Configuració
Follow these steps to set up your Kiloview N6 converter:
- Connectar l'alimentació:
- If using PoE, connect an Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled switch or injector to the NDI/PoE port on the N6.
- Alternatively, connect the provided power supply to the DC 12V input port. The N6 supports a wide DC input range from 5V to 18V.
- Connect Video Source (for Encoding):
- Connect an HDMI cable from your video source (e.g., camera, computer) to the Entrada HDMI port on the N6.
- Connect Video Display (for Decoding/Loop Output):
- Connecteu un cable HDMI des del SORTIDA HDMI port on the N6 to your display monitor or recording device.
- Connecteu-vos a la xarxa:
- Connect an Ethernet cable from the NDI/PoE port on the N6 to your network switch or router. This is essential for NDI transmission and control.
- Connectar àudio (opcional):
- If using external audio, connect a 3.5mm audio cable to the LÍNIA D'ENTRADA/SORTIDA port segons calgui.

Instruccions de funcionament
El quiloview N6 can operate in two primary modes: Encoding and Decoding. The working mode can be switched via the device's web IU.
1. Accedint al Web IU:
- Ensure the N6 is connected to the same network as your computer.
- Use the LCD screen to find the device's IP address.
- Obre a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the N6.
- Log in using the default credentials (refer to the Quick Start Guide for details).
2. Encoding Mode:
In encoding mode, the N6 converts an HDMI video signal into an NDI stream.
- Des del web UI, select "Encoder" as the working mode.
- Ensure your HDMI video source is connected to the Entrada HDMI port.
- Configure NDI stream settings such as resolution, frame rate, and bitrate as required.
- The NDI stream will now be discoverable by NDI-compatible software and hardware on your network.
3. Decoding Mode:
In decoding mode, the N6 receives an NDI stream from the network and outputs it via HDMI.
- Des del web UI, select "Decoder" as the working mode.
- The N6 will automatically detect available NDI sources on the network. Select the desired NDI source from the list.
- The decoded video will be output through the SORTIDA HDMI port to your connected display.
4. LCD Screen and Touch Buttons:
The front LCD screen provides quick access to device status and basic settings. Use the touch buttons (left and right arrows) to navigate through menus and the 'O' button to confirm selections.
- Visualització d'estat: View CPU, memory, temperature, IP address, and firmware version.
- Tally Status: The LCD screen also acts as a large tally light, indicating program (red) or preview (green) status in an NDI workflow.
5. Audio and Intercom:
- The N6 supports embedded audio from the HDMI source/output.
- For external audio, connect devices to the 3.5mm LINE IN/OUT port.
- For intercom functionality, connect to a Kiloview Intercom server and configure settings via the web IU.
