Summary: In this paper, we introduce operator-valued weighted bi-shifts on the Hilbert space $l^2(\N,\h)$, of all square-summable sequences whose elements are in a complex Hilbert space $\h$, and study their spectral and local spectral properties. We determine the spectrum and its parts of such bi-shifts, and compute their local spectrum at most points of $l^2(\N,\h)$. Furthermore, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for an operator-valued weighted bi-shift to enjoy the single-valued extension property.
