SKU: KIL-RN-3

Kiloview 3G SDI Full NDI Encoding/Decoding card. Tally. Line In/Out. 1080P60

R 18,527.65
Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Kiloview RN-3 (often cataloged as KIL-RN-3) is a professional-grade, bi-directional 3G-SDI to Full NDI encoding and decoding card. Designed strictly as a modular component for the Kiloview Cradle Series rackmount systems (such as the 1RU RU01 or 3RU RU03 environments), it enables high-density integration between traditional coaxial broadcast infrastructure and ultra-low-latency IP production networks.

Core Engineering and Structural Features

  • True Bi-Directional Signal Flex: The card's operational parameters can be swapped instantly via software. It can either ingest a raw 3G-SDI camera feed and compress it into a high-bandwidth Full NDI stream (Encoding Mode), or pull a Full NDI stream off the network and convert it back to physical 3G-SDI output (Decoding Mode).

  • Visually Lossless Full NDI Processing: Unlike high-efficiency compressed protocols (such as NDI|HX), the RN-3 operates on the high-bandwidth Full NDI (SpeedHQ) codec. This guarantees sub-frame latency and flawless 4:2:2 color sampling accuracy, making it suitable for high-end chroma keying, graphics rendering, and instant-replay environments.

  • Integrated 3G-SDI Loop-Through: The physical interface panel features two 75 $\Omega$ BNC connectors. When running in Encoding Mode, the secondary BNC connector acts as a zero-latency loop-out, letting you feed local on-set confidence monitors or recorders without buying external SDI distribution amplifiers.

  • Seamless Multi-Source NDI Switching: When configured in Decoding Mode, the card allows you to pre-stage up to 9 different network NDI target feeds in its dashboard. You can switch between these sources on the fly through the Web UI with zero stutters, black screens, or frame drops.

  • Complex Multi-Channel Audio Matrixing: The board architecture is geared for intricate audio workflows. It supports up to 16-channel audio embedding during the encoding phase and 8-channel de-embedding during decoding, alongside a 3.5mm analog interface jack for routing local microphone or audio mixer signals.

💡 Operational System Tips for the RN-3 Module

The Chassis Interdependence Rule: Keep in mind that the RN-3 is an internal card module and cannot operate as a standalone desktop converter. It features no integrated DC power input ports or independent RJ-45 copper ethernet jacks directly on its silver backplate. It draws all its multi-phase DC power, high-volume data pathways, and internal fan cooling directly from the specialized backplane tracking links of the RU01 or RU03 host chassis.

  • Tracking Your Backplane Network Budgets: Because a single RN-3 processing full 1080p60 High-Bandwidth NDI consumes roughly one hundred and twenty-five megabits per second of continuous data, watch your numbers when filling a 16-slot RU03 enclosure. Populating all sixteen slots with RN-3 cards encoding Full NDI will push up to 2 Gigabits per second of non-stop video data across your rack's internal backplane switch links. Ensure your network switch uplinks are configured for 10GbE or split across isolated VLAN lines to prevent network congestion.
