AVPro Edge AC-MV-41 4K 4x1 Multi-viewer

Product Overview

The AVPro Edge AC-MV-41 is a professional 4-input, 1-output HDMI multiviewer that displays up to four 4K sources simultaneously on a single display. It supports quad-split, picture-in-picture, side-by-side, and full-screen viewing modes, making it the practical choice for control room monitoring, broadcast production, and multi-source presentation environments. At 4K resolution with HDR support, each windowed source maintains sharp, usable image quality rather than the soft or artifact-laden output common in lower-cost multiviewers. Audio extraction and selectable audio source output give operators control over which source is heard, independent of the display layout.

Product Description

The AC-MV-41 accepts four HDMI sources simultaneously and composites them onto a single 4K HDMI output without requiring a separate scaler or compositor. The device supports multiple layout modes — quad view (four equal windows), picture-in-picture with a selectable main source, side-by-side, and full-screen single source — switchable from the front panel, IR remote, RS-232, or IP. Each viewing mode maintains the source aspect ratio and delivers a clean, correctly scaled window on the output display. The output resolution is 4K60 4:4:4 with HDR, so the composited view looks sharp on large-format 4K monitors and video walls. Audio extraction is built in, allowing the operator to select which source's audio plays on the output regardless of the video layout. Control is available via front panel buttons, included IR remote, RS-232, and IP, with rack-mount hardware included for 1U installation.

Key Features

• 4 HDMI Inputs, 1 HDMI Output — displays four sources simultaneously on a single 4K monitor or display.
• Multiple Viewing Modes — quad-split, picture-in-picture, side-by-side, and full-screen single-source modes selectable on the fly.
• 4K60 4:4:4 Output with HDR — the composited output is full 4K resolution, delivering sharp windowed images suitable for monitoring and production use.
• Independent Audio Selection — select any input's audio for output regardless of the active video layout; audio follows operator selection, not video routing.
• Multiple Control Interfaces — front panel, IR remote, RS-232, and IP control for integration with control systems and remote management.
• Seamless Layout Switching — switch between viewing modes without signal dropout or display blanking.
• Compact 1U Rack-Mountable Design — fits standard rack installations in control rooms, server rooms, and AV equipment racks.
• No External Scaler Required — built-in scaling handles mixed source resolutions, compositing them cleanly at 4K output.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast production control rooms monitoring multiple camera feeds, playback servers, and program outputs on a single reference monitor
• Network operations centers (NOCs) displaying multiple system status feeds simultaneously for operators
• Corporate AV and conference rooms showing laptop, camera, and presentation sources on a single large display for comparison or review
• University and training facilities displaying instructor content, remote participants, and reference material simultaneously
• Sports facilities and arenas monitoring multiple camera angles or security feeds on a single display

Frequently Asked Questions

Can all four sources be displayed at the same time in 4K?

Yes. In quad-split mode, all four sources are displayed simultaneously as equal-sized windows on the 4K output. Each window is scaled proportionally to fit its quadrant while the output to the display is full 4K resolution.

Can I switch which source is full-screen without losing the multiview layout?

Yes. The AC-MV-41 supports seamless mode switching. You can move between full-screen and quad-split views without the display blanking or the other sources losing sync in the background.

How does audio selection work when in quad-view mode?

Audio selection is independent of the video layout. You can select any of the four sources for audio output regardless of whether you are in quad view, PiP, or full-screen mode. The audio source is controlled separately via front panel, IR, or control system command.

Is this a switcher or a multiviewer?

It is a multiviewer — all four sources are displayed simultaneously in a windowed layout. Competitors like the Kramer VS-41UHD and Extron IN1604 are switchers, meaning only one source is displayed at a time. The AC-MV-41 is the appropriate tool when you need to monitor or compare multiple sources simultaneously.

What control systems does this integrate with?

The AC-MV-41 supports RS-232 and IP (TCP/IP) command interfaces, which are compatible with most commercial control systems including Crestron, Control4, AMX, and similar platforms. IR control is also supported for simpler setups.

What happens if a source is disconnected in quad-view mode?

When a source input is not connected or loses signal, that window on the display will show a blank or no-signal indication while the other three sources continue to display normally.
