Kiloview N50 12G-SDI NDI Bidirectional Converter
Bidirectional 12G-SDI and NDI converter with SRT support. Convert between 12G-SDI 4K and Full NDI in both directions. Broadcast-grade for 4K SDI and IP production environments.
- 12G-SDI bidirectional — encode 4K SDI cameras to Full NDI or decode Full NDI back to 12G-SDI, configurable in the web interface
- 4K support via 12G-SDI — handles SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI and 12G-SDI at up to 4K60 in both directions
- Full NDI — functionally lossless quality in both encode and decode modes
- SRT support — additionally streams via SRT for internet contribution alongside NDI
- Broadcast-grade build — for professional broadcast facilities deploying NDI alongside 12G-SDI infrastructure
- Bidirectional in one unit — replaces separate 12G-SDI encoder and decoder at positions where both roles are needed
What is the Kiloview N50?
The N50 is the 12G-SDI specialist in the Kiloview bidirectional NDI converter range — handling the broadcast standard for 4K SDI production in both directions alongside Full NDI. At 4K broadcast camera positions and SDI router output points deploying NDI, the N50 provides the complete 12G-SDI to NDI and NDI to 12G-SDI bridge in one device.
12G-SDI coverage
12G-SDI (SMPTE 2082) carries 4K Ultra HD at 60fps over a single BNC coaxial cable — the current broadcast standard for 4K camera signals. The N50 handles all sub-rates automatically (3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI) in addition to full 12G-SDI, covering every camera in a mixed-format broadcast facility.
