NDI® wallplates for the ultimate AV experience.
NDI Wallplates are the answer to elegant and durable NDI installations. With two models to choose from, Dual Input or Dual Output, they are designed to make boardroom or conference room setups a breeze. Install the Dual Output in the wall to stream content to the TV screens and install the Dual Input in the conference table, for example, to connect the HDMI output from laptops and other devices. With the intermediate NDI connection using standard CAT cables, the EDID data is also transmitted.
The wallplates are all based on an NDI chip developed by BirdDog itself and can be fully automated or controlled externally via the programmable RESTful API. The wallplates also support power supply via PoE (Power-over-Ethernet), microphone input, speaker output, interchangeable faceplates and soft-glow status indicators. A user-friendly, web-based management console also allows settings to be changed.
Wallplate Input.
Wallplate Input has two independent inputs, each with EDID, and is designed to connect cameras, laptops and other devices to convert them to the world of NDI. Perfect for installation in boardrooms, conference rooms, lecterns, stages and anywhere else you have sources that need to be converted to NDI. There is also a microphone input.
RESTful API. DIY automation.
BirdDog wallplates are programmable via the free RESTful API. It has never been easier to integrate NDI into automated and integrated AV solutions, regardless of the parent system.
Download the free BirdDog RESTful API and program your own automation for all BirdDog hardware endpoints, including cameras.
Flush-mounted.
The wall plate can be installed flush in almost any wall or surface, e.g. in the walls of meeting rooms, conference tables and lecterns.
One cable for PoE, video and audio.
The NDI wallplates are supplied with power via PoE, so you only need to lay a single Ethernet cable to supply the devices with power and transmit video and audio at the same time. One cable for all situations.
Extreme speed.
BirdDog's revolutionary custom silicon chip powers the world's best NDI® products. Only BirdDog hardware is capable of line-based processing to ensure the fastest NDI® encoding or decoding technically possible.
Interchangeable faceplates. Softly illuminated indicators.
Wallplate offers a variety of faceplate options in different colors and textures. The faceplates can be clicked in and out quickly and easily for maximum convenience. The elegant softglow displays can be configured in any color scheme.
Web Management Console.
NDI Wallplates are a true IP device and come with a complete web management console for easy configuration. Simply open a web browser on the network, enter the IP address of the device, log in with our secure password and you have access to all the parameters of the devices.
Distribute NDI® content everywhere.
BirdDog Central is a software platform that will redefine the way we deliver content to TV screens. By connecting Central to any NDI® source, including any BirdDog hardware that can create NDI® sources, you can route your NDI® streams to a BirdDog Studio NDI or Mini to decode NDI® back to SDI or HDMI.
