Following on from the award winning HD NDI products, the 4K Family has been engineered from the ground up for real-world users. Built around BirdDog's custom NDI silicon chip and housed in an aircraft grade aluminium case, features include 12G SDI and HDMI 2.0 inputs and outputs, built-in cross converter, SFP+ port for 10GbE connectivity, active loop outs, audio intercom system, NDI tally system, PoE, and compatibility with BirdDog's Comms Pro and Central Pro apps. With support for all resolutions up to 4Kp60, including all HD resolutions, Encoding and Decoding 4K Full NDI has never been easier. A full Tally system is built right into the 4K Family and it requires zero configuration. Includes a built-in large Tally light for your on-air talent to easily see which camera is live, plus user selectable Tally borders on loop out. With the optional USB to Ethernet dongle you can control any PTZ camera that supports NDI, NDI|HX, or Visca over IP. Full NDI is a variable bit rate codec. In normal circumstances BirdDog recommends allowing around 140Mbps in HD, or 6 streams per 1GbE cable with some headroom. In 4K it is recommended to allow around 300Mbps or 3 streams with some headroom to allow for any unforeseen spikes. With BirdDog's tools you can select the bit rate to suit your bandwidth and requirements. In both HD you can slide between 80-180Mbps and in 4K you can select the data rate to be anywhere between 60 and 360Mbps.
