Kiloview RF02 | 1U High-Density NDI Rack Server
2.999,00 €
The Kiloview RF02 is a 1U rack-mounted server designed for the professional management of high-density NDI modules. Equipped with dual redundant power supplies and an active cooling system, it provides a secure and organised platform for IP video infrastructures. As such, it is the key component for centralising and protecting your NDI converters with maximum space efficiency in any broadcast environment.
The Kiloview RF02 is positioned as the specialist rack-mount chassis for production environments that have adopted the NDI ecosystem as their primary standard. This 1U server allows for the centralised integration and power supply of multiple encoding and decoding cards, eliminating the need for scattered equipment and external power supplies. Consequently, the Kiloview RF02 is an indispensable tool for remote production centres and television studios requiring a clean, secure and highly efficient IP infrastructure.
NDI Engineering and Management Specifications
This hardware has been specifically designed to handle the constant workload of the high-end N-series converters:
- Expansion Capacity: It features dedicated slots for the modular installation of NDI modules (such as the N4/N3 or card versions).
- Compact 1U rack design: Optimises space in the data cabinet, allowing for a high density of video channels in a single-unit height.
- Dual Redundant Power Supply: Features two independent power supplies, ensuring that the system remains operational even in the event of a power failure.
- Advanced Thermal Cooling: An optimised internal ventilation system designed to dissipate the heat generated by processing multiple high-resolution video streams.
- Unified Network Connectivity: Simplifies the management of Ethernet cabling, enabling a professional organisation of data networks.
- Industrial-grade chassis: A reinforced metal frame designed to protect internal components in permanent installations or transport racks.
Quick guide to efficient commissioning
Setting up your processing node with the Kiloview RF02 is a straightforward process that ensures maximum network stability:
- Standard Mounting: Install the chassis in your 19-inch rack using the front mounting brackets, ensuring access to the rear connections.
- Installing Modules: Slide the NDI cards or modules into the slots on the Kiloview RF02 until they click into place.
- Safety connection: Connect both power cables to power sources with UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) protection to maximise redundancy.
- Data Cabling: Connects the video inputs and network ports of each module. This allows you to centralise all signal management at a single point in the rack.
- Commissioning: Switch on the server and check that the status LEDs confirm that all occupied slots are receiving power correctly.
Technical innovation and organisation in the studio
This server is designed to address the technical complexities of multi-channel NDI installations. Thanks to its internal power bus, the unit supplies a constant, filtered power supply to all installed modules. Furthermore, the Kiloview RF02 drastically reduces the number of potential points of failure by replacing multiple individual transformers with a centralised, professional power system.
Conclusion on this high-density system
In short, this rack-mount chassis redefines organisation in IP video production. Its ability to simultaneously protect and power multiple converters makes it a smart investment for scalable infrastructures. Furthermore, the proven reliability of the Kiloview RF02 ensures that your NDI workflow is robust and always available for the most critical live broadcasts.
