In the world of NDI there are two flavours, NDI and NDI|HX. NDI is a variable bit rate, I-Frame codec that is reaches around 140Mbits at 1080p60 and is visually lossless. NDI|HX is a compressed, long-GOP, H.264 variant that reaches around 12Mbits at 1080p60. P100 is a Full NDI camera. The best pictures come from the best silicon. P100 is teams up a world class Sony CMOS Backlit Sensor with the BirdDog custom NDI chip to form a match made in silicon heaven. Your productions deserve the best. Lightning auto focus.

PTZ Keyboard can control P100 over NDI or by RS422 / RS232 when using in SDI mode. 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.
