Kiloview RN-40 is a bi-directional HDMI to NDI encoding/decoding card designed for Kiloview rackmount chassis RU01/RU03.
It supports 4Kp60 HDMI encoding to NDI High Bandwidth with loop-through for local monitoring, or decoding NDI High Bandwidth streams back to HDMI output.
Ideal for 4K IP-based production workflows, RN-40 ensures high-quality, low-latency video transmission and supports seamless switching between encoding and decoding modes.
The RN-40 supports encoding HDMI signals (up to 4Kp60) into NDI High Bandwidth streams or decoding NDI streams back to HDMI. With HDMI loop-through, it enables real-time monitoring and efficient signal routing, ideal for IP-based 4K/HD workflows.
The RN-40 delivers 4Kp60 video encoding/decoding with YCbCr 4:2:2 color sampling, ensuring vibrant color and consistent image quality for high-end productions.
• HDMI audio embedding & de-embedding for mixer connection
• Real-time analog audio embedding via 3.5mm input
• 2-channel synced audio with up to 16-channel mapping
In decoding mode, pre-set up to 9 NDI sources and switch instantly via the web interface—no blackouts, stutters, or signal loss. Transition timing can be adjusted to fit your live production.
Advanced PTZ management supporting USB serial (RS-232/485/422) and IP-based protocols, delivering precise control over 4K camera movements. Designed to enhance complex UHD live productions and remote directing workflows.
