More than a Converter. A Portable Video Workstation.
At Craltech, we believe that field engineering should be defined by power and simplicity, not by a bag full of single-purpose boxes. Kio is our answer: a high-performance, unified core that integrates an entire rack of functionality into a single, handheld device.
We are currently in the Advanced Engineering & Prototyping Phase of Kio: a rugged, portable workstation designed to be the definitive solution for the modern 12G-SDI and 4K HDMI world.
Born in Barcelona. Engineered for the Field.
Kio is not an assembly of third-party components. It is a proprietary hardware platform developed from the ground up by our engineering team in Barcelona.
Proprietary Image Cores
Powered by our own custom-developed FPGA algorithms, ensuring superior signal integrity and professional-grade image processing across every function.
Rugged Construction
A precision-machined Aluminum Chassis built to withstand the mission-critical demands of OB Vans, Live Events, and Rental Kits.
Intuitive Control
Features a built-in 2” front TFT display for real-time signal verification, reliable access to menus and configurations.
Full Set of Connectivity
Equipped with 12G-SDI, 4K HDMI, Audio, and SFP slots, ensuring seamless integration into long-haul fiber infrastructures and modern professional workflows.
Current Engineering Roadmap
Our lab is currently perfecting the “Personalities” of the Kio engine. We are integrating a sophisticated suite of tools to provide a complete, standalone workstation experience:
The Hub | Universal Connectivity
Bi-directional 12G-SDI, 4K HDMI, and SFP Fiber Cross-Conversion + High-Quality Scaling.
The Lab | Signal Integrity
Professional Signal Analysis (Waveform & Vectorscope) and Pattern Generator.
The Bridge | Advanced Monitoring
Transform any standard screen into a Broadcast Monitor with Focus Assist, Peaking, 3D LUTs and QuadSplit processing.
The Creative | Display Intelligence
Advanced VideoWall Controller with 360° rotations.
The Studio | Field Production
Integrated Video Switcher with clean transitions and Logo/Graphic insertion.
Shape the Final Design
We have the hardware power. You have the field experience.
The Kio architecture is designed to be flexible. As we finalise the firmware and the “Out-of-the-Box” configurations, we want to hear from you. Help us prioritise the roadmap and tell us if there is anything we've missed.
