Welcome to the Future
What is NDI®?
Your new camera has been designed to support the cutting edge NDI® video transmission standard.
NDI® (Network Device Interface) is a high-quality, low-latency, frame-accurate standard that enables compatible
devices to communicate, and deliver and receive high definition video over your existing Gigabit Ethernet network.
Operating bi-directionally, NDI devices can be auto-detected, powered and controlled over the same Ethernet
cable used to send the video and audio. Even fill and key alpha channel information, as well as Tally, can be sent
over this same cable. If you have a Gigabit network, you have the potential for a streamlined, interconnected, video
production environment.
With the introduction of NDI 5, you can now securely share network sources between remote sites anywhere in the
world - on a single network port. Even a smartphone can be a NDI source.
Transitioning to NDI® can also occur gradually. Existing SDI or HDMI signals can easily be converted to an NDI®
stream and piped where required on your network and converted back only at the necessary endpoints.
BirdDog has been on the NDI® journey since the very beginning, and your camera is just one of our products
designed to take advantage of the features and potential of NDI®.
