BirdDog OG4 is the world's first NDI® openGear card. The OG4 has four independently configurable 12G SDI inputs and outputs. Full dashboard support is included as well as an SFP+ port for 10GbE connectivity.
OpenGear is a modular 2RU rack system with open architecture that allows OGs from different manufacturers to work together in complete harmony in the same frame.
Dashboard
BirdDog OG4 offers full support for Dashboard, the freely available, standardized control software for MacOS, Windows and Linux.
SFP+ port for 10GbE connectivity
The industry-standard SFP+ connection enables short, medium and long connections over fiber optics and supports Ethernet protocols from 1GbE to 10GbE.
Encoding and decoding up to 4Kp60.
With support for all resolutions up to 4Kp60, including all HD resolutions, encoding and decoding 4K Full NDI® has never been easier. OG4 supports up to 4x channels for 4Kp60 encode and 2 channels for 4Kp60 decode. Of course, OG4 also supports 4 channels for 1080p60 decode.
Professional cooling. Professional power supply.
openGear frames include integrated fans to ensure maximum cooling for all cards and can be configured with dual redundant power supplies for maximum reliability and uptime.
Independent channel control.
Each channel has independent control of the frame rates and resolutions so that you can combine them as you wish. Set channel 1 to 4Kp60 and channel 2 to 1080i50. The firmware supports all encodings or all decodings and enables independent channel control.
