BirdDog Play Pro

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.
