1 Product Introduction
Kiloview N60 HDMI to NDI Converter is Kiloview’s latest NDI converter(I/O). Adopting the
leading FPGA technologies, advanced-level AVC/HEVC algorithm and NDI algorithm, N60
comes with more powerful performance, more excellent encoding quality, better low-latency
performance and perfect function.
With the resolution up to 4K UHD (3840x2160@60Hz), N60 can encode a 4K HDMI signal into
an NDI video stream under encoding mode. When decoding, it will decode the NDI to HDMI.
Encoding or encoding, it depends on your end needs.
N60 supports Speed HQ and AVC (H.264)/HEVC (H.265) codec, which means N60 supports IO
conversion between NDI High-bandwidth and NDI|HX. Under encoding mode, N60 can
simultaneously output NDI and NDI|HX video streams up to 4K resolution. When decoding, N60
can automatically adapt to NDI or NDI|HX stream. Using NDI technology, combined with
Kiloview's own in-depth optimization of video encoding and network transmission technology,
N60 can achieve ultra-low latency as low as 80ms from video encoding to decoding.
N60 supports professional YCbCr 4:2:2 color space and 10bit color depth with AVC (H.264)
/HEVC (H.265) video encoding (compatible YCbCr 4:2:0 and 8bit AVC/HEVC video encoding)，
which promises higher color and image quality, particularly to fulfill the needs in the broadcasting
and medical image industries. Combined with the IP interconnection advantages of NDI
technology and a complete product ecological chain, N60 can help to gain a leading edge in
UHD video IP services
N60 support 2x1000M Ethernet ports, one of which supports PoE (IEEE 802.3AT). N60 has
HDMI 2.0 video input interface and output interface. When encoding, the HDMI output interface
will loop out the video signal via HDMI; when decoding, the decoded NDI video will be output
from the HDMI interface.
As the latest product, N60 further improves the user experience. It provides a color LCD display
and a scroll wheel on the front panel. N60 can display the device status and obtain configuration
parameters, the recording operations and IP address configuration. At the same time, LCD
display can work as a Tally.

convenient for you to use in different scenarios. Cold shoe fixing accessories, V-Mount and
other expansion are provided with additional cost.

Installation and Connection
Connect the power and video input source correctly, power on the device.
Network Connection and Configuration
The easiest way for network connection is to connect the device to the network by wire,
automatically obtain the IP address and DNS from the network without any setting on the device.
After that, use NewTek Studio Monitor and connect the NDI stream of the device, click the gear
button ( ) in the lower right corner of the software interface, you can directly open the login link
without manually entering the URL. (For the first login or the first login after restoring the factory
settings, you will need to agree to the “EULA” that pops up. Otherwise, the NDI stream service of
the device cannot be used normally).
If you want to set the network manually, you can use the default IP address 192.168.1.168
to login the web page. The default username and password is “admin/admin”
NDI Streaming
NDI has the function of automatic discovery. After the device is connected to the network, other
NDI enabled tools (such as Newtek Studio monitor, OBS, vMix) can automatically discover the
device and pull the NDI stream directly.
NDI Decoding
To find the NDI source in the same LAN or manually adding the source across the network and
decode the corresponding source to the display.

6 Login and Network Configuration
6.1 Login to the Device via Ethernet
First connect the Ethernet port of the NDI encoder and the computer to the same switch. After
powered on, you can turn the wheel knob to switch the screen to view the network port you are
currently connected to, such as "ETHERNET 1" (NETWORK 1) or "ETHERNET 2" (NETWORK
2). IP address can be also shown on the page.
Open the WEB browser, directly input the IP address to login. The default
username and password are admin/admin.
Note: Due to the browser compatibility issues, it is recommended to use Chrome or Firefox. For the first login
after restoring the factory settings, you will need to agree to the “EULA” that pops up. Otherwise, the NDI stream
service cannot be used normally.
After login, the encoding and function parameters can be set on the encoder management web
page. The page is shown as below:
6.2 Network Settings
Connect the network cable to the Ethernet port and configure with an IP address. The IP
address of the network port is obtained by DHCP by default, which will automatically get a full IP
address, gateway and DNS based on this LAN.
The N60 has two Gigabit network ports, of which Network 1 supports POE. Here take Network 1
as an example.
Click “Network” to check the configuration of the Ethernet.
