SWIT 21.5″ Quad-Link HDR Production Monitor: Critical Field and Studio Monitoring
The SWIT 21.5″ Quad-Link HDR Production Monitor is engineered as the centerpiece for critical image evaluation in high-end 4K/UHD and HDR broadcast environments. Designed for DIT carts, control rooms, and post-production suites, this monitor combines a large, high-fidelity 21.5-inch panel with advanced signal handling capabilities, offering the assurance of technical precision and stunning visual accuracy required for professional workflows.
Quad-Link 4K Signal Handling
The core professional feature of this monitor is its Quad-Link 4K capability. This allows the monitor to accept a single uncompressed 4K or UHD signal via four simultaneous 3G-SDI inputs, a standard requirement in many modern 4K broadcasting and cine camera setups. Beyond 4K monitoring, the Quad-Link flexibility also enables the monitor to function as a powerful Quad View tool, displaying four independent 3G/HD-SDI sources simultaneously for efficient multi-camera or multi-feed surveillance.
Critical Color and Image Fidelity
The 21.5-inch panel provides generous screen real estate for collaborative viewing and critical focus pulling. It boasts exceptional color performance, typically offering 10-bit color depth and a wide color gamut that accurately displays standards like DCI-P3 and Rec. 709. The monitor provides crucial support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) workflows, allowing operators to accurately view and assess footage shot in various log formats (S-Log3, C-Log, etc.) and HDR standards like HLG and PQ, ensuring precise exposure and color decisions are made on set.
Professional Monitoring Tools and I/O
Built for technical accuracy, the SWIT 21.5″ monitor includes a full suite of essential monitoring tools. Filmmakers and video engineers can rely on integrated Waveform, Vectorscope, and Histogram displays for real-time signal analysis. Other key features include Focus Assist, False Color, Tally Lights, and customizable User LUT support. With multiple 3G/HD-SDI and HDMI inputs/outputs, the monitor easily integrates into complex signal chains, while its robust construction makes it ideal for either stand mounting or 19-inch rack installations in mobile production units.
