+1 on 3G not available being annoying. Also weird: Only the SDI output can be switched to 1080i50, the HDMI output is always 2160p25 or 2160p30.
Unfortunately the Multiview HD doesn't have a network interface, so you can't control it. We use the Multiview 4 for the preview monitor of our PTZ camera operators (a Skaarhoj device uses the GPO/Tally output of the PTZ controller and lets us switch the multiview between 2x2 and fullscreen and also "follow" the camera selection on the PTZ controller to show the selected camera in full screen).
The decimator Multiviews have a GPIO interface too (RJ45 plug) and a similar setup works, however the decimators are very slow when you switch between sources in full screen (several frames of black) and the multiview being HD only is a disadvantage (bc. we want the camera operators to be able to judge also in 2x2 multiview mode if each camera is in focus).
