The Kiloview Cradle Series RF02 isn’t just another rack unit, it's a purpose-built 2RU media control centre that brings together every piece of your AV-over-IP workflow. With space for up to 18 service cards, RF02 lets you scale encoding, decoding, format conversion, gateway functions, bonding and more, all in a single, modular system.
At the core of the RF02 is an ARM64 controller running KiloLink Server Pro, giving you unified discovery, configuration, real-time monitoring and firmware management for every module installed in the chassis. It also integrates high-bandwidth networking directly into the frame, including multiple 10 Gbps SFP+ ports, a 10 Gbps RJ-45 port and an internal 1G/2.5G switch, reducing the need for external network hardware and simplifying complex workflows.
Watch Kiloview’s Judy Zuo introduce the latest cards for the RF02.
Reliability is built in through dual hot-swappable power supplies, and on-site visibility is enhanced with a front-panel LCD for instant status information. Full web-based management, with both HTTP and HTTPS support, ensures the RF02 fits comfortably into modern broadcast and production environments.
Some of the latest service cards that highlight the flexibility and capability of the RF02 include:
FN-60 / FN-50: High-performance 4K encoding/decoding modules (HDMI or 12G-SDI) with support for NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX/HX3, HDR and all major streaming protocols.
FMG-400: A versatile media gateway card enabling protocol bridging and transcoding across H.264, H.265 and SpeedHQ, plus NDI (HB/HX/HX3), SRT, RTMP, RTSP, HLS and more.
FN-7 / FN-8: Bi-directional 3G-SDI and HDMI conversion cards designed for seamless hybrid workflows between baseband and IP.
FXC-A8800: A compute module featuring an industrial AMD processor that allows Windows or Linux applications to run directly within the chassis, turning the RF02 into a software-defined production engine.
