Kiloview KVW-E3 Overview

Stream your program to up to 16 platforms simultaneously with the E3 HDMI & SDI Dual Channel Video Encoder from Kiloview. The new generation encoder features an HDMI input and loop output that can handle up to UHD 4K30 and a 3G-SDI input and loop output that supports up to 1080p60. Encoding of both inputs in H.264 and/or H.265 is possible at up to 1080p60 with multiple streaming protocols including NDI|HX2, NDI|HX3, SRT, RTMP, RTSP, UDP, and HLS.

Boasting a low <100ms latency, the E3 is Ideal for a variety of live production applications including remote transmission and live streaming. It features an up-to-date chipset that provides simultaneous streaming to up to 16 different destinations with eight main stream 1080p signals and eight sub stream 720p signals. A 3.5mm line input can ingest analog audio while digital audio can be brought in embedded via HDMI and 3G-SDI and converted into multiple formats including AAC, MPEG-4, MPEG-3, MPEG-2, Opus, or G.711. A 1.14" LCD screen allows you to monitor information regarding connectivity, IP address, CPU, memory, resolution, temperature, and tally status all in real time. A single Ethernet cable can provide PoE (Power over Ethernet) and reduce cable clutter around the unit. 

Please note: NTSC standard frame rates support is coming soon with a free future update

Encodes Both Video Inputs of HDMI and 3G-SDI
The E3 allows encoding video sources from either port of 3G-SDI or HDMI, mixing both video sources into one output in PIP or PBP mode, or even encoding video sources into up to 1080p60 from both ports of HDMI and 3G-SDI simultaneously for high-quality live streaming.
Flexible Formats Selection
For all IP-based video transmission processes, the E3 supports the high efficiency video codec HEVC as well as H.264. With support of HEVC, the E3 maintains video image quality with lower bitrates, saving more than 50% of your bandwidth.
Wide Streaming Protocol Compatibility
For broad applications, the E3 supports a complete range of streaming protocols including NDI|HX3, NDI|HX2, SRT, RTMP, RTMPS, HLS, and TS over UDP, RTP, RTSP, and ONVIF. It can be used for live production with NDI|HX, remote production with SRT, live streaming with RTMP or HLS, or any transmission with all different protocols.
Powerful Multi-Channel Audio Encoding
The E3 supports eight-channel embedded audio encoding of SDI inputs and four-channel embedded audio encoding of HDMI inputs, along with more functions including audio de-embedding, channel selection, alternate channel, and audio output mapping.
Reliable Recording and Streaming
All inputs of the E3 can be recorded in .MOV or.MP4 through the USB ports or NAS storage.

Latency is listed wrong

By Andrew
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2025-08-15

I bought 2 of these for their advertised low latency. After months of trying to get the lowest latency possible it can only reach 230-400ms the support team said that their data is wrong and that the device cannot reach the advertised latency of 100ms

Wonderfully Versatile Device

By Mark

I rarely leave reviews, but noticed a one star review here and thought it was very unfair. This is one of those life-saving devices. We use it for everything on our soundstage - from sending SRT streams, to adding NDI sources. For instance, if someone brings a laptop and you need it quickly onto a broadcast - use this device. Someone wants to use their DSLR for additional footage feeds, we grab this. We ship these around the country for remote productions when we need feeds via SDI. This also delivers loop outputs on both SDI and HDMI, so you can just throw this into the signal path and get functionality without losing anything. POE works perfectly. The NDI ability has SAVED PRODUCTIONS when we lost other connections. I don't know what happened with the other review, but this has truly been a world class product for our stage.

Can I use the encoder to send the signal to Vmix? Or do I need the encoder and decoder kit?
Asked by: Jose
The Kiloview E3 HDMI & SDI Dual Channel Video Encoder would work seamlessly with vMix; the decoder is not needed.
