Kiloview Rack-mounted 1CH Professional SDI Video Encoder

Product Description

The Kiloview Rack-mounted 1CH Professional SDI Video Encoder is designed for high-quality video encoding in professional environments. Its rack-mounted form factor allows it to be integrated into standard 19-inch racks, making it suitable for use in broadcast studios, production facilities, and other settings where reliable and high-quality video encoding is required. Heres a detailed overview of its features and typical applications:

Key Features:

1-Channel SDI Encoding:

• Provides a single-channel (1CH) SDI input for video encoding. This allows for the conversion of SDI video signals into encoded video streams for transmission over IP networks.

High-Definition Video Support:

• Supports high-definition video resolutions, typically up to 1080p or 4K, depending on the model. This ensures that the encoded video maintains high quality and clarity.

Advanced Compression Formats:

• Utilizes modern video compression standards such as H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC). H.265 offers improved compression efficiency, which reduces bandwidth usage while maintaining high video quality.

Low Latency:

• Designed for low-latency operation, essential for real-time applications such as live broadcasting and video production. This helps ensure synchronization between video and audio and provides a smooth viewing experience.

Network Connectivity:

• Includes network interfaces for IP-based video streaming. Supports various streaming protocols like RTMP, RTSP, and SRT, allowing for flexible and reliable video transmission over IP networks.

Audio Support:

• Often includes support for embedding and transmitting audio along with the video stream. This ensures that audio is synchronized with the video feed, maintaining overall media quality.

Web-Based Management Interface:

• Features a user-friendly web-based interface for configuration and monitoring. This allows for remote management and control of the encoder from any network-connected location.

Rack-Mountable Design:

• Designed to fit into a standard 19-inch rackmount setup. This form factor is ideal for professional environments where space is optimized and organization is important.

Redundant Power Supply (Optional):

• Some models may include options for redundant power supplies, providing added reliability and ensuring continuous operation in critical environments.

Typical Applications:

• Broadcast Studios:

  • Used in broadcast studios for encoding SDI video signals before transmission over IP networks. The rack-mounted design integrates seamlessly into the studios equipment rack.

• Live Event Production:

  • Suitable for encoding live video feeds from cameras or other SDI sources for transmission to streaming platforms or other production systems.

• Corporate AV Systems:

  • Employed in corporate environments for video encoding of presentations, conferences, and other events. It can also be used in video conferencing setups to encode SDI video sources.

• Remote Production and OB Vans:

  • Ideal for remote production and outside broadcast (OB) vans where reliable video encoding is needed. Its rack-mounted design fits into the limited space of mobile production units.

• Educational and Training Facilities:

  • Used in educational institutions for encoding video streams of lectures, seminars, and training sessions. It can also be used in remote learning environments to ensure high-quality video delivery.

Example Use Case:

In a live sports broadcast, the Kiloview Rack-mounted 1CH Professional SDI Video Encoder can be used to encode the SDI video feed from a camera. The encoded video is then transmitted over an IP network to a central broadcast station or streaming platform. The low-latency performance ensures that the live feed is delivered in real time, while the rack-mounted design ensures that the encoder integrates neatly into the broadcast studios equipment rack.

Summary:

The Kiloview Rack-mounted 1CH Professional SDI Video Encoder is a high-quality video encoding solution designed for professional use. Its support for high-definition video, advanced compression formats, low latency, and network connectivity make it ideal for broadcasting, live production, corporate AV systems, and educational applications. The rack-mounted design ensures it fits seamlessly into existing infrastructure, while the web-based management interface adds convenience and flexibility for remote operation.
