The Kiloview Recorder System (Hardware Version) is officially embodied in the Kiloview CUBE R1. While Kiloview also distributes this system as independent Windows-based software (the Kiloview NDI Recorder), the CUBE R1 is a dedicated turnkey, turnkey hardware appliance. It is engineered to capture, monitor, and store multiple high-resolution IP video streams simultaneously without demanding a self-built computer or separate software configuration.
Housed in a rugged, half-width 2U rackmount frame, the hardware server acts as a centralized master recorder for live events, multicam studio broadcasts, and post-production environments.
Core Engineering and Operational Features
-
9-Channel Concurrent Recording: The CUBE R1 can pull and record up to 9 independent NDI channels simultaneously. It is format-agnostic, seamlessly digesting High-Bandwidth Full NDI (SpeedHQ), NDI|HX2, and NDI|HX3 from any vendor at resolutions ranging up to 4K at 60 frames per second.
-
Frame-Aligned Iso-Recording (NTP Sync): To streamline post-production editing, the hardware features a microsecond-accurate Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronization framework. When recording multiple isolated camera feeds (ISOs), the hardware embeds matching timestamps across all 9 video timelines. Editors can pull the files directly into a multi-cam timeline in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut with absolute, sample-accurate frame alignment.
-
Plug-and-Play Non-Stop Storage Array: The front face of the server chassis houses dual hot-swappable SSD drive slots backed by a physical safety lock switch. This hardware structure enables continuous, non-stop recording; when Drive A reaches maximum capacity, the internal pipeline instantly and seamlessly jumps to Drive B without dropping a single frame of live video. High-speed USB Type-C expansion ports on the rear also allow direct recordings to external storage pools.
-
Built-In 5.5-Inch Touch Display & Controls: Eliminating the mandatory need for an external keyboard, mouse, or client monitor, the chassis includes a vibrant 5.5-inch LCD touchscreen. Operators can control settings, view storage health, monitor system resource graphs, and trigger recordings with a single press. It is paired with a physical tactile control knob for precise, fluid frame-seeking during live playback reviews.
-
Simultaneous 4K Playback and Streaming: The processing core allows for simultaneous recording and playback. While capturing 9 feeds, a technician can play back 1 selected channel at up to 4Kp60 on an attached monitor via the physical HDMI 2.0 output. The system also permits variable scrub speeds (1/4x, 1/2x, 2x, 4x, 8x) and allows an operator to re-broadcast a live playback stream straight back out onto the network.
-
Operation Safety Lock Protection: To eliminate the catastrophic risk of a crew member accidentally terminating a live broadcast recording, the software interface features a strict System Lock setting. Once active, trying to pause or abort a recording triggers a double-confirmation password loop, completely safeguarding valuable broadcast files from accidental operational mistakes.

💡 Operational Engineering Tips for the CUBE R1 Hardware
The 10GbE SFP+ Fiber Uplink Rule: Do not try to interconnect the CUBE R1 using only its 1GbE RJ-45 connection for dense recording pipelines. High-Bandwidth Full NDI 1080p60 signals pull roughly 125 Mbps, while 4K60 streams demand upwards of 250 Mbps. If you populate the system to its full capacity with 9 channels of Full NDI, the combined network ingestion load will sit between 1.1 and 2.25 Gigabits per second. This will completely overwhelm a standard 1GbE line, leading to severe network dropouts, corrupted frames, and broken files. Always tie the server back to your core network switch using its high-capacity 10GbE SFP+ optical fiber connections.
-
Configuring Fixed-Length Recording Trims: When recording long-form live events spanning 4 to 8 hours, use the device's web console to configure the file trimming engine to split recordings by Fixed Time Length (e.g., creating a new file exactly every 60 minutes) or Fixed File Size (e.g., splitting files every 50 Gigabytes). The hardware automatically closes a file and opens the next one with zero frame overlap or gap. This keeps your post-production data chunks organized and prevents file corruption from ruining a massive multi-hour session if a unexpected power failure occurs.
-
Leveraging Custom Sub-Stream Previews: To protect the device's internal CPU/GPU from thermal stress while recording heavy, concurrent 4K streams, configure the Multiview Layout Grid (1/4/9 layout screens) to display the cameras' compressed NDI Sub-Streams (low-bitrate proxies) for visual confidence monitoring and VU level checking. The server will safely write the untouched, pristine Main Stream files directly to the hot-swap SSDs, but displaying the lower-resolution proxies on screen will drastically lower processing heat and maximize overall hardware stability.
