Professional 4K NDI Decoding Made Simple

The BirdDog PLAY Pro is a high-performance, compact NDI player designed to bridge the gap between your NDI network and any HDMI display. Equipped with a next-generation processor, it effortlessly converts NDI and NDI|HX3 signals into a stunning HDMI 2.0 output. Whether you are monitoring a live camera feed, setting up a confidence monitor, or extending a return feed away from the switcher, the PLAY Pro delivers ultra-low latency and broadcast-quality 4K60 resolution.

Advanced Connectivity and PoE Power

Engineered for the modern IP-based workflow, the PLAY Pro prioritizes ease of installation. The RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port supports PoE, allowing you to deliver both data and power through a single cable. For environments without PoE infrastructure, the device includes a USB-C power option. This flexibility, combined with its whisper-quiet operation, makes it the ideal choice for corporate boardrooms, live event spaces, and high-end broadcast galleries.

Intuitive Control with BirdUI

Managing your NDI sources has never been more accessible. Through BirdUI—BirdDog’s browser-based management interface—users can quickly configure settings, update firmware, and manage network parameters from any device on the network. For more hands-on control, the PLAY Pro features two USB-A ports, allowing you to plug in a keyboard and mouse to remotely operate connected computers across the NDI network, transforming the player into a versatile remote-operation hub.

Industrial Build and Stealth Installation

The PLAY Pro is built to be tucked away while performing at the highest level. Its small footprint and metal enclosure ensure it fits into tight spaces without overheating. With the included VESA/Multi-Mount kit, you can securely attach the unit to the back of a 75x75mm or 100x100mm display, mount it under a desk, or integrate it into a standard AV rack. This "install anywhere" philosophy ensures your workspace remains clean while your monitoring capabilities expand.
