
By default, SmartView Duo and SmartScope Duo use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address from your network. If no SmartView or SmartScope monitors are found on the network, the units might not have received IP addresses via DHCP and it will be necessary to manually configure each unit with appropriate network settings.

To set a static IP address:

1. Connect a Blackmagic SmartView Duo or SmartScope Duo monitor to your computer via USB and launch Blackmagic SmartView Setup.
2. Your connected monitor will be automatically displayed in the SmartView Setup home page and will show a USB icon next to its name. Click on the monitor image.
3. Click the ‘static IP’ checkbox and fill in the IP address and gateway address fields. Please ask your system administrator for a spare IP address to avoid creating an IP conflict on your network.

4. Once you’ve entered the address details, click ‘save’.

Connecting to a Network

By connecting a SmartView or SmartScope monitor to a network, you can adjust monitor settings for multiple units remotely.
While SmartView and SmartScope monitors display video without needing any configuration, any network settings need to be configured prior to deployment. Network configuration can only be performed using a direct USB connection to a computer.

Direct Ethernet
Remote monitor configuration can be performed via a direct Ethernet connection to your computer. No network switch is required in this configuration, which is great if you need to install and set up quickly. Additional units can be daisy chained together using the active loop through Ethernet out port on each unit. Power must be supplied to all units in the chain.

If you want to connect several units without using IP addresses from your existing studio network, or if you don’t have an existing network, simply connect them directly to the Ethernet port on your computer. This is also a fast way to connect SmartView and SmartScope units via Ethernet as you don’t need to run any cables back to a network switch.

Direct Ethernet Connection Diagram

You can connect the Ethernet port of a computer directly to a unit without needing a network switch. Additional units can be daisy chained to each other so you don’t have to run multiple cables back to a network switch. Power must be supplied to all units.

Point to Point 2110 IP Connection Diagram
SmartView 4K G3 can be connected point to point to Blackmagic 2110 IP converters to receive 2110 IP streams. In the following diagram, the ATEM switcher multiview output is connected to Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G via SDI. The converter is then connected to the SmartView 4K G3 via Ethernet.

Ethernet Network Switch

If you want to connect several units to your studio’s network, you only need to connect one SmartView or SmartScope to the network switch and the rest can be daisy chained to each other using the active loop through Ethernet out port on each unit so only a single port on your switch is used. This way you won’t have to run multiple cables back to a network switch. Power must be supplied to all units for daisy chained to work.

Connecting to a network switch allows any computer on the network to change a unit’s settings. Any Mac or Windows laptop computer can also change settings via a WiFi connection if your network includes a wireless access point.

You will need to carry out the following steps to connect SmartView or SmartScope to a local area IP based network.

1. Securely connect and switch on the power supply included with your unit.
2. Connect the unit to a network switch, or directly to a computer, with a standard RJ45

Connecting SmartView 4K G3 to a 2110 IP Network

Adding your SmartView 4K G3 to a 2110 IP network allows you to receive streams from 2110 IP converters along with studio cameras on the network. In the following diagram a SmartView 4K G3 is connected to a Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 360P. Also connected to the network switch are a Studio Camera 6K Pro, Audio Monitor 12G G3 and a Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G connected to an URSA camera. Once the cameras are recording, you can use the SmartView Setup utility to route the 2110 IP stream from the studio camera or the Mini 2110 IP converter.

Using Tally

Tally Port Pin Connections

It is not necessary to connect the tally port of SmartView or SmartScope and you can skip this section if you do not intend to use the tally feature.
Each SmartView and SmartScope screen features independent tally borders in red, green or blue which can be used to indicate the status of a video signal such as on air, preview or recording.

The 9 pin D-sub tally port accepts contact closure signals from switchers and automation systems. Please refer to the accompanying tally pin connections diagram for information about wiring the tally port for use with your switcher or automation system.

The 9 pin D port wiring description is printed on the rear of the unit showing contact closures to display red, green or blue tally borders on each independent monitor.

Optimizing the Viewing Angle

If SmartView Duo and SmartScope Duo 4K monitors are to be installed high up in an equipment rack, you may wish to physically invert the LCDs for the optimum viewing angle. The images on the LCDs will automatically flip to the correct orientation when they sense an inversion. A number 02 size pozidriv screwdriver is required to disconnect and reconnect the faceplate from its rear assembly. This is a simple procedure and does not involve opening the rear assembly.
The following procedure describes how to invert the unit while keeping the Blackmagic Design logo in the correct orientation on the faceplate. A number 02 size pozidriv screwdriver is required.

1. Remove the screws from the top, bottom, left and right sides of the faceplate. SmartView Duo and SmartScope Duo 4K have 10 screws.
2. Lift the front faceplate away from the rear assembly as illustrated.
3. Invert the rear assembly.
4. Reinstate the faceplate on the inverted rear assembly.
5. Reinstate the screws in the chassis.

Your SmartView Duo or SmartScope Duo 4K is now ready to be installed high up in a rack.
Once bolted into a rack, your monitor will continue to display the optimum viewing angle even if bumped, as there are no external knobs or adjustments to mishandle or to come loose.

Developer Information

Blackmagic 2K Format – Overview

Blackmagic Design products support 3G-SDI video, which allows twice the data rate of traditional HD-SDI video. We thought it would be a really nice idea to add 2K film support, via 3G-SDI technology, so we could simplify feature film workflows. With the popularity of Blackmagic Design editing systems worldwide, now thousands of people can benefit from a feature film workflow revolution.

This information includes everything product developers need to know for building native 2K SDI equipment. Of course, all Blackmagic products can be updated, so if the television industry adopts an alternative SDI-based film standard, we can add support for that too!

Blackmagic SmartView Ethernet Protocol v1.4

Summary

The Blackmagic SmartView Ethernet Protocol is a text-based status and control protocol, very similar in structure to the Videohub protocol, that is accessed by connecting to TCP port 9992 on a SmartView or SmartScope monitor.
Upon connection, the SmartView or SmartScope monitor sends a complete dump of the state of the monitor. After the initial dump, state changes are sent asynchronously.
The SmartView or SmartScope sends information in blocks which have an identifying header, followed by a colon. A block can span multiple lines and is terminated by a blank line.
To be resilient to future protocol changes, clients should ignore blocks they do not recognize, up to the trailing blank line. Within recognized blocks, clients should ignore lines they do not recognize.

Protocol Preamble

The first block sent by the SmartView Server is always the protocol preamble:

PROTOCOL PREAMBLE:↵

Version: 1.4 ↵
↵
The version field indicates the protocol version. When the protocol is changed in a compatible way, the minor version number will be updated. If incompatible changes are made, the major version number will be updated.

Device Information

The next block contains general information about the connected SmartView or SmartScope.

SMARTVIEW DEVICE:↵
Model: SmartView Duo↵
Hostname: stagefront.studio.example.com↵
Name: StageFront↵
Monitors: 2↵
Inverted: false↵
↵

This example shows the output for a SmartView Duo, which has two LCDs.

The INVERTED flag indicates whether the monitor has detected that it has been mounted in an inverted configuration to optimize LCD viewing angle.

Network Configuration
The next block shows the TCP/IP networking configuration:
NETWORK:↵
Dynamic IP: true↵
Static address: 192.168.2.2↵
Static netmask: 255.255.255.0↵
Static gateway: 192.168.2.1↵
Current address: 192.168.1.101↵
Current netmask: 255.255.255.0↵
Current gateway: 192.168.1.1↵
↵
The network settings prefixed with CURRENT show the active TCP/IP settings, and are read-only. The CURRENT settings reflect either the DHCP or Static configuration, depending on the DYNAMIC IP flag.
Changing Networking Settings
The network can be configured to use either DHCP or a static configuration. To enable DHCP:
NETWORK:↵
Dynamic IP: true↵
↵
To set a fixed IP address, supply all static parameters, thus:
NETWORK:↵
Dynamic IP: false↵
Static address: 192.168.2.2↵
Static netmask: 255.255.255.0↵
Static gateway: 192.168.2.1↵
↵
The parameters with the CURRENT prefix are read-only, and show the active configuration, regardless of the static or dynamic setting.
Changing the name, or any network settings, will cause the IP connection to be dropped. The SmartView or SmartScope will restart its networking and advertise its new name on
the network.
Changing Monitor Settings
The display settings for each monitor are specified individually. One or more parameters can be modified at the same time and multiple settings can be supplied in one block.
The valid range for numeric values is 0-255. The CONTRAST and SATURATION properties are zero-centered, so the normal value is 127, such that the displayed picture is the same as the original. A value greater than 127 in either channel will cause the contrast or saturation to be increased, and similarly a value less than 127 will cause a decrease.
For example, to set the brightness to 50% and desaturate the image to Black & White:
MONITOR A:↵
Brightness: 127↵
Saturation: 0↵
↵

Displaying SD in 16:9
The following command sets standard definition video to display in 16:9:
MONITOR A:↵
WidescreenSD: ON↵
Displaying SD in 4:3
The following command sets standard definition video to display in 4:3:
MONITOR A:↵
WidescreenSD: OFF↵
Identification and Tally Settings
The Identify flag is transient, and will cause a white border to be displayed around the entire picture for a duration of 15 seconds, after which it will be reset. This feature is primarily aimed at identifying which monitor is currently being configured when it is mounted in a rack comprising multiple units. To turn on:
MONITOR A:↵
Identify: true↵
↵
The IDENTIFY border will temporarily override any other border setting in effect.
The BORDER property can be used to programmatically set the soft Tally colored borders to one of the primary colors: RED, GREEN, BLUE, WHITE or NONE. This setting can be overridden by the electrical Tally signals at the DB-9 input on the monitor itself. For example, to set the soft Tally to green:
MONITOR B:↵
Border: green↵
↵
The hard wired tally will always override the soft tally. The full state report will always show the current valid border.
SmartScope Settings
On SmartScope Duo 4K, each monitor can be set to display a different scope. The values for activating specific scopes are mapped as follows:
AudioDbfs
AudioDbvu
Histogram
ParadeRGB
ParadeYUV
Picture (This is the same as Video Monitor)
Vector100
Vector75
WaveformLuma
MONITOR A:↵
ScopeMode: Picture↵
↵
In the example above, Monitor A has been set as a video monitor.

Displaying SD in 16:9
The set Video Monitor mode to display standard definition video in 16:9:

When setting one of SmartScope Duo 4K’s monitors to audio metering, you can also select which channels to show. The values for selecting which audio channels are mapped in the following way:
0: Channels 1 and 2
1: Channels 3 and 4
2: Channels 5 and 6
3: Channels 7 and 8
4: Channels 9 and 10
5: Channels 11 and 12
6: Channels 13 and 14
7: Channels 15 and 16
