Kiloview RN03 | 3U High-Density 10-Slot Rack Chassis

The Kiloview RN03 serves as the cornerstone for large-scale audiovisual infrastructures requiring centralised and efficient management. This robust 3U rack-mount chassis allows for the simultaneous integration of up to 10 encoding, decoding or conversion cards. Consequently, the Kiloview RN03 is an indispensable tool for data centres, television stations and large venues that need to process multiple IP video streams in a space-optimised environment with a redundant power supply structure.

Engineering Specifications and High Density

This equipment stands out for its industrial design, which is tailored to mission-critical environments where performance cannot be compromised:

• Expansion Capacity: It features 10 vertical slots compatible with the full range of Kiloview N-series and E-series cards.
• 3U rack format: A 19-inch standard that allows a huge amount of processing power to be concentrated in a single server rack.
• Full Power Redundancy: Features two independent power supplies (hot-swappable) that ensure uninterrupted service even if one fails or requires maintenance.
• Sistema de Refrigeración Inteligente: Equipado con ventiladores de alta velocidad regulados por temperatura para asegurar que los 10 módulos trabajen en condiciones óptimas.
• Gestión Centralizada: Facilita la organización del cableado de red y señal, reduciendo el desorden en la parte posterior del armario de datos.
• Reinforced Structure: Manufactured from high-quality steel to protect technical equipment from vibrations or impacts in mobile units.

Quick guide to efficient commissioning

Configuring your processing node with the Kiloview RN03 is a professional process that ensures a clean and scalable infrastructure:

1. Mechanical Installation: Mount the chassis in your 19-inch rack using the reinforced side brackets, leaving space for front and rear ventilation.
2. Inserting Modules: Slide your video cards into the slots on the Kiloview RN03. The guide system ensures a perfect connection to the internal data and power bus.
3. Safety Connection: Connect both power supplies to different electrical circuits (UPS A and UPS B) to maximise your system’s redundancy.
4. Strategic Cabling: Use cable management systems for the SDI/HDMI inputs and network connections on each of the 10 installed cards.
5. Power Monitoring: Check that the LED indicators on the power supplies show a stable status before starting the software configuration of the modules.

Technical innovation and cost efficiency

The design of this high-density chassis is optimised to drastically reduce the cost per video channel in complex installations. By centralising power supply and cooling in a single point, the unit consumes less energy and takes up less space than 10 individual devices. Furthermore, the Kiloview RN03 simplifies technical maintenance, allowing modules to be replaced or added without interrupting the operation of the rest of the chassis.

Conclusion on this high-density system

In short, this chassis redefines the responsiveness of any modern audiovisual studio. Its ability to house a large number of converters within a secure structure makes it a smart long-term investment. Furthermore, the proven reliability of the Kiloview RN03 ensures that your IP video network is robust, scalable and always ready for the most demanding productions on the market.
