Kiloview D260 update enables dynamic TS stream track selection

The D260 update transitions a standalone decoder into a unified component of Kiloview's high-density modular ecosystem. By adding dynamic TS track selection, Kiloview targets complex broadcast workflows where operators must toggle between various language tracks or program feeds without hardware reboots. This aligns with a broader industry shift toward software-defined production where hardware is managed via centralized oversight hubs like the AVX24-4. As Pro AV environments increasingly adopt NDI and SRT, the focus on fixing protocol-specific identification bugs and memory leaks is critical for 24/7 reliability in mission-critical streaming. Watch for subsequent updates to the KiloLink Station to see if Kiloview further consolidates hardware management and bonding reception into a single UI.

The D260 firmware release coincides with Kiloview’s broader effort to consolidate its AV-over-IP ecosystem, a strategy highlighted at InfoComm and NAB 2026. Per Digital Studio India (January 2026), the company recently launched the AVX24-4 Media Hub and KiloLink Station to replace complex decentralized setups. The AVX24-4 specifically provides visualized network topology and PTP-based precision timing for NDI sources, addressing synchronization issues common in large-scale IP deployments. By integrating the D260 into these platforms, Kiloview allows engineers to manage decoding parameters and monitor device health alongside its P-series bonding encoders and modular RF02 frames.

The RF02 platform, detailed by VideoExpert (February 2026), represents Kiloview’s push into high-density rack environments. The 2RU chassis supports up to 18 hot-swappable service cards and features an integrated 24-port switch. This firmware update ensures the D260 remains compatible with this modular architecture, which Kiloview claims can reduce rack space requirements by up to 70% compared to traditional standalone hardware setups. This infrastructure pivot is intended to facilitate transitions from legacy SDI paths to hybrid IP workflows for OB vans and corporate auditoriums.

Broadly, the video transport market is moving toward embedded real-time processing and protocol interoperability. Per Net Insight (2026), reliable video over IP now requires hardware-accelerated platforms that can handle protocol conversion and format adaptation at the edge without external dependencies. Kiloview's update to the D260, focusing on TS over UDP and RTP stability, reflects this demand for robust performance over unmanaged networks. Furthermore, the global HD video transmission market is projected to reach $12 billion by 2026, driven by a growing reliance on low-latency protocols like SRT and the latest NDI iterations according to industry reports from XR Smarts.
