INTRODUCTION TO VZ-MV802 MULTIVIEWERS
The ViewZ VZ-MV802 Multiviewer platform displays multiple auto-detecting video inputs at different
formats on a high resolution display up to resolutions of 2048x1080. The VZ-MV802 Platform
combines the display of video windows, audio meters, label/UMD, tallies, alarms and indicators in a
very space efficient package.
HARDWARE
The ViewZ VZ-MVxxx Multiviewer Platform consists of 2 different sizes of mechanical frames to serve
the needs of broadcast, professional AV and surveillance markets. Each multiviewer frame has a
unique IP address, which allows a PC/laptop to easily connect and configure the display layouts.

7
