Frequently Asked Questions - RN03 Kiloview

What is the Kiloview RN03 used for?

The Kiloview RN03 is a compact network video encoder and decoder designed for streaming and converting HDMI video signals over IP networks.

How do I connect the RN03 to my network?

Connect an Ethernet cable from the RJ45 port to your network switch or router. The device supports PoE (Power over Ethernet), so it can be powered directly via the network cable if your switch supports it.

What video resolutions are supported?

The RN03 supports video resolutions up to 1080p60 for both input and output. It also supports lower resolutions like 720p and 480p.

Can I use the RN03 for live streaming to YouTube or Facebook?

Yes, the RN03 supports RTMP streaming, which is compatible with platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch. Simply configure the RTMP URL and stream key in the web interface.

How do I access the web interface of the RN03?

By default, the RN03 obtains an IP address via DHCP. Use a network scanner or check your router's DHCP client list to find its IP. Then enter that IP in a web browser to access the configuration page.

Does the RN03 support both encoding and decoding simultaneously?

No, the RN03 operates either as an encoder (HDMI input to network output) or as a decoder (network input to HDMI output). You must select the mode in the settings.

What is the power consumption of the RN03?

The RN03 consumes less than 5W under normal operation. It can be powered via DC 12V adapter or PoE.

How do I update the firmware on the RN03?

Download the latest firmware from the Kiloview support website. In the web interface, go to System > Firmware Upgrade and upload the file. Do not power off during the update.

Why is there no video output from the RN03?

Check the HDMI cable and ensure the source device is powered on. Verify the input resolution is supported (up to 1080p). If using decoder mode, confirm the network stream is active.

Can I use the RN03 with third-party NVR software?

Yes, the RN03 supports standard protocols like RTSP and RTMP, which are compatible with most NVR and video management software such as OBS, VLC, and Blue Iris.

Before using this product, it is recommended that you read the guide carefully. To ensure your personal safety and avoid physical or electrical damage to the device. Please strictly follow the instructions of this guide or install and use it under the guidance of professionals. Incorrect electrical connections or physical installation may cause permanent damage to the device and even threaten personal safety.

1. RN03 Installation

Align the card assembly with the card slots and push in vertically, then tighten the double-sided screws. Reverse the process for removal.

12V Fan powered

Note

• The chassis is a plug-in structure, which can easily complete the replacement/mixing of N series codec, realizing the same chassis compatible with 1/2/3/4 channels and multi-interface, encoding/decoding mixed solutions. The chassis has no centralize power supply, and each module needs to be powered separately for normal operation.
• Tally-green light: indicates that the current video is in Preview state; red light: indicates that the current video is in Program state.
• The chassis is a plug-in structure, which can easily complete the replacement/mixing of N series codec, realizing the same chassis compatible with 1/2/3/4 channels and multi-interface, encoding/decoding mixed solutions. The chassis has no centralize power supply, and each module needs to be powered separately for normal operation.
• LED indicator. Power: always white indicates that power is connected; LINK: white flashing indicates normal network access; Run: flashing white indicates normal work in progress LED indicator.
