BirdDog OG4

BirdDog OG4

BirdDog OG4 is the world's first NDI OpenGear card. It offers four independently configurable 12G-SDI ports. Full dashboard support is included as well as an SFP+ port for 10GbE connectivity. It is fully compatible with the fourth generation of the openGear platform, oGx, a modular 2RU rack frame system with an open architecture. BirdDog OG4 provides full support for Dashboard, the freely available OpenGear control software for MacOS, Windows, and Linux. The SFP+ port (industry standard) enables short, medium, and long-range fiber connections and supports Ethernet protocols from 1GbE to 10GbE. The device supports all video formats up to 4Kp60 (including all HD formats). In encoding mode, up to four channels of 4Kp60 can be processed simultaneously, while in decoding mode, a maximum of two channels of 4Kp60 or four channels of 4Kp30 or 1080p60 can be processed simultaneously. Each channel offers independent control of frame rates and resolution. The openGear frames are equipped with integrated fans for optimal cooling of all cards. They can be equipped with two redundant power supplies, enabling very high reliability and long operating times.
