1. Introduction
KMU-100 is an advanced video converter allowing conversion of UHD input signals into 4
different streams with resolution up to FullHD. Each device has two UHD inputs which work simultaneously.
You can define 4 output windows on every UHD source signal. The resolution of a window in
channel 1 can be up to 3860x2160, while channels 2, 3 and 4 support resolution of windows
up to 1920x1080 pixels. Every window can be animated. Animation is made by defining the Start and End positions, along with their transition mode (single, loop, ping-pong). During the animation, every window can change its size. This feature simulates the digital zoom.
1.1 Functions and features of KMU 100
KMU 100 is an advanced video converter that allows processing and conversion of UHD signals (3840x2160), for example: 12G SDI or HDMI 2.0 into four or eight different high-
quality streams, at resolutions up to FullHD. KMU has got two independent conversion channels!
This enables simultaneous and parallel processing of two UHD signal sources – 3840x2160, the input signals are converted into 8 3G SDI outputs, which can be additionally synchronized to a Genlock input.
This solution is ideal for professionals who deal with production and broadcasting of video materials using a variety of sources and signal types. It is perfect to apply both on the set and during the life coverage of events.

In addition, KMU 100 converter is really easy to use. Complete software is provided with the device, and the control over all its functions and parameters is exercised via a LAN connected computer with the application installed. The small size of the device, its user­friendly interface, and the support with DV Link platform also positively influence converter’s usability and user experience.
1.2 How does KMU 100 operate?
KMU 100 is able to simultaneously convert signals from two video inputs with resolutions
up to UHD (3840x2160). It supports a variety of video formats and enables the connection of signal sources in the form of SDI and HDMI, including 12G SDI and HDMI 2.0 technologies.
The output signals are as many as 8 channels. They are created for each channel by indicating an active area from the area of the device’s input signals. These areas are defined in the application installed on a computer connected to the KMU 100 device via LAN.
The definition of the area, which will determine the output content, is nothing more than a simple positioning of a rectangle in the MultiViewer preview for a given channel. Each of the rectangles is marked with a different border color. For one of the channels you can scale the signal from full 4K resolution to FullHD, and there is up and down scaling (zoom) possible for all other outputs. The output area (position of each rectangle) may be a function of a variable, which means in constant motion. For each rectangle, there are simple animations available; you just need to select one of the available modes. The scope of all the settings and the end positions are defined in the application in a user friendly interface.
The areas defined by the rectangles create 8 SDI outputs (2 x 4 or 1 x 8).
Two multiviewer (HDMI) outputs are used for preview and for device’s configuration.
KMU 100 means multiple applications and uses, as this device allows for a variety of effects
that will satisfy every professional engaged in production, broadcasting and also events’ live coverage with the use of audiovisual materials!

2. Capabilities, functionalities and applications
KMU 100 – is a bridge connecting 4K technologies with current video systems solutions. This
device has a very wide range of applications in virtually every area where the high quality image preview is required, – like sporting events, industrial automation, visual effects used during all kinds of live events or postproduction.
Below, you can find several applications shown as examples of possible uses of our device:
2.1 Image production and postproduction
KMU 100’s capabilities are perfect for, among others, video image postproduction. The
material is recorded with one or two video cameras at 4k resolution.
With KMU 100, you can not only change the composition, but also the shots. The end result will resemble the usage of several cameras, and, with your mixer’s help, the transitions between them will be smooth and natural. At the same time, this solution allows for the material to be realized by a single camera operator – thus allowing the reduction of production costs. And the resulting material will still be of a high quality and FullHD resolution, as if it was realized by several operators.

2.2 Creating a video wall
Video walls are a modern and increasingly popular solution used in entertainment, advertising, marketing, and special events. With its capability to separate the signal from 4K inputs, KMU 100 converter is an excellent tool for creating a video wall by multiplying the signal from one or two 4K sources.
And a video wall created with two KMU 100 devices attains a resolution of 8K!
