3G-SDI & USB to NDI Encoder/Decoder
Versatile Inputs, Endless NDI Possibilities.
Kiloview**N5**is a compact, cost-effective NDI converter that supports both NDI High Bandwidth and NDI HX2/HX3 formats. With 3G-SDI input and loop-through, it encodes SDI signals into high-quality NDI streams and can also decode them back for SDI output—it’s your most affordable way into the world of NDI.
Additionally, the N5 can be connected to cameras via a USB port to convert USB video outputs into NDI streams. This capability is perfect for a variety of applications such as video conferencing, live streaming, and training sessions.

## Integrated Encoding & Decoding with SDI-to-IP Flexibility The N5 supports both NDI High Bandwidth and NDI HX2/ HX3 formats in a single, compact unit. It features 3G-SDI input with loop-through and decoding output, supporting resolutions up to 1080p60.
● In encoding mode: the N5 can simultaneously output both NDI High Bandwidth and NDI HX2/HX3 streams from a 3G-SDI source.
● In decoding mode: it decodes any NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX2, or HX3 stream and outputs directly to baseband 3G-SDI for on-screen monitoring.
## From USB to NDI—Simplify Your Setup, Elevate Your Stream The N5 allows direct input from USB video devices such as webcams, UVC cameras, and built-in laptop cameras—instantly converting them into NDI streams at up to 1080p60. With no need for external capture cards or complex setup, it offers a fast and efficient way to integrate lightweight video sources into professional NDI workflows.

## PTZ Control for All-in-One Production The N5 enables flexible PTZ camera control without needing additional controllers. It supports serial connections (RS-232/RS-485/RS-422) via USB and mainstream network protocols. This allows precise pan, tilt, and zoom adjustments, enhancing multi-camera live streaming and conference setups with seamless integration and user-friendly operation.
## Smarter Preview, Powerful OSD Capabilities N5 offers real-time preview of up to 10 video sources, allowing quick signal verification and issue detection before going live for smooth, reliable multi-camera production.
In addition, it supports flexible OSD tools, including real-time VU meter display, customizable border overlays, and full graphics and text overlays, enabling visually engaging, branded outputs while saving time and streamlining the overall workflow.
## Power It as You Wish The N5 supports PoE for single-cable power and data transmission. With a 12V–18V DC input range, it can also be powered via USB or camera batteries for flexible deployment.
## Control with a USB Keypad In decoding mode, you can preset up to 10 NDI sources (0–9) and quickly switch outputs using a connected USB keypad.
You can even use the keypad to control a PTZ camera, making it the most affordable PTZ controller available.
## Visual Input Loss Alerts for Instant Issue Identification When a video source or network stream is interrupted, the system automatically displays a preset “No Video” screen or a custom PNG image (1920 × 1080 or 1280 × 720), instead of defaulting to a black or blue screen. This maintains a clean, professional output while helping users quickly pinpoint input-side issues—minimizing downtime and avoiding confusion.
## Audio Support with Real-Time Intercom The N5 fully supports USB headset connectivity. When paired with the Kiloview Intercom System (KIS), the N5 supports real-time voice intercom, enabling seamless talkback during production workflows.
## Compact Design with Easy Camera Mounting The N5 features a compact design and comes with a standard threaded cold shoe mount, making it easy to attach directly to a camera.
