The black P240 40X Full NDI PTZ Camera with HDMI/3G-SDI from BirdDog is a Full NDI PTZ camera that offers increased light sensitivity via its Sony Exmor 1/2.5" CMOS 8.5MP sensor while capturing sharp and vivid images in resolutions up to 1080p60. Output options include NDI, HDMI, and 3G-SDI as well as balanced XLR audio via an optional breakout cable. The camera features an integrated ND filter.

The IP output delivers Full NDI and other flavors of NDI, with optional BirdDog Cloud 3.0 integration unlocking access from globally connected, remote production locations. The IP address is visible via the integrated OLED display, which also displays the device name, stream name, resolution, and frame rate being used. The P240 supports Full NDI 5.5 for optimal compatibility across all NDI ecosystems.

The P240 can generate scopes to send out as NDI, NDI Proxy, or both. This allows for monitoring scopes on the NDI Proxy while sending a clean main NDI feed simultaneously. Choose from histogram, waveform, vectorscope, or RGB parade and the position on the NDI stream.

The innovative Mohawk tally gives a full 360° view, so you'll never be caught out wondering which camera you need to be talking to.

Select an NDI source to be the timing master to provide more predictable timing in multi-camera environments.

FreeD is a protocol for sending PTZ positioning data to AR/VR systems including Unreal Engine, Brainstorm, Vizrt's Viz Virtual Studio, and it's all built right into the BirdUI.

Q: 7. Can I use this as an NDI Source in OBS or Xsplit Broadcaster? Do I need the transmitter to be on the same network as the receiving device?

A: Yes, an NDI workflow is compatiable with X-Split and OBS. The transmitter does need to be on the same network, it's integral to how NDI functions. Evey component of this workflow has to be NDI compatiable.Newtek has plugins and software available to make your computer, OBS, and Xsplit Broadcaster NDI compatible on their website.

Q: 8. Does anyone have real world experience with what the latency would be when you decode the signal back to hdmi?

A: The amount of latency will vary depending on a number of factors such as how many devices are on the network The types of devices on the network the bandwidth of the network switch or devices used to create the network. We typically recommend NDI for internet broadcasts or recording as these situations are not affected by latency or present opportunity to fix latency issues via Video/Audio Delay settings We typically do not recommend NDI for venues where the output will be displayed in the same room as the live content as there is always a delay. while it is possible to minimize the delay it is not possible to eliminate it and for most venues that is a deal breaker.

Q: 9. Does this need to use use ethernet or can it transmit NDI over a wireless network?

A: The BirdDog Flex 4K HDMI In to Full NDI Encoder cannot be used wirelessly. NDI cannot be use wirelessly either.
