MV-1200 Series Standalone Multiviewers

The MV-1200 Series of standalone multiviewers are designed as a flexible, cost-effective solution for multi-image displays. Models MV-1216, MV-1232 and MV-1248 are standalone systems that allows the configuration of multiple multiviewer outputs within a single frame. The MV-1232-RTR model is a high-performance enterprise-grade multiviewer, equipped with dual 32x32 crosspoints to deliver exceptional flexibility and adaptability:

  • Multiviewer Crosspoint: Allows any source to access any scaler, enabling the creation of complex layouts without video blocking, even in the most demanding configurations.
  • Second Crosspoint: Operates as a conventional...
