BirdDog supercharges TV & video production with NDI enabled cameras, hardware and software: awesome!

The video industry has gone through a number of revolutions over the past 100+ years, and the last decade has been no different, with the 2016 NDI standard a catalyst for BirdDog's creation, resulting in dramatically transformed TV, video, production and workflow capabilities you need to know about, so please watch the video interview below and read on!

Technology is forever changing and improving, usually for the better, and when networking, the Internet, high definition, remotely operated and super flexible PTZ cameras converge with an award winning software and hardware platform that ties it all together - you start to get a glimpse into the remarkable BirdDog https://www.birddog.tv story.

At its simplest, BirdDog is an Australian-founded but now truly global video technology company that develops and manufactures high quality hardware and software solutions for all types of video productions.

These solutions greatly increase the quality, speed and flexibility of video that can be delivered over existing network infrastructure, be it existing Ethernet in a building or venue, via easily deployable single Ethernet cabling, wirelessly, or over the Internet to anywhere in the world.

As BirdDog explains, these solutions can be easily and effectively effortlessly "implemented without significant capital outlay, effectively democratising broadcast quality video content in an industry historically dominated by highly specialised operators."

Part of the special sauce, besides BirdDog's own advances in hardware, chip design and software, is NDI https://birddog.tv/ndi/ (which stands for Network Device Interface), a royalty-free software standard to "enable video-compatible products to communicate, deliver, and receive high-definition video over a computer network in a high-quality, low-latency manner that is frame accurate and suitable for switching in a live production environment."

The company explains it was first worldwide to develop a custom silicon chip to do NDI encoding and decoding - with a long list of world firsts that followed since, including first NDI hardware encoder, first NDI hardware decoder, first NDI cameras, first NDI Tally hardware, first NDI audio intercom solution, first NDI routing software, first NDI video scopes, first NDI auto-tracking for PTZ Cameras, and many more.

It's really quite remarkable, and with its products widely used by professional video and corporate AV providers including broadcasters, live streaming, corporate installations, TV production, education, events of kinds including concerts, sporting matches and more, houses of worship, digital signage solutions and more, it is fantastic to see an Australian company taking on the world, and delivering world-beating software!
