Since a single 4K60 Full NDI stream continuously pulls roughly \u003cb\u003e250 Megabits per second\u003c\/b\u003e, populating a multi-cam live shoot with just four of these converters encoding simultaneously will generate a constant \u003cb\u003e1 Gigabit per second\u003c\/b\u003e load. This will completely saturate a standard 1GbE network switch uplink, leading to dropped video frames and severe artifacting. For multi-cam setups, ensure these converters route back to a core network switch utilizing high-capacity \u003cb\u003e10GbE SFP+ uplinks\u003c\/b\u003e or switch the N50 over to NDI|HX3 HEVC mode to slash bandwidth usage in half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kiloview","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52072889188654,"sku":"KIL-N30","price":31227.1,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/0157\/2910\/files\/KIL-N30_image1.jpg?v=1781851298","url":"https:\/\/shopvisuals.tv\/products\/kiloview-12g-sdi-ndi-bidirectional-ndi-converter","provider":"ShopVisuals.tv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
