While all others promise plug and play, this BirdDog NDI encoder actually is.
5 Stars
While all others promise plug and play, this BirdDog NDI encoder actually is.
(Image of HDMI encoded to NDI attached.)I hate stuff that doesn't work, and especially stuff that only works intermittently. That said, I can pleasantly say this is NOT the case (so far) with these two Bird Dog Mini encoders currently operating in our podcast studio. I added these puppies to utilize more inputs on my TriCaster Mini Advanced Edition, which has been maxed at 4 HDMI inputs for the last year or so. Previously, I had 4 HDMI cameras plugged into the TC, and wanted to utilize the extra inputs for our Two SEALs and a Walrus Podcast, which meant I needed some NDI magic, which I had never even played with. I first tried out an AIDA 12x PTZ NDI|HX as an extra camera, but the TC would not recognize it via NDI, nor would the NDI software monitor on a Mac on the network recognize it either, so I sent that POS back. Then, rather than get some more expensive ($2k/ea) PTZ NDI cameras to use as extra cameras via the network, I opted to try using some existing HDMI cameras and plugged them into a BirdDog Mini to send the HDMI signal through IP Ethernet to the TC over Cat-5 cabling.I bought one BidDog Mini, I plugged in the HDMI cord from the camera to the HDMI Input on the BirdDog, plugged the Cat-5 from the 24 port NetGear switch connecting all the other Cat-5s from computers and the TC, plugged in the BirdDog power to the socket, simply let our Google Home Router assign the DHCP IPs for the BirdDog (Google Home also wired into the NetGear), and after about 2 minutes, it simply appeared as an HDMI input option on the TC, which I assigned to channel 5 on the TC. It just worked. And yes, it was that simple. I had a new camera 5 from an HDMI camera in about 5 minutes. Then I bought another BirdDog Mini, and now have a camera 6 in the same amount of time. I may wind up with two more before this is all said and done. Just because I can.The latency on the signal is almost non-existent, enough where the audio going through the sound mixer from the Shure and Heil mics on the set looks likes it's sync'd with mouth movements when rejoined with the BirdDog video signal on the TC. So no extra work there.I don't know where BirdDog came from, but the NDI performance from these little Mini encoders is stellar and I'm glad BirdDog exists.
