Kiloview FN-8 | Professional NDI to 3G-SDI Decoder Module
459,00 €
The Kiloview FN-8 is a professional decoder module that converts NDI IP streams into high-fidelity 3G-SDI physical signals. Designed for high-density racks, it supports Full NDI and NDI|HX with minimal latency. It is the key component for monitoring and distributing network signals within traditional SDI infrastructures with complete operational reliability.
The Kiloview FN-8 is the ultimate output module (decoder) for studios that need to convert IP video streams into physical 3G-SDI signals with the utmost precision. This broadcast-grade device allows any NDI source from the network to be received and delivered to traditional monitors, switchers or matrix systems. Consequently, the Kiloview FN-8 is the essential tool for integrating the flexibility of the IP world into existing SDI infraestructures, ensuring minimal latency and total operational stability during critical broadcast.
Engineering Specifications and Output processing
This module stands out for its hardware architecture designed specifically for image reconstruction without any loss of quality:
- High-definition 3G-SDI output: Supports resolutions up to 1080p60, ensuring compatibility with international broadcast standards.
- Multi-protocol decoding: Capable of processing Full NDI and NDI|HX (2.0 and 3.0) streams, as well as other common IP protocols.
- Modular Hot-Swap Design: Fully compatible with the RU01 and RN03 rack chassis, enabling centralised management alongside other modules.
- Professional Audio Output: Manages the audio embedded in the NDI stream and delivers it in sync via the SDI connection.
- Ultra-low decoding latency: Optimised to minimise the delay between the network signal and the physical output, ideal for real-time monitoring.
- Tally and Metadata Management: Supports visual indicators to show the status of the source on the recording set.
Quick guide to efficient commissioning
Configuring your egress node with the Kiloview FN-8 is a straightforward process that makes it easy to expand your IP infrastructure:
- Installation in the chassis: Slide the module into an empty slot in your Kiloview rack. The Kiloview FN-8 will receive power and network management via the internal bus.
- Destination Connection: Connect an SDI cable from the module’s output to your reference monitor, matrix or video switcher.
- Selecting the IP Source: Log in to the chassis web interface and select which NDI source on the network this specific module should decode.
- Scaling Settings: Configure the output resolution to match the exact requirements of your SDI receiving equipment.
- Signal Monitoring: Ensures that the video and audio are delivered with the smoothness and synchronisation required for your workflow.
Technical innovation and operational versatility
This module is designed to address the need for ‘output points’ in complex NDI setups. By centralising decoding within a professional rack, the unit eliminates the need for multiple external decoders with individual power supplies. Furthermore, the Kiloview FN-8 ensures that any signal travelling over the IP network can be displayed or processed by conventional SDI hardware with complete technical transparency.
Conclusion on this modular system
In short, this output converter redefines the integration of digital and analogue technology in the professional studio. Its robust build and ease of configuration make ir a smart investment for IP monitoring workflows. Furthermore, the proven reliability of the Kiloview FN-8 ensures that your productions benefit form stable video outputs of the highest broadcast quality.
