The BirdDog Mini is a small encoder to NDI for HDMI video sources. Connect your camera or other video source and make it instantly available on your NDI network. Despite its size, the BirdDog Mini supports resolutions from 1080p up to 59.94fps. It accepts PoE, so the Mini can be powered through a network connection; no power supply is required. Tally information is displayed and passed through to compatible equipment. The Mini's small size allows it to be used at home, in studios and video production facilities using NDI technology.
A built-in two-color Tally display can show video source information on-air. You can power the Mini via the DC input from the camera's battery by D-tap or use a power adapter, available separately. Power can also be supplied over Ethernet via a PoE switch or injector.
