Decimator Design DMON-16S 16 Channel Multi-Viewer

Versatile 16-Channel Multi-Viewer for SDI and HDMI Signal Monitoring
The Decimator Design DMON-16S is a compact yet fully featured 1-to-16 channel multi-viewer and multiplexer designed for professional broadcast and video production environments. Built to handle 3G/HD/SD-SDI signals with linked HDMI and SDI outputs, this all-in-one unit supports flexible monitoring setups with low latency buffering and customizable display layouts. Whether you're working in OB vans, live production studios, or control rooms, this unit provides reliable video signal display from up to 16 SDI sources simultaneously.

Support for Mixed SDI Video Formats With Automatic Signal Detection
With 16 individual SDI inputs, the DMON-16S supports a mix of 3G, HD, and SD video signals. Each input can run a different format or frame rate, and the unit will auto-detect and sync them independently—making it ideal for environments where multiple cameras or playback systems operate with varied specifications. Its low-latency architecture also allows for smooth monitoring even when working with non-synchronous inputs.

Customizable Layouts and Overlays for Tailored Monitoring Setups
The DMON-16S offers full flexibility when it comes to screen configuration. You can use one of several standard layouts or load custom display arrangements tailored to your production workflow. Each window is independent and supports custom positioning, aspect ratios, and overlays. Visual aids like UMD (under monitor display) labeling, audio metering, safe action/title zones, and center cross markers can be individually enabled and adjusted per window for high-precision monitoring.

Integrated Tallies and GPI Functionality for Live Production Cues
Designed with live switching environments in mind, the DMON-16S features support for up to four tally indicators per window, with customizable positioning inside or outside the action area. It includes a 37-pin D-SUB connector for 32 GPI inputs, giving you full external tally control. Tally box color support includes green, red, blue, and yellow for detailed cueing and clear signal indication. RS422/485 support via the same connector allows TSL protocol control for dynamic UMD and tally data integration.

Full-Screen and Pass-Through Modes With Fast Input Switching
The DMON-16S not only operates as a multi-viewer but also as a fast input switcher and signal pass-through router. Any of the 16 inputs can be routed to the SDI and HDMI outputs independently, and fast switching allows full-screen monitoring when needed. You can also select output resolution and format for both full-screen and multi-view modes to match your monitor or downstream workflow.

Onboard LCD Menu System for Standalone Operation Without a Computer
Unlike older designs that rely on DIP switches or software-based setup, the DMON-16S includes an intuitive LCD display and button interface for fast configuration changes on the fly. From layout selection to input routing, nearly every feature is accessible directly from the device—making it perfect for portable use, mobile rigs, or rapid deployment where carrying a laptop isn’t ideal.

Built for Durability With Professional-Grade Hardware Design
Housed in a heavy-duty metal enclosure with a locking DC power socket, this unit is built to survive the demands of the field. It includes all essential accessories such as an HDMI cable, USB cable, and power supply, ensuring you're ready to integrate it into your workflow right out of the box. Whether mounted in a flight case or used in a fixed rack, the DMON-16S provides performance and reliability trusted by professionals worldwide.
