The Blackmagic Design SmartView 4K G3 is a third-generation, high-resolution 4K Ultra HD broadcast monitor designed for critical video monitoring in production, post-production, and live broadcast environments. It features a large, high-brightness, color-accurate LCD panel capable of displaying pristine 4K images, making it suitable for on-set focus pulling, color grading reference, and confidence monitoring in control rooms. The monitor is engineered with a comprehensive suite of professional monitoring tools, including waveform, vectorscope, histogram, and audio meters, all accessible through an intuitive touchscreen interface.

A key feature of the G3 model is its dual 12G-SDI input capability, allowing it to accept and monitor native 4K signals up to 60 frames per second without external converters. It also includes HDMI 2.0 inputs for flexible connectivity. The monitor supports advanced features like HDR (High Dynamic Range) monitoring in various formats, 3D LUT (Look-Up Table) loading for precise color emulation, and frame guides for different aspect ratios. Its built-in stereo speakers and headphone output provide audio monitoring alongside the video.

Housed in a robust metal enclosure with integrated mounting points, the SmartView 4K G3 is designed for rackmount, stand-mount, or wall-mount installation in demanding professional settings. Its responsive capacitive touchscreen allows for quick adjustment of settings and selection of monitoring overlays. By combining a high-quality 4K display with a powerful set of broadcast analysis tools in a single unit, this monitor provides an all-in-one solution for engineers and creatives who require reliable and detailed visual feedback.
