Sierra Video

Introduction

The compact Sm-xx series multi-viewer enables up to 8, 12, or 16 (depending on model)

channels of video to be viewed on a single display device. There are auto-sensing inputs

for composite video, SDI and HD-SDI. In addition there is provision for component

RGB/YUV or S-Video and two DVI-I video inputs. Up to 3G 1080p is supported.

The SM-xx is designed to optimize monitoring flexibility within the multi-channel video

environment, whether used for video production, television broadcast or CCTV. It is

supplied as a 1U rack mounting frame with an optional remote control panel. It is easily

controlled from a PC web browser hosted by the frame itself, either directly via an

Ethernet cable or over a network.

System Concept

Each video input card handles up to 4 channels. Additionally, if external audio functionally

is required, audio input or output cards may be fitted. The diagram below shows the

overall concept.
