Featuring 12 independent 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs, the DECIMATOR DMON-12S 12-Channel Multi-Viewer SDI HDMIcan be used either as a 1-to-12-channel multi-viewer or 12-to-1-input multiplexer supporting up to 1080p@60/59.94/50Hz on input and output. A miniature multi-viewer with front-panel LCD menu access, the DMON-12S is suitable for both on-location and studio applications, as you won't need to use a computer or DIP switch to make selections and adjust settings.

The DMON-12S offers 16-channel audio metering overlay per window with individual enables, custom positioning, and size, and it features 2 3G/HD/SD-SDI outputs and 1 HDMI output. RS-422 and RS-485 support additionally allow you to select tally display and control the UMD position and size.

Multi-View output mode lets you select and display inputs with different formats and frame rates at the same time, and Pass-Through mode allows any of the 12 inputs to be selected for output via the SDI and HDMI outputs. You can select from preset display layouts or create and save your own custom layouts, and with up to 32 GPI you can interface with additional devices for tally and remote switching.

[SDI] We use these units on AV productions and they work great. Solid and dependable. I use the software to program them. I feel it is faster and you see more then the window on the units 5

[2.785 lb] Galore! 5

Justin	08/09/2024
[4 RU] Does what it says and then some. While there are a lot of configurations that can be setup through the display, setting the unit up with the configuration software allows for a seemingly infinite number of custom configurations. 5

[4 RU] I have 2 Komodo cams and needed a way to feed them both into my Osee monitor and switch between them when needed. While this is definitely easier to use with the software it is also very functional in standalone mode. It does not take much time to wrap your head around using it without the software. It can feed out in multiple ways without any issues and cameras of different frame rates work with any problems. It is an excellent solution that does not get in the way on set. 5

David	07/08/2024
[SDI] Unbelievably good product. Can be used in so many different ways, not just as a multi-viewer, although it excels at that too. Very very cool. My only complaint, and it's not really a complaint, is that there isn't a GUI for creating new custom layouts. It's not difficult to create them, but you have to type in numbers. Just inconvenient. Oh yeah, and not very good documentation for the computer control software. 5

[4 RU] I first got the BMD Multiviewer 4 and it did the job but the picture edges were being obscured by the LCD bezel. Then I got this little wonder! This would let me reduce the incoming picture area so that I can see the full picture from all cameras. Then I can reroute the inputs, rename the windows, change colors of border, text, background and so much more! Unbelievable set of customization pages for the same price as the BMD. Use your computer to customize. I can resize the picture in 1% increments. Takes a while to calculate the numbers that will utilize the maximum area of my monitor but once done it is a pleasure to use this. See picture of my settings for an Acer 22 LCD. 5

[SDI] Extremely pleased. Built like a tank and easy to use. Very user friendly. 5

[2.785 lb] The features of the Decimator DMON QUAD is absolutely incredible. I have my three cinema cameras hooked up to it and Im outputting to a older pc monitor. I own several monitors but wanted to make use of a older DVI only input monitor so bought a dvi to hdmi cable. At first the monitor wouldnt recognize the signal but the Decimator has a selectable output option one of which is DVI. Who would have thought? Works like a charm. I havent yet connected the Decimator to my pc to create custom window layouts but the default layouts are perfect for what I need. The Decimator DMON QUAD outputs 1080p or lower resolutions. Thats not a problem at all! All of my recording is done in camera or on a dedicated recorder at higher resolutions. I purchased the Decimator as a multiview for a directors monitor. I can choose between having fullscreen for any input and switching between them or having two, three, or four screens up all at once. I can also choose to have one large and two small, etc. This is all through the buttons on the front of the device and come as default. There are endless settings in there for input and output, framerate and everything else. They thought of everything. The compatibility is amazing. I was amazed to find that there is virtually no lag from my cameras to the monitor. Even when all screens are up. Everything displays in realtime. You can tell they used quality electronics inside the device. The device itself is made out of aluminum and is extremely durable and very well built. I originally thought it was made of red plastic until I received it. The features and settings suit any and every situation. 5
