The Kiloview N4 (cataloged as KV-N4) is a professional, pocket-sized HDMI to NDI bidirectional hardware converter. Driven by a high-performance internal FPGA processing matrix, it functions as a software-switchable, half-duplex transceiver. It is capable of acting as an Encoder (compressing raw HDMI camera video into a low-latency network stream) or a Decoder (extracting an IP stream from your network and outputting it via physical HDMI to an engineering monitor, projector, or hardware switcher).

While its 4K sibling (the N40) handles ultra-high resolutions, the N4 is optimized for Full HD 1080p60 operations, making it a highly cost-effective tool for standard broadcast setups, houses of worship, corporate presentation rooms, and eSports venues. It focuses strictly on high-bandwidth, visually lossless Full NDI (SpeedHQ), delivering pristine color reproduction with sub-frame network latency.

Core Engineering and Operational Features

  • True Half-Duplex Bidirectional Flex: The operational profile can be toggled through its integrated web dashboard. In Encoding Mode, it ingests a baseband HDMI signal and broadcasts it onto your local IP network as an auto-discoverable NDI source. In Decoding Mode, the architecture reverses, turning the box into a client that receives network NDI feeds and converts them back to baseband HDMI.

  • Lossless Local Loop-Through Monitoring: When configured in its encoder state, the second physical HDMI interface functions as a true, zero-latency loop-out. This allows field operators to run a local on-camera confidence monitor while the processing core compresses the primary data packet for distribution over the network switch.

  • Instant, Glitch-Free Decoder Channel Switching: When running as a hardware decoder, the N4 uses Kiloview’s specialized frame-buffer management technology. Operators can preset up to 9 distinct network NDI target stream addresses inside the web panel. Switching between these sources triggers instantly—completely eliminating the black frames, visual stuttering, or frozen macroblocks typical of manual network handshakes.

  • Wide-Voltage Power Architecture: The N4 offers flexible power distribution options for field and mobile use. It can draw standard Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af) via its Gigabit interface port, or operate over a wide 5V to 18V DC input loop via its USB-C port. This allows the unit to be safely powered by a standard smartphone power bank, a laptop USB port, or a D-Tap battery connection on a field camera rig.

  • Oversized PGM/PVW Tally Indicator: A large, highly visible LED Tally light block is built directly into the face of the durable metal enclosure. It communicates bi-directionally with NDI-compatible production switchers (such as NewTek TriCaster, vMix, or OBS Studio), glowing Bright Red for Program (PGM) and Vibrant Green for Preview (PVW) to guide on-camera talent.

  • Bi-Directional Voice Intercom Support: The unit includes a 3.5mm analog TRRS audio interface that can input microphone signals or output headphone feeds. When coupled with the Kiloview Intercom Server (KIS) ecosystem, the N4 transforms into a remote belt-pack node, establishing a voice intercom circuit between your master control room director and the camera team.

  • PTZ Telemetry and USB Expansion: The hardware natively routes pan, tilt, zoom, and focus telemetry across the network. By attaching a USB-to-serial expansion adapter cable to the N4, operators can transmit standard VISCA, Pelco-D, or Pelco-P data lines over IP directly to a target PTZ camera assembly.

💡 Operational System Tips for the N4 Converter

The Full NDI Gigabit Switch Bandwidth Limit: Because the N4 operates exclusively in high-bandwidth Full NDI, it places immediate data demands on your network switches. A single 1080p60 stream requires a continuous 125 Megabits per second of throughput. While a basic 1GbE network switch can theoretically handle several streams, populating a multi-cam live venue with 6 or more N4 units running simultaneously can consume over 750 Mbps of your bandwidth budget. This approach matches the real-world performance ceiling of a standard gigabit link. To avoid packet drops or visual frame tearing, backhaul your local edge switches to your core switch network using high-capacity 10GbE SFP+ fiber optic uplinks.

  • Deploying the USB Keypad Quick-Switch Station: If you are using the N4 in decoding mode to drive a projector, a TV wall, or a client confidence display at an event, you can connect an inexpensive USB numeric keypad into the converter's expansion slot via a USB adapter. Map your network's primary NDI camera feeds to the 0–9 keys inside the web management portal. Once saved, your production team can shift the physical display output across 10 completely different cameras with a single keypress, creating a localized, lightweight hardware switching terminal.

  • High-Density Rack Consolidation: For master control rooms, flypacks, or OB vans that use multiple N4 modules, avoid a messy cluster of power bricks behind your gear rack. The lateral edges of the N4 feature specialized alignment channels designed for Kiloview's mechanical RU01 (1RU) and RU03 (3RU) rackmount frames. This allows you to slide, lock, and organize multiple edge converters side-by-side using integrated thumb-screws, keeping your studio space clean and improving overall airflow.

You can get this online free, but I bought it. Let Fanon turn your brain inside out.
I actually like the idea of supporting a press that is publishing Fanon. When I was growing up with my dad working with the SCLC and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as part of the night security crew for the summer marches, I was probably more aware than most Americans -- certainly most Americans outside of the black community -- of how much permeability there was between the nonviolent SCLC, and the Black Panther movement, for which Fanon was a seed influence. Youth in the SNCC organization, the youth group associated with the SCLC, often went back and forth between SNCC and the Panthers as they developed their activist identity and their ideas of how justice might be achieved. The phrase "by any means necessary" used by the Panthers often scared the bejeezus out of the white community. But when I sat down with my father -- who was an adherent of formal nonviolence -- he handed me Fanon to read, and told me that it was a valid investigation as to whether violence should be considered if nonviolent means were not entertained by the state. To my dad, who was a peaceful but fiercely justice-oriented man (for those of you who know the idiom "fire of Amos" he had it), he considered that without the counterpoint of the Panthers, MLK would never have gotten a hearing in Washington DC. Just the idea that there were revolutionaries in American society looking at American "apartheid" and saying, "We are willing to take care of our own if you separate us. We see our situation as that of a post-colonial slavery society and use the model of African liberation as our model. We are willing to be peaceful if we are given justice in peace, but we do not believe that you are acting in good faith and will use whatever means necessary to see you follow your own promises of justice and see justice for our own people if you will not see that done." That was actually a step down from Fanon. That was actually optimism. But all white Americans heard out of any of that was: "...by any means necessary." They didn't think of how they were creating the circumstances that might precipitate violence. That whites had created a system that instituted violence to keep slaves, and later free blacks, contained and preserve power and privilege for the white majority. It is hard for most Americans to even realize that America -- although we became independent from England -- continued as a colonial nation and economy on our own continent and territory. That all the institutions of the repression and destruction of indigenous and imported-slave cultures that happened "over there" in countries that Europeans colonized far from home, we did at home as a break-away colony, and the Europeans who conquered America never relented, compromised, or acknowledged that colonial reality in the way that the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, French, and British Empires did in their colonial domains. So Fanon is someone worth reading, not only for Africans, or for African-Americans, but for any American or anyone else in the world who wants to better ponder white privilege in America and how it became so very different from colonial privilege as that faded in Africa, through the lens of this Algerian revolutionary philosopher, who so influenced our Panthers. I remain committed to nonviolence personally, but I understand intensely how MLK and Malcolm balance each other. And how that can actually lead to better peaceful solutions, in a social justice conflict where the status quo has been preserved by judicial and extrajudicial violence by a superior force. This is still relevant in puppet regimes all over the world. In client states of capitalist powers and of Russia and China. In the conflicts surrounding Israel, and the conflicts throughout the Middle East and Central Asia that are often couched in sectarian terms or sectarian vs secular terms. It is vital to understanding countries like Zimbabwe or South Africa, where the dynamics of early black leadership as colonial-wannabes are creating environments of corruption and scandal, and robbing their own people. Everyone should read Fanon. If you can't afford the book here, you can find it online free. This book, and Black Skin, White Masks, both highly recommended. If you don't like Marxist/Socialist politics, try to suspend disbelief a bit. The philosophy, sociology, and psychology is amazing.

Must read book on African colonial sociology and politics
Fanon describes the character of (European) colonialists, the colonised Africans (the "masses" - rural and urban, the elites, the nationalists, the tribalists) wonderfully. The book is wonderfully written - Fanon must have been a good writer. Fanon is a psychiatrist, and worked in Algeria as psychiatrist, but he many have travelled other African countries too. His book shows his deep knowledge of both African and European sociology, psychology and politics. The book is still relevant; his analysis as to what will happen after the liberation of African countries is amazingly valid. He is in a way one of the most important African (though he is born in Latin America) sociologist and political scientist. Fanon's book starts on "violence", he doesn't shy away from prescribing violence in the struggle for liberation. Some find Fanon advocating violence, but that is not the case. He puts in perspective the violence perpetrated by colonists against the resulting reaction that culminates in the violence of the colonised. His clear analysis demystifies the violence that still grips Africa. Unfortunately Fanon seems to put all European in Africa as colonists. Many cases from South Africa show that that should not be the case. But his views may be due to the brutal repression he has to witness and experience in Algeria by the French government and French citizens there.

Colonialism not dead yet
This is a review of the 2004 Grove paperback edition of Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth The Wretched of the Earth is the most famous work of Algerian revolutionary Franz Fanon (1925-1961) finished and published shortly before his death (he died of leukemia). Fanon is known above all as a theorist of revolutionary violence and a champion of its therapeutic good for the oppressed. However, this book is not about armed struggle only; it covers many other topics: theory of class conflict in colonies, revolutionary process and subjects of social change in the Third World, the future of new independent states (former colonies), strategies of building Third World—First World relations in a right way, the relationship between the struggle for national culture and national liberation struggles, consequences of colonialism for both the colonizer and the colonized, etc. It’s a book of an angry man; the author's revolutionary pathos and standing with the oppressed (‘the wretched of the earth’) are noticeable. Though Fanon wrote his book drawing on the experience of the Africa of the 1950s an acute reader can easily notice similarities and parallels with what’s going on in the underdeveloped countries all over the world. The book can be of particular use for anthropologists, historians, philosophers, sociologists, as well as for those interested in cultural studies. I prefer Richard Philcox’s translation to the one published in 1963. Citizens of the global South can skip Jean-Paul Sartre’s preface; let the author speak for himself.
