Bitrate Management
Birddog Devices allow you to set your target NDI® output bitrate. This allows you to select a compression ratio that
is more efficient for your networking infrastructure (lower bandwidth) or higher image quality for critical footage.
The scale allows you to select the range of 60 - 360 Mbps.
By setting Bitrate Management to NDI MANAGED, the target bitrate will be set in accordance with the NDI®
standard. By selecting MANUAL you are able to manually select a target bitrate. Select MANUAL with care, as you
will need to account for the capacity of the network and the receiving device.
NDI Groups
NDI® supports Grouping which allows you to hide the visibility of video sources to viewers that are not part of the
group. If disabled (default), the video source is public and viewable by any receiver on your network. Click on the
field and type a group name. Receivers can then scan for, and select your group.
