The BirdDog 4K HDMI NDI encoder/decoder supports 4K/60 UHD video input for distribution over NDI networks, with full-bandwidth I-frame compression. The device is housed in an aircraft aluminum enclosure and features HDMI 2.0 input and individual HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI outputs. It has a crossover converter that allows the HDMI input to be looped through to the 12G-SDI output.
Another important feature is the SFP+ expansion slot that supports SFP+ modules to give you fiber connectivity and Ethernet protocols from 1 to 10GbE. A Tally system with a large bi-color light is integrated to show which camera is live. The Tally system allows Tally edges to be selected on the looped output. It comes complete with a 3.5mm audio input/output, a 4-line OLED display and a USB 3.0 interface. It can be powered by a standard power supply or via PoE+.
