High quality monitor with 2110 IP and 12G-SDI connections for SD, HD and Ultra HD up to 2160p60. Features 4K resolution LCD with focus peaking, framing guides, 3D LUTs as well as AC and 12V DC power.

Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G G3 Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G G3 is a powerful audio monitor that has amazing sound quality in a tiny 1RU size! That means it can be installed anywhere! The design is dominated by a large audio meter with accurate ballistics that can be changed between various audio metering standards. There's a 12G-SDI input for monitoring audio from professional video equipment. Plus the new model includes a 10G Ethernet SMPTE-2110 IP video input so you can connect to IP broadcast systems without an external converter. It also includes traditional balanced analog XLR, HiFi and AES/EBU audio inputs too! There's even an HDMI video output so you can monitor using large screen TV's or computer monitors!

Designed from aluminum machined metal, Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G is extremely strong yet also lightweight. The chassis is finished in deep black and anodized so it matches other equipment. Plus the all metal design eliminates acoustic vibration even at loud volumes. The two large audio meters have 27 levels with each segment individually machined into the aluminum chassis so there is absolutely no light bleed between segments, giving you an incredibly crisp looking meter. The front panel has buttons to solo each left or right channel, select between 12G-SDI, 2110 IP, AES/EBU, Analog or HiFi audio and to mute the speakers. There's a convenient headphone socket right on the front panel!

Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G gives you incredibly big sound in only 1 rack unit size! The audio monitor includes a very high powered amp so you can get the volume you need for clear audio monitoring in noisy environments such as live events. The secret is the dual subwoofer design that has the acoustic power to create rich deep bass sounds even within the limited rack size. The digital processor also adjusts multiple frequency bands to get a smooth flat frequency response. All this adds up to an incredible audio monitoring solution with amazing sound, but with a small size that fits into small broadcast trucks, fly away kits, transmission racks and control rooms.

The amazing audio meters on Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G have real analog style ballistics that correctly conform to audio meter standards. The secret is that each audio meter segment has an independent RGB LED which can be changed to any color required for different meter standards. Plus each segment is independently machined and isolated, so no light bleeds between segments. The meters can be changed between VU -20dBFS and -18dBFS, PPM EBU -20dBFS and -18dBFS, PPM BBC -20dBFS and -18dBFS, Loudness EBU +9 and +18 plus Loudness in K-weighting LUFS +9 and +18 scale. Adhesive labels are included so you can change the meter standard and then add the correct decal for the meter standard chosen.

The front panel of Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G includes a range of controls. Plus, you get more than audio monitoring because the built in LCD lets you monitor the 12G-SDI and 2110 IP video inputs. The LCD features additional status such as the input type selected, the video standard and the selected embedded audio pair from the video input. The LCD also displays the current audio level! The front panel also features a smooth headphone/speaker volume control. There are solo buttons to help you listen to either left or right audio. Plus the arrow keys let you select up and down the embedded audio channels. There's also an input select button and even a mute button!

One of the most exciting features of the Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G is the HDMI monitoring output. The HDMI output lets you use a large screen TV or a computer monitor as a broadcast monitor. The HDMI output is converted from the currently selected input, either 12G-SDI or the 2110 IP video inputs. There's even a 12G-SDI loop output, which also outputs the current selected video input. This means the SDI loop output can include video from either the SDI or 2110 IP video inputs. Plus you can monitor all embedded audio pairs from the video inputs.
