BirdDog Launches NDI 5

Carving out the NDI path from the very beginning, BirdDog is now excited to launch NDI 5!

With this next generation of hardware and software comes many new features:

  • NDI® Bridge: transport complete NDI streams over LAN, WAN or public internet
  • NDI® Audio Direct: audio-over-IP available for software-based audio applications
  • NDI® Remote: add remote guests to productions
  • Adobe Creative Cloud: plug-in improvements
  • Final Cut Pro: brand new plug-in
  • … and various new tools with easy-to-follow setup guides.

Additionally with NDI 5, discover a new reliable UDP transmission protocol alongside new network interface management.

In order to reduce network resource conflicts with other protocols/applications, NDI 5 lets users specify which network interface will be used by NDI.

Moreover with NDI 5, it’s easy to set up private NDI networks. This ensures NDI streams or inputs cannot be viewed by just anyone on your network.

Dante support & integration coming soon to BirdDog products!

BirdDog will soon bring Dante support to all its hardware products as well as integration into its Comms Pro audio intercom system and its new Dante NDI Bridge application.

Dante for Hardware

Soon all BirdDog products (Studio NDI, Mini, 4K Converters, Wallplates, SDM Modules & PTZ range cameras) will support Dante audio. Input of Dante audio can be streamed out as NDI. If there is an audio output, then audio tracks can be converted from the NDI stream to Dante audio.

Dante Comms Pro Integration

Use hardware from other manufactures with BirdDog’s Comms Pro, its revolutionary audio intercom system. For instance, Dante enabled belt packs and Dante enabled Comms boxes will be compatible.

Dante NDI Bridge Application

This Window 10 application flips audio tracks between NDI and Dante in sub-frame latency. It supports up to 3 stereo pairs, meaning Dante NDI Bridge can receive 3 NDI streams and create 3 stereo pairs of Dante audio. It can also receive a single NDI stream and create 3 Dante stereo audio pairs. The reverse also applies, thanks to Dante NDI Bridge.
