DECIMATOR MC-DMON-9S 9-Channel Multiviewerlets you view up to nine sources on a single monitor in an openGear form factor. Useful in studio or A/V situations which employ openGear cards, the MC-DMON-9S can accept 9 SDI inputs of the SD, HD, or 3G variety. Each input auto-detects what kind of signal is being received in order to properly scale it to the monitor. Multiple viewing modes are built-in and recallable, and you can use Decimator's USB control panel to save and load custom presets.

Q: 1. Can you recommend a good video on how to use the menu on the DMON-QUAD without hooking it up to a computer?

A: Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive video online of the DECIMATOR DMON-QUAD 4-Channel 3G-SDI Multiviewer walk-through about the menu adjustment via the device itself. The manual explains the various functions and can be viewed here, https://bit.ly/36Ri3Vr

Q: 2. Can I feed two video signals and get a half and half left to right screen display?

A: Hi James, This is Jules from Symbiosis, Decimator's Master Distributor for your territory. The DMON-QUAD allows you to create custom layouts that will let you resize and reposition the windows in a multi view. You can have any number of windows up to the number of inputs, in this case four. So it's straightforward to create a layout that puts two windows on screen next to each other centred vertically. The pictures will retain their aspect ratios so you will have some black space above and below the windows. I hope this helps. Jules

Q: 3. Can I output the camera shot(s) from the HDMI out (or SDI out) from the DECIMATOR DMON-QUAD to Zoom, via a Macbook Air with USB3 ports (with an HDMI to USB3 connector) or via a MacBook Pro M1 (with an HDMI to USB-C connector)? Or do I need some other device (like a Magewell USB Capture SDI Plus, One-Channel 2K Capture Device) to send the camera image(s) to zoom?

A: To have the HDMI or the 3G-SDI multiview output on the DECIMATOR DMON-QUAD 4-Channel 3G-SDI Multiviewer captured into a computer, one must use an HDMI or 3G-SDI to USB capture device. See capture device example below: https://bhpho.to/34DuVNB

Q: 4. can I run 1 input and have 1 output via hdmi and 1 outtput via sdi at the same time?

A: Yes, the four SDI inputs can be output simultaneously over the HDMI or SDI outputs.

Q: 5. Could this be used as a mini switcher? Needing to be able to go between two inputs using the buttons on the decimator without any break in signal to the output.

A: No. That would not be recommended, as this is not wired like a proper switcher and you will more than likely have a break in signal when switching from one source to the other.

Q: 6. Can any or all of the four inputs be resized or moved around? I am looking to creat custom layouts for live viewing purposes of multiple cameras at once. A simple quad won't always do. For instance, I may just want one large main image with a smaller image in the top corner, but not overlapping the main. or a main image with three smaller ones on the right.

A: Hi There, This is Jules from Product Support at Symbiosis, the master distributor for Decimator in North America and Europe. The four hardware inputs can be routed to any of four windows, which can be resized and repositioned to any size or location as long as they comply with the following rules: The windows need to fit within the overall dimensions of the output resolution in use and only Window 1 can have other windows overlapping it. I hope this helps but if you would like more information or need a hand setting it up when it arrives feel free to contact us at support@symbiosis.com. Kind Regards Jules

Q: 7. Does anyone know if this device will de-embed audio when using this as a SDI to HDMI converter? I know there are smaller/cheaper products that do this but I like the versatility of having a multiviewer as well.

A: Hi Andrew, This is Jules from product support at Symbiosis, Decimator's master distributor for your region. The DMON-Quad will pass embedded audio from any of the four inputs to both SDI and HDMI outputs. When in multi-viewer mode, you can select which input's audio is passed to the outputs. When viewing an input as full-screen the audio from that input is passed. It does not have a separate audio only output. I hope this helps but if you need more information please feel free to contact us on support@symbiosis.com. Kind regards Jules

Q: 8. Can I input 2x alexa mini LF outputting 4k signals and will it convert it into 1080p60 for live streaming to clients?

A: This cannot take a 4K signal.

Q: 9. Can this take PAL as an input?

A: Yes, the DMON-QUAD 4-Channel Multiviewer does accept PAL format signals, such as 1080p resolution at 50 fps.

Q: 10. Does this come with a power cable?

A: Hi Jose, This is Jules from product support at Symbiosis, Decimator's master distributor for your region. The DMON-Quad ships with a worldwide power supply in the box, it has a locking DC plug to connect to the DMON-Quad. I hope this helps. Kind regards Jules
