The Ultimate Multi-Channel NDI Powerhouse

The BirdDog 4K Quad is the definitive solution for high-density NDI encoding and decoding. Designed for professionals who need to manage multiple high-resolution signals simultaneously, this device features four selectable 12G-SDI ports. Whether you are converting four independent 4K60 camera feeds to NDI or decoding network sources back to SDI for a video wall, the 4K Quad handles it all with the precision of BirdDog’s custom NDI silicon.

Scalable Networking and Fiber Connectivity

To support the massive data requirements of four simultaneous 4K streams, the 4K Quad includes an SFP+ expansion slot. This allows you to bypass the limitations of standard copper Ethernet by using 10GbE fiber modules. This capability makes the 4K Quad ideal for campus-wide installations, large stadiums, and interconnected broadcast galleries where high bandwidth and long-range connectivity are non-negotiable.

Advanced Communication and Tally Integration

A professional production requires more than just a video signal. The 4K Quad features a large, integrated bicolor tally system to keep talent informed of their live status. Furthermore, the unit includes BirdDog Comms Lite software, providing a dedicated audio intercom gateway for your crew. With its 3.5mm audio I/O, you can monitor camera audio or engage in director-to-operator talkback directly through the NDI network.

Built for the Future of IP Video

Housed in a rugged, aircraft-grade aluminum chassis, the 4K Quad is as durable as it is powerful. It features a future-ready hardware set, including an HDMI 2.0 output designed for upcoming firmware-enabled cross-conversion. With full support for BirdDog Central and Comms Pro software, this device is not just a converter—it is a comprehensive command center for your entire IP-based video infrastructure.
