BirdDog PLAY Pro

Professional Compact NDI Decoder

The missing link between NDI and your screen
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.

Pro-Grade Decoding - Built for Real-World Workflows
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.

Remote KVM. Control Any Computer Over IP
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.

Fast Switching. No Waiting
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 Simplicity. Pick a source, and you’re ready to go
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 brings the connections AV and broadcast installers actually need
• PoE for single-cable installs
• GbE for stable IP workflows
• HDMI output for displays projectors, production monitors
• USB ports for keyboard, mouse and accessories
