Kiloview Multiview Pro (windows)

The Kiloview Multiview Pro software for Windows is an enterprise grade network video monitoring and multi window switching ecosystem built specifically for NDI infrastructure. Upgraded from the standard entry level Multiview Player this software operates as a localized or server based management platform. It can discover ingest decode and arrange an unlimited number of NDI feeds from any hardware vendor across a local network.

By employing web based management architecture the Windows host PC processes the underlying video rendering pipeline while production switchers directors and engineers can interact with the layouts using any browser based device on the same subnet.

Core Engineering and Operational Features

• Uncapped Network Source Ingestion: The system allows you to register an unlimited number of NDI feeds across your infrastructure. It fully supports High Bandwidth Full NDI SpeedHQ as well as compressed high efficiency NDI HX2 and NDI HX3 protocols at resolutions scaling up to 4K at 60 frames per second.

• Main and Sub Stream Auto Adjustment: To protect the host machine from sudden CPU or GPU bottlenecks the software features automated stream optimization. If a camera feed is minimized into a small grid tile the software automatically requests the low bitrate Sub Stream from the encoder. When an operator expands a tile into full screen or Picture in Picture mode the software instantly shifts to the high bitrate Main Stream.

• Multi Window Mixing and Virtual NDI Output: Beyond outputting the multi view layout to the host computer physical HDMI or DisplayPort monitor the software acts as a virtual encoder. It can compress your finalized multi view grid arrangements back into a unified NDI stream and broadcast it back onto the network for other production switchers or remote monitors to ingest.

• Fluid Drag and Drop Layout Engine: Operators can design custom multi view matrices by dropping sources into classic 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 16 or 20 layout grids. It also supports Picture in Picture PIP and Picture by Picture PBP configurations with granular manual control over border width alignment margins text sizing and resolution aspects.

• Decentralized Browser Based Control Surface: Because the system is built on modern web service backend technology the master Windows application does not require a physical operator sitting directly at the server. Anyone on the local area network can monitor or shift video layouts remotely by loading the server specific URL on an iPad smartphone or laptop. This feature pairs natively with Kiloview physical Panel Deck hardware controllers.

• Broadcast Diagnostic Toolsets: Built for professional master control monitoring the software provides real time graphic overlay modules for each individual window block. These include responsive VU audio level meters selectable Safe Area boundaries center crosses custom source name tags and real time resolution and frame rate diagnostics.

• Advanced Multi Tier User Permissions: To safe keep active live streams the admin dashboard includes role management. Access can be assigned and restricted by individual users groups or specific production projects ensuring field crew cannot accidentally modify core display grids or wipe master server templates.

Recommended System Host Requirements

Because decoding multiple concurrent channels of Full NDI and 4K video places massive computing loads on a computer Kiloview mandates professional tier enterprise hardware parameters for the host Windows PC.

• Operating System Framework: Microsoft Windows 10 or Windows 11 64-bit systems

• Central Processing Unit CPU: Intel Core i7-11700 or any modern 8-core 16-thread processor equivalent or higher

• System Memory RAM: Minimum 32 Gigabytes DDR4 or DDR5 RAM configured in multi-channel modes

• Dedicated Graphics Card GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or NVIDIA Quadro P5000 or higher

• Storage Infrastructure: Minimum 1 Terabyte NVMe Solid State Drive SSD for configuration caching

• Physical Network Adapter Card: Intel X520-DA2 or any high capacity 10GbE Dual SFP PCIe network interface card

Operational System Tips for Multiview Pro

The Tally Logic Preview and Program Switch: Multiview Pro features integrated tally system syncing that communicates with your production software. You can manually assign cells or map them to follow your main switcher behavior. When a specific camera source is pushed live on the main production the border of that cell inside Multiview Pro will glow Red for Program PGM. If it is cued next in line the cell border changes to Green for Preview PVW ensuring absolute sync across the entire camera crew and control room.

• Master Audio Logic Configuration: When managing up to 20 concurrent audio tracks across a single grid screen use the audio mode selector to avoid chaotic sound clutter. The software allows you to toggle between three distinct monitoring states Mute entirely kills background noise Audio Assigned locks the monitor speakers onto one specific anchor microphone track regardless of layout shifting and Audio Follows Video automatically unmutes the audio track of whichever camera cell the director clicks or maximizes onto the main screen.
