Welcome to the Future
What is NDI®?
Your new PTZ Keyboard has been designed from the ground up 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, deliver, and receive high denition 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 to anywhere on a network. Even ll and key alpha
channel information, as well as Tally, can be sent over this same cable. If you have a Gigabit network,
you have a now have the potential for a streamlined, interconnected, video production environment.
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 neccessary
endpoints.
BirdDog has been on the NDI® journey since the very beginning and your PTZ Keyboard is just one of
our products designed to take advantage of the features and potential of NDI®.
