Flexibility, compact form factor, and operation without a computer make the Decimator DMON-6S 6 Channel Multiviewer with HDMI & SDI Outputs a valuable tool on location and in the studio. The unit can be used as either a one to six-channel Multiviewer or as a six-to-one input multiplexer. It supports six independent SDI inputs with active loop-through outputs, or you can view all six inputs on one optional monitor. You can also Multiplex the 6 input signals, allowing you to transmit the six SDI signals over a single output. It supports audio embedded in the SDI stream and supports RS422/485 protocols that allow you to select tally display and control UMD (under monitor display) position and size.

The built-in LCD menu screen and control buttons, allows you to access menu functions without needing to connect to an external computer or utilize DIP switches for settings. The multiview output supports and displays inputs with different formats and frame rates at the same time, and the pass-through mode allows any of the six inputs to be selected for output via the SDI and HDMI outputs. you can select from premade display layouts or create and save your own custom layouts, and with up to 32 GPI, you can interface with optional devices for tally and remote switching.
