The N6 NDI Converter is a full-function device that supports NDI and NDI|HX encoding and decoding. It is the first NDI converter in the market that is based on the latest NDI 5 technology. It is designed for IP-based post- production video output to screen, low latency transmission, and video conferences.

Advantages

  • NDI and NDI|HX Encoding + Decoding, All-in-One
  • Plug-and-play operation, simple Web UI management
  • HDMI input and encode both NDI for production and NDI|HX for monitoring, and loop through NDI or NDI|HX decoding with HDMI output
  • Preset 9 sources output and a USB keyboard for switching optional or control a PTZ camera
  • Support 3.5mm analog audio line in/out or embedded audio as well as Mic in
  • Support voice intercom between all Kiloview devices and the control PC/phone, or with Kiloview Intercom server
  • Support PTZ control through USB to serial RS232/485/422 and PTZ control over IP with different protocols, no extra cable required

Descriptions

The first full function NDI converter on the planet
Kiloview N6 HDMI/NDI converter is a bi-directional converter that supports up to 1080p60 HDMI input (encoder) to both NDI for production and NDI|HX for monitoring at the same time, with loop through for view on monitor as well; or HDMI video output (decoder) from NDI and NDI|HX. This is the first NDI converter based on NDI SDK 5.0 which can handle both NDI and NDI|HX, encoding and decoding. Featured with powerful functions such as PoE, built-in big tally light, PTZ control, 3.5mm audio line in/out, intercom functions, N6 is the easiest way to get access to the fabulous NDI world with versatile choices.

Note

  1. With the current NDI SDK 5 performance, according to our test, N6 Full NDI encoding can just support up to 1080P25 currently. But we’ve been optimizing this problem and pretty soon, it will be able to do 1080P60, for both Full NDI and NDI|HX encoding decoding.
  2. N6 cannot support interlaced formats in this version. We will update if there any new information
