 Multi-View
All Slate systems include Fluent Multi-View, which provides more comprehensive monitoring than any multi-view system. Unlike conventional multi-views that only provide monitoring of sources and program and preview outputs, Fluent Multi-View also includes a wide variety of file-based and other workflow tools.
Monitoring Every Slate includes on-screen monitoring of preview, program, keys and sources. Live inputs and clips have motion, and other sources use thumbnails. All live inputs are in full motion on the Slate 100 and 1000, while 7 are in full motion on larger models. They tally red on air, and orange on preview.
Unique Workflow Features Unlike conventional multi-views, Slate provides unprecedented feedback to the switcher operator. No other multi-view monitors the contents of keyers. Thumbnails of any channel of clip or graphics store are displayed in a PixPad that corresponds to the control panel’s PixPad, and attributes are shown like whether a clip has been set to auto-start. There are clocks, a stop-watch clip counters and title safe zone overlays. And you are notified when new content arrives in Slate’s watch-folders from other parts of your studio.
Use Any Size Monitor Slate supports a wide variety of VGA monitors. Most users prefer a personal monitor for the switcher operator. You can also plug in a wall monitor: 1920x1080, 1440x900, 1366x768 or 1680x1050. You can customize your layout using powerful tools that can resize any individual monitor and align them.
Dual or Quad Monitors for More Operators All Slate switchers support dual monitors, so when you want a separate graphic station just add a monitor for the CG, and open a SoftPanel, a PixPad library, and even full motion source monitors. The quad-monitor option (option 340) enables you to connect up to four monitors, as shown below.

"The Slate HD provides a lot of flexibility. It helps with computer integration and allows for multiple levels of control. With it, we are able to have a double broadcast, one to the internet and one to the videoboard."
