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. Here’s 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 studio’s 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 studio’s 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.
