#Kiloview E2 HDMI to NDI HX Encoder

Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Kiloview E2 HDMI to NDI|HX Video Encoder (cataloged under SKU KV-E2-NDI) is a professional, wired hardware encoder built to seamlessly bring baseband HDMI video into IP workflows.

Unlike the standalone N-series converters which operate as half-duplex transceivers (encoding OR decoding), the E2 is a dedicated, high-efficiency encoding appliance. It is designed to continuously capture a camera or computer layout, compress it using low-bandwidth NDI|HX (H.264) or standard IP protocols, and stream it to local production switches and global cloud platforms simultaneously.

Core Engineering and Operational Features

  • Wired NDI|HX Ecosystem Integration: The E2 utilizes NewTek’s highly efficient NDI|HX protocol. By leveraging compressed H.264 video streams instead of uncompressed Full NDI, it slashes network bandwidth requirements dramatically. It achieves crisp, broadcast-quality 1080p60 video at just 1.5 Megabits per second—making it ideal for facilities without specialized 10GbE fiber backbones.

  • Simultaneous Multi-Protocol Streaming: Driven by a powerful FPGA core, the E2 can simultaneously push up to 16 distinct streaming destinations across 2 independent stream profiles (Main Stream up to 1080p60, Sub Stream up to 720p60). Each destination can run on an entirely different protocol, allowing you to feed a local NDI control room, pull an SRT link for remote production, and stream RTMP/RTMPS directly to YouTube and Facebook all at the same time.

  • On-Board Media Server Capabilities: The hardware integrates Kiloview's specialized streaming engine, allowing it to act as an independent, localized Media Server. It natively supports 20 to 50 concurrent unicast connections pulling directly from the box via RTSP or TS-UDP, reducing the need for costly external media distribution servers during internal corporate or campus broadcasts.

  • Active HDMI Loop-Through & Audio Extraction: The enclosure features a physical HDMI loop-out port alongside the primary input, enabling latency-free, on-camera confidence monitoring. For audio, the encoder can extract embedded HDMI digital audio tracks or ingest specialized analog feeds via its 3.5mm input jack, packing them into high-fidelity AAC stereo.

  • Social-Media-Ready Video Processing: To accommodate modern, non-traditional broadcast orientations, the internal processing unit supports hardware-level image rotation and cropping. Operators can flip horizontal camera feeds into native vertical aspect ratios directly on the chip before encoding, maximizing quality for platforms like TikTok or Instagram Live without stressing external video switchers.

  • Redundant Broadcast Recording: The E2 provides simultaneous local recording during active live streams. Utilizing its built-in MicroSD card slot or dual USB 2.0 expansion host ports, it writes .MP4 or .MOV files to local cards or network-attached storage (NAS), safeguarding your production from unexpected internet drops.

💡 Operational System Tips for the E2 Encoder

The Network Protocol Management Principle: Because the E2 uses a 10/100M self-adaptive Ethernet port rather than a Gigabit link, you must keep an eye on your cumulative output bitrate budget when scaling up to maximum multi-platform delivery. Even though NDI|HX is highly compressed, streaming 1080p60 across all 16 target destinations at a high manual bitrate can saturate the 100 Mbps hardware ceiling. For bulletproof stability on multi-stream layouts, limit your Main Stream profile to roughly 4 to 6 Mbps per target, ensuring your combined network output stays safely below 60 Megabits per second of continuous throughput.

  • Deploying the NDI Virtual Input Tool: If you are conducting a hybrid corporate presentation or a remote video panel, download the free NewTek NDI Tools pack onto your presenter's computer. By assigning the E2 encoder as a virtual source using the NDI Virtual Input tool, any computer on the local network can read the camera feed directly as a regular, driverless USB webcam. This lets you route high-end, zero-latency camera feeds straight into desktop software like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Skype without a hardware capture card.

  • Leveraging ONVIF for Security Surveillance Integration: Beyond traditional live production, the E2 natively supports ONVIF 1.1 / 2.0 network discovery standards. If you are integrating a professional broadcast camera into a facility's emergency operations center, a school security grid, or a casino master wall, turning on ONVIF support allows standard network video recorders (NVRs) to instantly discover and record the E2 as if it were a high-end IP surveillance camera.
