Common layouts are two sources as picture-in-picture or side by side, and four sources in a quad split. It is how one monitor on a desk can show four camera feeds at once, which saves buying and mounting four separate screens.
It is often confused with switching, but the two do different jobs. A switcher picks one source at a time to send to the programme output. Multiview is a monitoring layout. It shows several sources together so an operator can see what is available before cutting to it. Many production setups use both: a multiview output to watch all the cameras, and a separate clean programme output that shows only the source currently selected. Multiview is also useful away from production, for example to watch several rooms or feeds from one desk.
Three of our Pro Convert IP decoders build a multiview directly from network streams, with no PC. Each offers three layouts: single screen, picture-in-picture for two streams, and quad screen for four streams, each up to 1080p60. The IP to HDMI model outputs up to 2560×1440 at 60 fps. The IP to HDMI 4K model raises the HDMI output to 4Kp60. The IP to AIO 4K model adds a 12G-SDI output alongside 4Kp60 HDMI. In quad view the four streams must be H.264 or H.265, for example NDI HX2, NDI HX3, SRT or RTMP. Full NDI (NDI High Bandwidth) is decoded in single-screen view.
