Professional compact NDI Decoder
BirdDog PLAY Pro is the simplest way to put NDI® video on a display. Whether it’s a camera feed, return feed, confidence monitor, or live video away from the switcher, PLAY Pro gets it there - instantly and reliably.
Just connect it, power it with PoE, and plug in a screen. Built around a next-generation processor, PLAY Pro is smaller, significantly quieter, and housed in a rugged metal enclosure with proper mounting options, designed to live neatly behind a display and work day after day. With NDI KVM support, it’s not only for viewing video - you can interact and stay in control.
If you need NDI® on a screen, you need PLAY Pro.
Play Pro is built on a next-generation decoding engine designed for professional reliability.
It supports NDI®, NDI® HX3, and modern IP formats at up to 4Kp60, delivering smooth, stable playback without compromise.
Plug in a keyboard and mouse and instantly take control of a remote Mac or PC. It’s like being physically in front of the machine - even if it’s in a rack room, another floor, or across the facility.
PLAY Pro switches between NDI® sources instantly. No delay, no black frames - just the next feed, right when you select it. Whether you’re changing camera angles, showing a return feed, or moving between live sources, Fast Switching keeps everything in sync and responsive.
BirdUI is the easiest and fastest way to access all the functions and settings of your BirdDog Play Pro. A browser-based application that can be accessed from anywhere on the same network as the BirdDog device.
PLAY Pro is designed to live in professional environments. Its rugged metal enclosure, combined with an included VESA / Multi Mount, allows it to be securely installed behind a display, inside an AV cabinet, under a desk — in any orientation. Clean, compact, and installation-ready, PLAY Pro integrates seamlessly into AV furniture and fixed setups, delivering a reliable solution built to stay in place.
