Welcome to the Future

What is NDI®?

Your new camera has been designed to support the cutting edge NDI® video transmission standard.

NDI® (Network Device Interface) is a high-quality, low-latency, frame-accurate standard that enables compatible

devices to communicate, and deliver and receive high denition video over your existing Gigabit Ethernet network.

Operating bi-directionally, NDI® devices can be auto-detected, powered and controlled over the same Ethernet

cable used to send the video and audio. If you have a Gigabit network, you have the potential for a streamlined,

interconnected, video production environment.

With the introduction of NDI® 5, you can now securely share network sources between remote sites anywhere in

the world - on a single network port. Even a smartphone can be a NDI® source.

Transitioning to NDI® can also occur gradually. Existing SDI or HDMI signals can easily be converted to an NDI®

stream and piped where required on your network and converted back only at the necessary endpoints.

BirdDog has been on the NDI® journey since the very beginning, and your camera is just one of our products

designed to take advantage of the features and potential of NDI®.

For more information on NDI®, please refer to this page on our website.

Getting to Know Your Converter

Thanks for purchasing your BirdDog 4K Converter. Please take some time to read this document to allow you to

get the most out of your purchase and familiarize yourself with the features available in the unit.

Physical Connectors

Powering Your Converter

This converter is equipped with a sophisticated system allowing power from various sources:

PoE+ (Power over Ethernet)

PoE+ is a convenient way to power this converter as it allows both data and power to be sent through the same

standard Ethernet cable. To take advantage of PoE+, the network switch that the converter is directly plugged into

must support PoE+(802.11at).

Dierent network switches are capable of providing diering amounts of total power to all connected devices. This

FLEX 4K converter uses approximately 14 watts in PoE+ mode to operate on its own, and up to 30w when powering

additional equipment.

DC In

Located at the side of the 4K converter is a DC connection port. This power input socket is capable of accepting

12v DC power.

DC Out

Located at the side of the FLEX 4K converter is a DC Out connection port. This power outlet socket is capable of

delivering 12v DC power at up to 15w to power external equipment. Please note that if your external equipment

draws more than 15w the FLEX 4K unit will power o automatically.

NP-Style Battery Plate (4K BACKPACK Only)

The BirdDog FLEX 4K BACKPACK features a NP-style battery plate that allows you to mount the BirdDog FLEX

BACKPACK to another piece of equipment. The NP-style plate is designed to work with most equipment but may

not be possible to connect to all devices owing to physical constraints. Please note the NP-style DV output voltage

is 12v DC.

IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN POWERING EXTERNAL DEVICES

BirdDog FLEX 4K and FLEX 4K Backpack deliver 12v DC outputs which can be used for various purposes from

powering cameras to screens to external recorders. No warranty is given for the use of this feature with regards

to the suitability of your third-party equipment. It is advised that you should carefully check the user guide of

the equipment you wish to power to ensure it is capable of accepting 12v DC input and if there are any warranty

implications for using 3rd party power sources.

Thermal Management

This product has been engineered to be actively cooled. In order to achieve best thermal performance, the fan

assembly has been carefully designed to provide optimum cooling while remaining extremely quiet. It is normal

for warm air to pass through the vent voutlets. The main processor is capable of operating up to 100º C / 212º F.

Operating Your Converter

Boot Up

When FLEX detects a power input, the Halo Tally light will illuminate orange and the network activity indicator will

begin to ash indicating that the device's detection of the computer network. After approx. 20 seconds, the Halo

Tally will ash Red and then Green, indicating the unit is completely booted and ready for operation.

Web Conguration Panel

In this release, the web conguration panel (Web UI) allows you to alter key settings of your converter, specically

A/V settings, and video frame rates, restarting the video processing engine, changing networking parameters and

applying rmware updates.

Access via a Web Browser (URL)

To access the web conguration panel please point your computer web browser to: http://birddog-xxxxx.local/

“xxxxx” is the serial number of the converter, the serial number is printed on the box and on the main unit. Note the

web address is case sensitive and all lower case. Your computer will need to have ‘Bonjour’ services loaded in order

to access the unit as described above. Apple devices come pre-installed with Bonjour, while Windows devices need

a small plugin available here.

Access via IP Address

Your converter is congured to automatically receive a network IP address from the computer network via DHCP

(Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol). Most corporate, education and home networks have a DHCP server present

on the network to allow this to occur. Usually your Internet Router provides this.

If your device receives an IP address automatically from this server (DHCP) the IP address can be discovered in

several ways, including BirdDog Central Lite available from here.

Access Without a Network DHCP Server

Some standalone or private networks may not have a DHCP server. After 30 seconds of waiting for an automatically

assigned IP address, the device will fall back to a default address which is: 192.168.100.100.

In order to access the web conguration panel on a network which is congured to a dierent subnet, change your

computers IP address to match the BirdDog unit’s IP address range. Once you gain access to the BirdDog web

conguration panel choose your IP address to match the rest of the devices on your network.

For instructions on setting your computers IP address, please consult your computer operating system manual or

IT support resources.

Password Management

Once you direct your web browser to the web conguration panel you will need to log in to change any settings.

Default Password

The web conguration panel is secured by a user-selectable password. The default password is:

birddog (one word, lower case).

To change the password, simply log in using the default password, navigate to the network tab in the web interface,

and select change password.

It is recommended to change this password in a network environment where your device is shared with other

users (e.g. not private), since this password grants full access to the conguration settings and could interrupt a live

program.

Dashboard

The Dashboard summarizes the

important settings for the converter

in one convenient location. You can

also reboot the device or restart the

video processing engine.

Reboot Device

Click this button to reboot the unit

after changing key network settings

or the BirdDog name.

Restart Video

Click this button to restart the NDI®

stream. This may be necessary after

changing key image settings e.g.,

resolution.

Network

Most computer networks

provide for both automatic

and manual conguration of

network devices and FLEX can

accommodate both.

Conguration Method

Here you can set the network

conguration to either DHCP

(default) or Static. DHCP

simplies the management of

IP addresses on networks. No

two hosts can have the same

IP address, so assigning them

manually can potentially lead

to errors. If your network is set

up for DHCP, this is generally

the best conguration to

choose.

If you do choose to go with a Static IP address, you’ll need to add the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway

Address information according to the requirements of your network.

DHCP Timeout, Fallback IP address, Fallback Subnet Mask

You can set the timeout period during which FLEX will look for a DHCP IP address. After this period, the camera

will default to the designated fallback IP address.

This can be useful if you use your camera in other network environments. For example, if a DHCP server is available

in your normal oce or studio application, FLEX will use the DHCP supplied IP address. If you then use the camera

in another application without a DHCP server, your device will always default to the known fallback IP address.

NOTE: Do not set the fallback IP address the same as the device IP address. It is recommended to keep the default

fallback IP address.

IP Address Recovery

In the event that the device is not visible on the network, the network has changed, or the static IP address details

have been lost, reset the BirdDog back to its default settings by following the factory reset procedure.

BirdDog Name

You can give your device a meaningful name to make identication easier when viewing NDI® sources on a receiver

such as a TriCaster, vMix or Studio Monitor. Be sure to make the name unique, as no two devices on the network

should have the same name. The name can be any combination of a-z, 0-9, and –.

After renaming your device, navigate back to the System menu and click the REBOOT button. The camera will re-

initialize and you’ll be good to go.
