Kiloview U4
IP Video Dock
The U4 is not only a decoder in the traditional sense.
Kiloview calls it an IP Video Dock, and the distinction matters. Where a standard decoder converts IP video to a single HDMI output for a display, the U4 converts IP video into whatever the downstream device needs—USB for a conference laptop, HDMI for a room display, or DisplayPort for a monitoring screen. Often all three at once.
Input protocol support is broad: NDI HB, NDI HX2, NDI HX3, RTSP, SRT, RTMP, UDP, RTP, and HLS. Decoding handles H.264 and H.265, with planned support up to 4K60. Two logical output channels (Output 1 and Output 2) map independently to the physical interfaces—USB Type-C (UVC/UAC), HDMI 2.1, and DisplayPort —giving you real flexibility in how you route signals to different destinations simultaneously.
The hardware is compact: 100 × 62 × 18 mm, powered over USB without requiring an external adapter in most setups. Dual USB 3.0 Type-C ports deliver up to 9W combined; PD charging is also supported for permanent installations. Networking is handled by a single RJ45 gigabit Ethernet port.
“Meeting and display systems are typically not designed for IP video workflows,” said Judy Zuo, VP of Sales & Marketing at Kiloview. “Yet we see professional IP video moving beyond production and into everyday communication spaces, and U4 is part of our effort to make that transition simpler and easier for users.”
No Drivers. No Virtual Camera.
No Software Workarounds. Just Plug and Connect.
The typical workaround for getting IP video into a conference call—NDI Tools, OBS, a virtual camera driver, or some combination—works until it doesn’t. Driver conflicts after a Windows update, IT security policies blocking unsigned software, CPU overhead on underpowered room PCs.
The U4 moves all of that complexity into hardware. The conference computer sees a standard UVC camera and UAC audio device, reducing the risk of software-related issues during OS updates.
For BYOD rooms, this matters practically. A visiting laptop can connect via USB-C and access configured IP video sources as a standard UVC/UAC device—whether that’s an NDI PTZ, an RTSP camera, or an SRT feed coming in from another location.
One Source, Multiple Destinations
Route IP Video to Multiple Destinations at Once.
A single camera feed often needs to do several jobs at once: join a Teams meeting, drive a local confidence monitor, and feed a recording system simultaneously.
The U4 supports same-source multi-output mode, where one IP stream is delivered across USB, HDMI, and DP at the same time. It also supports dual-source independent output, where Output 1 and Output 2 pull from entirely different sources.
In practice: a presenter’s NDI camera might go out over USB into the meeting software, while a separate SRT stream from a remote guest feeds the HDMI-connected room display.
No additional decoder, no distribution amplifier, no extra conversion step.
Where It Gets Deployed
- BYOD/BYOM meeting rooms — professional IP cameras instantly available to any visiting laptop, zero software required
- Education and lecture capture — classroom camera feeds local display and remote teaching platform at the same time
- Corporate AV — standardized hardware rollout across multiple rooms without per-room software management overhead
- High-security environments — hardware-based decoding removes any need to install software on locked-down managed endpoints
As IP video becomes increasingly common across enterprise, education and ProAV environments, organizations need more than a simple protocol converter. They need a reliable endpoint between AV-over-IP infrastructure and the people who use it. That is exactly where U4 fits. The Kiloview U4 IP Video Dock helps bridge the last mile between professional IP video sources and the meeting rooms, classrooms and display systems that depend on them.
