This makes the SmartView 4K G3 an ideal solution for broadcasting, supporting both 12G-SDI and 2110 IP up to 2160p60. For live production, the monitor offers essential features for accurate camera monitoring, including focus peaking, zoom, aspect ratio markers, and tally.

The 4K display provides incredibly fine camera image detail, ensuring the highest quality output. The SmartView 4K G3 is also perfect for fly away kits, thanks to its lightweight aluminum construction and compact design. It's only a few inches deep, allowing for excellent rack ventilation via natural convection. The monitor's design is anodized in deep black, giving it a sleek and professional look. It features a range of button controls that are slightly tilted for ease of use. All video connections are located at the rear of the monitor, and there's even a VESA mounting point for added convenience.

The high-resolution LCD screen displays every pixel in an Ultra HD image, resulting in a clean image with deep color fidelity. To avoid fingerprints on the screen, the monitor includes a row of buttons for adjusting all controls without touching the screen. The SmartView 4K G3 is designed for broadcast, so it instantly locks to a new video source. Unlike TVs, the video is not overscanned, so you get all image pixels right to the edge of the LCD. The monitor also supports a wide range of SD, HD, and 2K DCI film standards, as well as Ultra HD and 4K DCI film standards.

This makes the SmartView 4K G3 a future-proof investment, as it can be updated with new television standards as they are developed.
