User Manual
Descriptions
Kiloview N50 is a full-functional NDI converter that uses the leading FPGA
technologies, advanced-level AVC/HEVC algorithm, and NDI algorithm. It
supports encoding/decoding within one unit which meets all your demands
regarding IP-based video transmission.
N50 supports 12G-SDI format encoding/decoding of both NDI High-bandwidth and
NDIIHX2/3 by H.264/H.265.
Features
- Built-in LCD panel + scroll-wheel
- USB 3.0 for Web Cam input
- Cold-shoe and V-mount
- Local storage with TF card
- Ultra Low latency transmission
- PTZ control via USB
Advantages
NDI and NDI|HX, Encoding + Decoding, All-in-One
- Plug-and-play operation, simple Web UI management
- 12G SDI input and encode to both NDI and NDI|HX2 & NDI|HX3
- NDI or NDI|HX2 or NDI|HX3 decoding to 12G SDI output
- Support video input from Web Cam via USB 3.0 expansion, or connection to PC via USB as input
Lower Latency, Better Image Quality
- End to end latency less than 80ms for full NDI
- Support YCbCr 4:2:2 10bit for encoding and decoding, enjoy professional image quality
Note: N50 can be used as either an encoder or a decoder but not
simultaneously currently. Please note our update when simultaneous working is
available.
