Description

The World’s Smallest NDI Encoder and Decoder.

Designed from the ground up around BirdDog’s custom NDI silicon chip, Mini is the ultimate NDI Encoder and Decoder.

Attach Mini to any camera via a HDMI connection and you can introduce that camera source into your NDI workflow. Mini also features a complete Tally system to eliminate the need for multiple boxes on your camera. Mini can also be used as an NDI Decoder making it perfect for Digital Signage and IMAG applications. Simply attach Mini to your HDMI television or HDMI monitor and send NDI sources to the Mini to play out onto the screen.

Due the super intelligent design of the BirdDog custom NDI silicon chip the latency on Mini is insanely low; Just 16ms on encode and 16ms on decode.

Mini is compatible with BirdDog Comms. Comms is a complete Audio Intercom solution that can run on any Windows 10 compatible computer, laptop, or surface for a touch screen experience.
