Built upon Intel SDM platform the BirdDog SDM Family will revolutionise the way content is distributed to even the largest installations. Simply install the SDM module inside an SDM compatible flat panel display for the most integrated and scalable NDI to screen solution available. No more wall boxes or patch panels, now the AV distribution is built directly into the display.

Controlled by the all in one BirdDog OS and with two BirdDog SDM modules to choose from, M1 an M2, there is a solution for every project. M1 is a full NDI Sender and Receiver based on the Intel SDM-L form factor and M2 is an NDI Receiver built on the Intel SDM-S module. With support for resolutions all the way up to 4Kp60, there is also a RESTful API for programming completely automated spaces.

BirdDog OS.

BirdDog have created a complete Operating System for Intel SDM platform, simply called BirdDog OS, to give a truly integrated NDI distribution system. Underpinned with BirdDog’s technology, BirdDog OS has built in Crestron control and a RESTful API for complete automation.

M1.

M1 is an NDI Sender and Receiver module based upon the Intel SDM-L module. Receive NDI from anywhere on the network to display on screen. With the Send function, you can plug a source such as a laptop in and then duplicate that across any number of additional BirdDog Display activated screens.

M2.

M2 is an NDI Receiver module based upon the Intel SDM-S module. Receive NDI from anywhere on the network to display on screen.

Powered by Intel.

BirdDog M1 and M2 are built upon Intel SDM core architecture for maximum performance and reliability. Just as you’d expect when you use the best.

G’day Dante.

With the optional Dante activation licence, the M1 and M2 can have full Dante support. The M1 can embed Dante into the NDI stream and also de-embed Dante audio out of the NDI stream, and the M1 will allow for Dante embedding. Perfect for receiving NDI and splitting Dante out to the audio system in conference rooms, educational facilities, corporate AV spaces, and more.

Multiple Sources.

Harnessing the power of NDI, BirdDog Display can receive see virtually unlimited number of NDI sources on the network. Simply use a remote control or any pointing device to bring that source to full screen.

Beautiful Interface.

The best user experiences are built upon easy to use interfaces. BirdDog OS features a clean and elegant design to make it super intuitive and easy to switch sources.

RESTful API. Crestron Control Library.

BirdDog Display has a complete RESTful API for programming your own automation as well as a Crestron Control Library.

RESTful API. DIY automation.

Download the free BirdDog RESTful API and program your own automation for all BirdDog hardware endpoints, including cameras.

Distribute NDI content everywhere. Just add Central 2.0.

BirdDog Central 2.0 (Sold Separately) is a software platform set to redefine the way we think about driving content to TV screens. By teaming up Central 2.0 with any NDI source, including all BirdDog hardware capable of creating NDI sources, you can now drive your NDI streams to any BirdDog Studio NDI or Mini to decode NDI back to SDI or HDMI.
