Kiloview Broadcast Solutions: Building Flexible IP Video Workflows

Modern broadcast facilities need flexible ways to connect video equipment, manage signals, and distribute content across production environments. Kiloview offers a range of broadcast media solutions designed to bridge traditional SDI and HDMI equipment with modern IP video workflows.

From modular media chassis and 4K converters to NDI decoding, transcoding, and centralized routing, Kiloview helps broadcasters build scalable production infrastructure.

Explore the Kiloview RF Cradle Series

The Kiloview RF Cradle Series offers three media chassis configurations for different broadcast system requirements.

  • RF01 Media Chassis: Compact 1RU chassis with four media card slots and external network switching for smaller systems.
  • RF02-LC Media Center: Flexible 2RU chassis with 16 media card slots, external network switching, and an optional main controller.
  • RF02 Media Center: Fully integrated 2RU chassis with 18 media card slots, a built-in 120 Gbps network switch, and KiloLink Server Pro for centralized management.

Kiloview Video Conversion, Decoding & Transcoding

Kiloview's media processing lineup supports a variety of video formats, resolutions, and IP protocols.

  • FN-50 / FN-60: 4K bi-directional converters supporting up to 4Kp60 encoding and decoding. The FN-50 features 12G-SDI, while the FN-60 offers 4K HDMI. Both support NDI High Bandwidth, HX2, HX3, SRT, RTMP, and RTSP.
  • FN-7 / FN-8: HD bi-directional converters supporting up to 1080p60. The FN-7 features 3G-SDI, while the FN-8 supports HDMI.
  • FD-360: Multi-functional decoder supporting up to 12 simultaneous 1080p60 streams, flexible multiview, preview, and synchronized SDI/HDMI output.
  • FMG-400: Media gateway supporting NDI, SRT, RTMP, RTSP, RTP, UDP, and HLS, with H.264, H.265, and SpeedHQ transcoding.
  • FXC-A8800: High-performance AMD CPU/GPU compute card compatible with Kiloview and third-party software, without requiring an additional PC.

Case Study: How Kiloview Connected 16 BRTV Studios with NDI

Beijing Broadcasting Television Station (BRTV) needed to modernize its production infrastructure to support daily news, large-scale live programs, and major national events.

Its 16 separate SDI studios limited signal sharing, while fixed transmission links restricted field contribution and traditional point-to-point routing made expansion complicated.

Kiloview helped address these challenges with an IP-based production solution.

The Solution Included:

  • RF02 + FN-50 / FN-60: Converted SDI and HDMI signals to NDI for studio workflows.
  • P3 + FMG-400: Enabled 4G/5G field contribution and integration of remote video feeds.
  • NDI CORE MAX: Provided centralized NDI routing and distribution across studios.

The Results:

  • Connected 16 previously isolated studios through a shared IP workflow.
  • Improved flexibility for bringing external field feeds into studio productions.
  • Simplified signal routing while retaining compatibility with existing SDI infrastructure.

The BRTV case study demonstrates how Kiloview NDI solutions can help broadcasters modernize production workflows without replacing all their existing broadcast equipment.
