Device naming
When your device is first powered on it defaults to the naming convention as described in the web configuration panel section
of this manual.
It is possible to change the name along with the network settings to better suit your environment.
IP configuration method
You can configure your device to operate on the network with a dynamic (DHCP) IP address or a fixed address.
For smaller networks DHCP networking is generally suitable, however larger networks with managed operations will often
determine each device needs to have a dedicated and static IP address.
DHCP IP address
DHCP is set as the network configuration by default for Mini.
Static IP address
To enable a static IP address, change configuration method to static and fill in the details required in Address, Mask and Gate-
way. Particular attention should be paid to the Address and Mask fields as incorrect information entered will result in device
not being visible on the network and a factory reset will be required in order to recover the unit.
IP address recovery
In the event that the device is not visible on the network, the network has changed, or the static IP address details have been
lost, reset the BirdDog back to its default settings by following the factory reset procedure.
BirdDog name
You can name each unit with a friendly name that makes sense for each production (Camera 1, Camera 2, etc). This name will
appear on any NDI receiver when it looks for video coming from Mini over the network. The name must not include any special
characters and can be any combination of ‘a-z, 1-0, and –‘.
Note: no uppercase characters are valid.
On NDI receiving devices, the device will present as a source as follows:
birddog-name [HDMI] when the unit is set to automatic input.
