SKU CH-7E7M-GST4G MPN BD4KQUAD

Four-channel 12G SDI encoder and decoder converts 4K video at 60 frames per second to and from NDI streams

  • 4-channel 12G SDI encoding for flexible live production
  • HDMI 2.0 cross conversion loops any input to any output
  • 10GbE SFP+ port handles 1 GbE to 10 GbE distances
  • Aircraft-grade aluminum chassis protects internal components on location
  • Proprietary NDI silicon chip integrates directly into NDI workflows

4-Channel 12G SDI NDI Encoder/Decoder

The BirdDog 4K Quad converts four 12G SDI signals to and from NDI streams for live production and streaming workflows. It is built for broadcast professionals who need to move 4Kp60 and HD video over standard IP networks using BirdDog's proprietary NDI silicon chip.

Aircraft-Grade Aluminium Chassis

A robust aluminium enclosure protects the electronics in studio and on-location environments. Dual 12G SDI and HDMI 2.0 ports allow any SDI input to be looped out through HDMI and vice versa, giving operators flexible signal routing without extra converters.

SFP+ 10GbE Port for Network Integration

The onboard SFP+ cage accepts 1GbE to 10GbE modules so the unit fits existing Ethernet infrastructure at the required distance. This single connection carries all four NDI channels, tally, audio and control data, reducing cable runs compared to traditional baseband cabling.

Questions about this item

What does the 12G SDI interface cap at in practice?

The 12G SDI handles video sources up to 4Kp60 and all HD resolutions.

What physical mounting does the aircraft-grade aluminium chassis need?

The rugged chassis is built for on-location and studio environments without specifying rack ears or VESA holes.

How is the SFP+ port installed, and what step is often missed?

Insert a compatible SFP+ module for 1GbE to 10GbE Ethernet connectivity; the module itself is not included.
