/in /by

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.

SDM Family by BirdDog: Integrate & Scale NDI to Screen

/in /by

BirdDog SDM Family, the ultimate NDI experience integrated, is built on Intel® SDM platform and revolutionizes how content is distributed!

Install the BirdDog SDM module inside an SDM compatible flat panel display for an integrated & scalable NDI to screen solution. AV distribution is built directly into the display, no wall box or patch panel needed.

BirdDog_SDM_IntegratedNDI_TEVIOS

Choose from two SDM modules, controlled by the all-in-one BirdDog OS:

  • M1: Full NDI Sender & Receiver – based on Intel SDM-L form factor
  • M2: NDI Receiver – built on Intel SDM-S module

The modules support resolutions up to 4Kp60. RESTful API is also available for programming automated spaces.

Furthermore, add an optional Dante activation license for full Dante support. With this activation, M1 embeds Dante into the NDI stream and de-embeds Dante audio out of the NDI stream.

TAG Announces Support for NDI 5 & SRT

/in /by

TAG Video Systems recently added support for NDI 5, the latest version of Network Device Interface, and SRT, Secure Reliable Transport. These two protocols increase connectivity and signal transport options while opening the door to further collaboration and creativity!

NDI 5

Network Device Interface (NDI) is a realtime low latency IP video network technology that allows users to build IP-based video networks and benefit from uncompressed video IP networks. With NDI 5, connect to a wide range of NDI sources such as cameras, switchers, PCs, phones, and video conferencing applications (i.e. Skype). Also capture the output from PCs in order to add websites, PC UIs and video conference participants as tiles on a TAG mosaic. Additionally, enable NDI as an output format. This creates an inexpensive, low-latency and high-quality connection to display devices.

SRT

Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) is an open-source transport protocol. It allows for robust transmission of high-quality high-bandwidth video signals over public internet, unmanaged networks, and WANs without loss or impairments. SRT assures transport of signals across networks with no loss of quality and minimal latency while providing encryption, protecting content during transit. Thanks to SRT support, acquire signals from distant viewers such as remote workers. SRT is often used in cloud workflows and ground to cloud/cloud to ground links to build live linear cloud workflows.

Finally, when current TAG customers upgrade to the latest version of TAG software, they can enable NDI and SRT at no additional cost.

Contact us for more information about TAG’s support for NDI and SRT!
