Compact 4K NDI Player

The BirdDog PLAY 4K NDI Player is a professional video device designed to decode NDI streams for display on HDMI screens. It suits broadcast, production and AV installers who need a small, network-connected endpoint for 4K UHD content. The unit integrates directly into existing NDI 5 workflows without requiring a full workstation. It is not for buyers who need built-in recording, multi-channel playout or local file playback.

Silent passively cooled operation

The device measures 85 mm by 85 mm by 19 mm and weighs 97 grams with no moving parts, so it runs silently in studios or meeting rooms. Power is drawn from a standard USB-C connection, keeping cabling simple and heat output minimal. Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45 1000BaseT) provides stable bandwidth for high-bitrate 4Kp60 streams. There is no fan noise to manage in quiet environments.

USB-C power and magnetic mount

A USB-C port supplies power, so the player can run from a display's service port or a compact adapter, freeing a mains socket. The magnetic base and non-slip grip ring let it attach securely behind a TV or sit on a shelf without brackets. HDMI 2.0 carries video up to 4K at 60 fps alongside stereo audio, while a 3.5 mm jack offers analogue output. It does not support PoE or internal storage expansion.

Questions about this item

How is the PLAY 4K NDI Player mounted behind a display and what step is often missed?

The magnetic base and non-slip grip ring attach the 85 mm × 85 mm × 19 mm unit directly to the back of a TV; the step people miss is plugging the USB-C power cable before positioning it, otherwise the player will not start.

What maintenance or replacement will the PLAY 4K NDI Player need over time?

No internal filters, fans or batteries are present, so the only item that may eventually wear out is the USB-C power cable or the HDMI 2.0 lead; keep spares handy for quick swaps.

What is the first limit reached when streaming 4Kp60 continuously over the network?

The Gigabit Ethernet (1000BaseT) link caps sustained throughput, so extended 4Kp60 NDI streams will hit the network bandwidth ceiling before the HDMI 2.0 output or the decoder does.
