NDI Encode or Decode. Choose your own adventure.
Built with total flexibility in mind Studio NDI can be configured as an NDI Encoder or NDI Decoder with a simple click of a button. Studio NDI is the World’s Only NDI Hardware capable of Encoding resolutions up to 1080p60 SDI and HDMI to NDI and Decoding NDI resolutions up to 1080p60 to SDI or HDMI.
Full NDI. No compromises.
In the world of NDI there are two flavours, NDI and NDI|HX. NDI is a variable bit rate, I-Frame codec that is reaches around 140Mbits at 1080p60 and is visually lossless. NDI|HX is a compressed, long-GOP, H.264 variant that reaches around 12Mbits at 1080p60. Studio NDI hardware only Encodes and Decodes Full YUV422 NDI.
Extreme Speed. It’s all about the silicon.
BirdDog’s revolutionary custom silicon chip is what drives the best NDI products on the planet. Only BirdDog’s hardware can do line-based processing to give the fastest possible NDI Encoding or Decoding technically possible.
