Powering your 4K Converter
This converter is equipped with a sophisticated system allowing power from various sources:
PoE+ (Power over Ethernet)
PoE+ is a convenient way to power this converter as it allows both data and power to be sent through the same standard
Ethernet cable. To take advantage of PoE+, the network switch that the converter is directly plugged into must support PoE+
(802.11at).
Different network switches are capable of providing differing amounts of total power to all connected devices. This 4K convert-
er uses approximately 14 watts in PoE mode.
DC
Located at the side of the 4K converter is a DC connection port. This power input socket is capable of accepting 12vDC
power. You should only power this device by the included AC adaptor.
Thermal management
This product has been engineered to be actively cooled. In order to achieve best thermal performance the the entire
enclosure of the converter is designed to dissipate heat. The main processor is capable of operating up to 100º C / 212º F.
Some factors affect how much heat BirdDog will produce, and it is normal for it to feel warm to the touch.
BirdDog has been tested in extreme environments.
