KILOVIEW N50 12G-SDI/USB TO NDI BI-DIRECTIONAL CONVERTER

The Ultimate 12G-SDI/USB to NDI Bi-Directional Converter

NDI & NDI|HX. Encoding & Decoding. All-in-One Solution

Meet the Comprehensive NDI Converter - Kiloview N50

Kiloview N50 is the all-in-one NDI converter that leverages cutting-edge FPGA technologies, advanced AVC/HEVC algorithms, and NDI algorithms. This powerful device handles both encoding and decoding within a single unit, fulfilling all your requirements for IP-based video transmission. N50 supports 12G-SDI format encoding and decoding for both NDI High-bandwidth and NDI|HX2/3 using H.264/H.265.

Ultra-Low Latency Encoding & Decoding

In encoding mode, the N50 effortlessly transforms a 4K 12G-SDI video signal into NDI and NDI|HX streams. In decoding mode, it seamlessly adapts to NDI and NDI|HX formats, catering to your specific needs. N50 ensures a smooth NDI transmission with an impressively low latency of less than 80ms.

Professional-Grade Color Performance

N50 boasts support for the professional YCbCr 4:2:2 color space and a 10-bit color depth, although the common 8-bit color depth is also available. With these features, N50 delivers superior color and image quality that meets the rigorous standards of the broadcast and medical industries.

Built-In LCD Screen and Scroll Wheel

Much like its sibling, the Kiloview N60, the N50 prioritizes user experience. It features a large color LCD screen for users to access unit parameters anytime, anywhere. The screen can also serve as a convenient tally indicator, working in conjunction with the small tally on the back panel, providing real-time PVW or PGM status checks for field personnel. The scroll wheel empowers users to customize settings, toggle on/off functions, establish quick shortcuts, and effortlessly control all video sources.

USB Extension

N50 offers both USB 3.0 Type-A and USB 3.0 Type-C interfaces, opening doors to various possibilities:

- Use USB 3.0 Type-A for connecting a web camera as a video input source for encoding.
- Employ USB 3.0 Type-C to connect to a PC for USB video input.
- Control PTZ cameras through USB expansion.

These USB extensions seamlessly integrate NDI technology into applications like video conferencing, image processing, and PTZ camera control.

Audio and Intercom

N50 supports 12G-SDI embedded audio and 3.5mm analog audio encoding/decoding. It also accommodates an extended USB audio interface, such as a USB headset, enabling real-time intercom between Kiloview device operators and the associated Kiloview Intercom System (KIS) group.

PTZ Control

N50 supports PTZ control through USB to serial RS-232/RS-485/RS-422. It also embraces network control protocols (e.g., Sony Visca/PELCO-D/PELCO-P) for external PTZ control.

Versatile Power Supply Options

N50 offers two Ethernet interfaces, with one supporting PoE (IEEE 802.3AT) power supply. By simply connecting a network cable, you can access both power and network transmission. It also supports a DC 12V power supply, allowing you to power the device using a portable charger or camera battery.

TF Storage

N50 provides TF storage expansion for encoding NDI video recording directly onto a TF card (local recording supports MOV format). This feature ensures your recording process remains uninterrupted, even in the face of network delays, interruptions, or fluctuations.

Central Management with Kilolink Server

N50 seamlessly connects to the Kilolink Server, optimizing media transmission across all Kiloview products through available network links. This central management solution streamlines device management, monitoring, and control throughout the entire workflow.

Compatible with Leading Tools

N50 seamlessly integrates with popular tools such as TriCaster, vMix, OBS, and more. This flexibility allows you to carry out your video production anytime, anywhere.
