Kiloview CUBE X1 Distribution System

Kiloview CUBE X1 NDI Core Max Distribution System

The Kiloview CUBE X1 NDI Distribution System is a lightweight version of the NDI Core Max. The CUBE X1 is designed for unified scheduling, switching, distribution, and management of all NDI signals, supporting up to 13CH NDI inputs and 26CH NDI outputs. It can achieve seamless switching of all NDI sources without lagging or a black screen.

Additionally, it is capable of multiple distribution of NDI data sources, multi-business grouping management, NDI signal rotation playback, etc. It is also compatible with NDI signals of any format or from any device, such as NDI High Bandwidth/NDI HX3/NDI HX2 for seamless docking.

Equipped with an LCD touchscreen, the CUBE X1 allows users to monitor the network status, storage space, and CPU usage in real-time.

CUBE X1 also enables users to configure the standard NDI Router on it.

Three Reasons to Choose Kiloview CUBE X1:

1. All the NDI sources are connected one-to-one to the Kiloview CUBE X1 NDI Distribution System for switching and distribution.

2. Multiple virtual outputs can be created within the CUBE X1 that can be connected to any NDI destination; it is also capable of seamless input/output switching.

3. Connection mode: support input/output 1-to-1 connection; support 1 channel input + 1 channel output + multi-channel terminal; 1 channel input + multi-channel output + multi-channel terminal.

Multiplex Distribution of NDI Data Sources:

Unlike a simple routing switching mechanism, Kiloview CUBE X1 supports access to all NDI data sources, achieving seamless NDI signal switching and unlimited distribution. When you need to use the same NDI video source in multiple targets, the system can create multiple NDI outputs as needed, or the same output can support multiple targets connected at the same time.

Seamless Switching, More Professional:

Kiloview CUBE X1 can automatically discover and manually input NDI sources. It is capable of 13 channels of NDI inputs, 26 channels of NDI outputs, copy distribution, and switching.

There are two options for switching panels: the crosspoint panel and the IO panel

Up to 13 Channels of NDI Input and 26 Output:

CUBE X1 NDI Distribution System is a lightweight version of the NDI CORE MAX, equipped with dual 10GbE NICs, which can reach 13 channels of 1080p60 resolution NDI source inputs and 26 channels of 1080p60 resolution NDI source outputs simultaneously. You can easily switch all the NDI I/O by using the preset 16 buttons.

CUBE X1 is also capable of audio embedding, which delivers the biggest flexibility.

Compatible with NDI Signals of Any Formats/Devices:

The CUBE X1 is compatible with any format of NDI input of any resolution, such as UHD/HD/NDI/NDI|HX, etc., and works seamlessly with NDI conference cameras, NDI mobile phones/computers, NDI encoders/decoders, NDI production systems, and other NDI hardware and software systems.

CUBE X1 enables users to set the NTP server for all NDI devices.

Touch Screen One-Button Operation:

The CUBE X1 NDI Distribution System features an LCD touchscreen and operation button design, and the built-in 5.5-inch HD screen will display all the video operations.

Without an external display screen, the appropriate input/output source can be easily selected through a button or touch for monitoring, and distribution.

In addition, a VU meter is enabled for the user to monitor the audio status.

Customizable Control Panel:

With a customizable control panel, users can easily format different groups and independently set the group inputs and outputs to suit different scenarios.

Two switching panels, the IO panel, and the crosspoint panel, are provided as standard.

NDI Signal Round-Robin Playback:

Users can separately set the program source, dynamically change the playback order, playback time, etc., and the playback supports NDI signal rotation.

It supports multiple playback modes, such as looping and sequential play.

It is appropriate for a variety of scenarios, including conferences and digital signage.

Log & Permission Management, Secure Your Workflow:

Featuring log and permission management options, the CUBE X1 guarantees the security of the whole process of video transmission, production, and management.

Assigning permission levels to different users, the CUBE X1 allows easy viewing of operation logs and log management at any time.

Stable and Reliable Hardware Server:

• Flexible Ethernet and SFP modules.
• Professional form factor: the CUBE X1 NDI Distribution System is half the width of the 2U rackmount design.
• Reinforced design, better stability.
• Convenient HDMI and USB ports.
• User-centered design and expandability enable users to create hot backups and a more powerful cluster to achieve a bigger matrix of NDI sources.

Function features:

1. Input, output & forwarding of High performance and full capability NDI

• Support inputs of 16x NDI High bandwidth, NDI | HX2, and NDI | HX3.
• Support up to outputs of 32x NDI forwarding.
• The forwarding delay is less than 16.67 ms, which brings no conversion, damage, or loss to NDI media contents.
• Support NDI full protocol and full format; however, the total number of supported video paths depends on the bandwidth due to the different NDI bandwidth under different video resolution formats.
• In typical cases, NDI High bandwidth, or NDI | HX2/NDI | HX3, with a resolution of 1080p60, can support 13x inputs and 26x outputs; At a resolution of 4Kp60, the scale is halved.
• Support the forwarding of NDI Tally status.
• Support the forwarding of signals for NDI PTZ control.
• Support bi-directional forwarding of NDI metadata.
• Support user-configurable traditional NDI routing mode, namely “jump” mode.

2. Convenient operation and good interactive experience:

• The 5.5-inch LCD touchscreen on the front panel allows previewing of all inputs of NDI videos (in VUMeter mode).
• The switching operation between NDI input and output can be performed through touchscreen selection and front panel buttons.
• Commonly used NDI output channels can be added to the favorites list for quick selection.
• The LCD screen on the front panel allows you to view the operating status of the host, system performance, and network uplink/downlink bandwidth.
• The commonly used system settings can be executed through the front panel LCD screen.
• Remote backend control can be achieved through the Web console

3. Powerful functions of Web console management and control
