We get it. Sound is equally as important as the visuals in your live productions. Kiva cleanly handles the audio needs required by most live-event presentations. That’s why digital audio that is captured, stored, and presented by Kiva is handled with professional quality using 48kHz sampling and 24-bit resolution. Learn more…
We know crucial digital media will arrive at your live production facility through a wide variety of means—sometimes, at the very last conceivable moment. That’s why Kiva is designed with the connectivity required to handle just about every possible ingest scenario. Learn more…
Kiva is designed from the ground up to be operationally stable and extremely robust, ensuring your live productions are presented without any glitches or missed cues. Learn more…
The Kiva operator isn’t the only person in the control room that needs to monitor the Preview and Program players. That’s why each set of these ‘player channel pairs’ features a built-in Quad Viewer, provided on a dedicated HD-SDI video output. Learn more…
The comprehensive Kiva user interface isn’t the only way to control media playout from the PVW and PGM players. Several remote-control alternatives are also available. Learn more…
Some folks need a little bit of media storage. Some folks need a lot! Kiva has you covered, either way. Learn more…
Kiva is available in a Single-Channel model or Dual-Channel model, so you can choose the option that best fits your production needs and budget.
The Kiva Single-Channel model features one base-band video+audio recording input, one Preview Video+Key Player output, and one Program Video+Key Player output. The Kiva Dual-Channel model simply doubles these video channel resources.
On a limited budget or not yet ready for Kiva Dual-Channel? Start with the Kiva Single-Channel model and then later upgrade to the Kiva Dual-Channel model when your budget permits or when your production needs change.
For real-time record and play operations, the high-performance Kiva Live Presentation Server utilizes high-quality AVC-Intra video hardware. When importing video media files into Kiva, this professional-level image quality is best maintained by creating those files with AVC-Intra Class 100 video codec.
When AVC-Intra Class 100 media files are imported into Kiva, no media file transcoding is involved so they are imported in the shortest amount of time. Import speeds can range from 5X up to 40X real-time when 10-gigabit data connections are used in conjunction with external storage devices that incorporate similar, extremely high-speed technology such as storage devices featuring modern NVMe SSD technology.
Kiva can also easily ingest media files created with just about any other video codec. These files will be cleanly transcoded into the AVC-Intra codec upon import into Kiva—however, these files will ingest at speeds much slower than AVC-Intra Class 100 media files.
