Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the DMON‐6S 6 Channel (3G/HD/SD)‐SDI Multi‐Viewer with HDMI and SDI outputs.
The DMON‐6S is a truly portable converter, which incorporates our new easy to use LCD and button control
system. This gives you easy access to most of the amazing features that have been unavailable without a
computer until now. The days of having to play with complicated dip switches or having to carry around a
computer to change a simple setting are gone.

 Low cost miniature (3G/HD/SD)‐SDI 1 to 6 channel Multi‐Viewer or 6 to 1 input multiplexer
