Overview
BirdDog Cloud allows you to expand outside your local network to distribute your NDI content anywhere in the world. Utilizing SRT, Cloud features 128/256-bit AES encryption all the way through the pipeline, so you can send over the public internet with total peace of mind that your streams are secure. SRT video transport protocol even ensures reliable streams over lossy networks. A scalable and modular platform means you only pay for what you need, and with support for NDI Tally, BirdDog Comms, and PTZ Control, Cloud integrates seamlessly with all BirdDog hardware and software solutions.
Floating Licenses
BirdDog Cloud has floating licenses, so you simply get one user license no matter how many activations you purchase. Install on as many machines as you like and only use as many as you have activated.
Ultra-Low Latency
SRT integration means that even over lossy connections you can access any NDI content anywhere in the world at ultra-low latency. Want to remotely produce a live stream in Norway from Melbourne? BirdDog Cloud makes it possible.
PTZ Control, Tally, and Comms
PTZ Control, Tally, and BirdDog Comms (free audio intercom software) are all totally integrated within Cloud. You can remotely control PTZ Cameras from the other side of the world with complete talkback with your camera operators and end-to-end Tally integrated into your production.
Total Encryption
Cloud uses SRT video transport protocol which is end-to-end 128/256-bit AES encrypted to ensure your content is protected from contribution to distribution. Whether it’s a single point-to-point delivery or a single stream to multiple sites, you never need to worry about the security of your streams.
Portable Monitoring
With the WebRTC module you can monitor your NDI streams on an iPad, tablet or other portable device with close to zero latency.
Cloud Command
The BirdDog Cloud Command web user interface is a centralized configuration, management, and monitoring portal. Inside Cloud Command you can quickly view all parameters of your stream, check statistics, and set up any of your end points.
Modules
- Endpoint Core: Everything you need to get started for a single point to point connection.
- Includes Tally, Comms, Video, Audio, and PTZ Control all over a secure and encrypted connection.
- Multi: Multiple stream license that is only limited by how many streams your computer can process.
- The faster the machine, the more streams; this enables multiple, single point to point connections.
- Also enables multiple streams over a single SRT connection.
- Use an End Point at each end and stream from Oslo to New York, Paris, and Melbourne simultaneously.
- All NDI feeds sent from Endpoint to Endpoint will maintain individual sync.
- Multiview: A scalable and powerful NDI Multiviewer that automatically creates the least number of video windows needed while still maintaining a 16x9 aspect ratio.
- Each receiving End Point can configure its own custom Multiviewer.
- NDI for the Multivewer is sent at lower bandwidth NDI to allow more video windows than full bandwidth NDI.
- Controls enable the user to set 720p or 1080p resolutions or throttle the NDI if desired.
- Alpha: Adds support for sending remote graphics or other sources with alpha over the SRT link.
- Record: Add recording for both the source and destination.
- WebRTC: Convert NDI to WebRTC with very low latency as Program out back channel to ENG or other remote productions.
NOTE: Modules may be optional add-ons, depending on the chosen subscription model. This Yearly License contains (2) Endpoints with all Modules included.
