Details

The Kiloview N4 HDMI / NDI Bidirectional Converter lets you easily add your HDMI output camera into an NDI network. Mount the N4 on your camera's accessory shoe, connect your camera's HDMI output to the N4, and connect the N4 to your NDI network to enjoy all the advantages of NDI. The N4 features an HDMI output, which is either a loopthrough output while the N4 is encoding the input HDMI signal, or an output for when you use the N4 as a decoder. The N4 supports Tally signals and has a large Tally indicator. In addition, it supports PTZ camera control via IP, allowing you to use older PTZ cameras that feature HDMI output and supports RS-232 signals.

Power the N4 with a dedicated power supply or from your camera, via the USB Type-C port, or over PoE, making it simple to plug-and-play. In addition to encoding up to 1080P60 video for use over your NDI network, the N4 can also be designated as a webcam, allowing you to easily use the camera with remote video applications. An audio jack can be used to input analog audio or a headphone that supports mic in. The N4 can also be used off camera to decode the NDI stream back to HDMI, for display on an HDMI monitor.

NDI Basics

The NDI protocol is a high-performance standard that enables anyone to use real-time, ultra-low latency video on existing IP video networks. The Kiloview N4 supports bidirectional conversion between 1080p60 HDMI and Full NDI. It can both encode 1080p60 HDMI signals into a Full NDI stream for output and decode Full NDI stream and output 1080p60 HDMI on your screen.

Use on Camera or in Rack

The flexibility of the N4 allows you to use it on camera, for instant conversion of your camera's HDMI output (up to 1080p60) to NDI, while supporting Tally, for integrating your camera into a multi-camera production. In addition, you can use the same N4 unit in a rackmount situation.

Encode & Decode

This tiny device can do both NDI encoding and decoding, so you get two for the price of one. Changing the working mode on the UI to the mode you want via its Web based GUI. Please note that the N4's encoding and decoding functions are mutually exclusive, and cannot be used at the same time.

Control with a USB Keypad

In decoder mode, you can preset the NDI sources from number 0-9. When your keypad is ready, you can easily choose the output source with a single press. Additionally, you can even use the USB Keypad to control a PTZ camera for a cost-efficient PTZ Keyboard.

PTZ Control and Big-Sized Tally

The Kiloview N4 supports PTZ control through USB to serial RS232/485/422. It also supports PTZ control over IP with no extra cable required. The N4 has a large, bright, and distinct Tally light for PVW/PGM indication.

Power and Data

With PoE, the N4 can be powered with a single cable connection. With the design of wide DC input range from 5 to 18V, it can also be easily powered by USB power or camera battery.
