Stream your HDMI feed over an IP network with the KDS-SW2-EN7 AVoIP Auto-Switch Encoder with USB-C and HDMI Inputs from Kramer. Suitable for large-scale AV content sharing installations such as command and control rooms, the KDS-SW2-EN7 can stream resolutions up to 4k60 via Ethernet over copper cable. Encoding from the incoming HDMI signal, it transmits the USB, IR, RS-232, or CEC signal over an IP network.

Use the existing wires and infrastructure in your corporate office, school, or government venue and quickly distribute your AV content to multiple sources and displays while controlling the unit's functions with protocol commands from the navigation buttons or using Ethernet connectivity and accessing user-friendly, dedicated web pages. The unit is powered via PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) or an optional 24 VDC power adapter.

Q: 1. Does Birddog Mini support NDI-HX?

A: It does not.

Q: 2. can I use 2 of these to: 1) Turn SDI to NDI, TX across my network. 2.) use 2nd box to decode the NDI back to an SDI signal

A: The 4K HDMI unit is just an HDMI Encoder or Decoder. You will need a 4K SDI unit to encode SDI into NDI. Depending on how you want the signal to come out, you will need either an SDI or HDMI unit.

Q: 3. What's the max bitrate, resolution and framerate that this unit does?

A: 1920 x 1080 60fps and the max bitrate setting is 6000kbps

Q: 4. Can someone confirm that it also takes a NDI signal and outputs to HDMI?

A: Yes it does. This product both encodes and decodes NDI from HDMI. You will be able to Decode and NDI signal and output it through HDMI with this product.

Q: 5. Do I need the Birddog Comms software to use the tally and talkback feature?

A: The BirdDog Comms Application, BH #BIBDCOMMS, is the only product we are aware of that allows for talkback with this unit. Tally however should be possible with 3rd NDI switcher options. https://bhpho.to/2K54OB4

Q: 6. Is this NDI only? Does it support RTMP, SRT, or RTSP protocol?

A: Correct, the BirdDog Mini HDMI to NDI Encoder/Decoder will only encoded/decode NDI onto a video source, it will not generate RTMP, SRT, or RTSP.

Q: 7. does this support 1920x1200?

A: The BirdDog Mini HDMI to NDI Encoder/Decoder (B&H# BIBDMINIHDMI) supports up to 1080p 59.94fps, which sometimes is called 1080/60p. That's 1920 x 1080. It will not support 1920 x 1200 and does not feature a scaler to downres to that resolution. But you could add a device to change the resolution (or perhaps just use a lower resolution output from your video source) and still use it.

Q: 8. Does this unit have a 1/4 20 for tripod mounting?

A: The BirdDog Mini HDMI to NDI Encoder/Decoder (B&H# BIBDMINIHDMI) does not have a 1/4"-20 female thread in particular. Rather, to mount this product using a 1/4"-20 thread, just add the separate item called the BirdDog Mini Camera Mount (B&H# BIBDMINICM). See below: https://bhpho.to/3ZJMaUy

Q: 9. Does this equipment work or not? Also, based on BD Website, the BNCs can be independently assigned as an encoder or decoder; is this not true?

A: The 4K Quads will be able to do that, once the final firmware is released. It is not in that current state, but eventually that feature is planned to be on the QUAD. Right now, you can ENCODE all or DECODE all.

Q: 10. Whats in the box? Does it come with the AC adaptor for non bundle package?

A: An AC power adapter is included in the box.
