BirdDog Central 2.0 Ushers in New Era of NDI Routing Control with Browser-Based Support, Smart Grouping of NDI Receivers, Real-Time NDI Routing, Media Playback Engine and Support for Thousands of Sources

BirdDog today announced global availability of Central Pro 2.0 with a free upgrade for all existing Central Pro 1.0 users.

BirdDog Central 2.0 is the industry's first browser-based NDI routing management software that delivers SSO support, smart grouping of NDI receivers, real-time NDI routing, a powerful media playback engine, and support for thousands of sources.

BirdDog Central 2.0 makes routing NDI video across the network easy; users simply select a source, a destination device or group, and hit connect.' And since Central Pro 2.0 is browser-based, users can quickly and easily access the NDI network from wherever they may be, providing a powerful, decentralized solution for managing complex broadcasts anywhere in the world.

Additional key features of BirdDog Central 2.0 include:

Smart Grouping: Users can group NDI decoders together to easily manage content distribution to multiple receivers;

Browser-Based, Decentralized Control: Central 2.0 is browser based so users can access anywhere on the network from wherever they may be in the world;

NDI Routing in 3 clicks: At its core Central 2.0 is an NDI routing application. Route NDI video across the network easily by selecting a source, a destination device or group, and hitting connect.'

Video Preview Windows: Video previews allow interactive browser based monitoring and switching of sources, making Central 2.0 an ideal option for pre-switching sources on large events and live shows;

Powerful, Light Media player: The built-in media player uses a measurably low amount of CPU power, regardless if playing a file back once or looping 24/7. The Media Player feature achieves this by pre-rendering sources to NDI so when they are played back they are already natively NDI;

NDI Audio Re-Insertion: Select any NDI video source and join it with a separate audio source to create a new mix. The feature is ideal for creating sub mixes for distribution in venue or remotely via BirdDog Cloud and works seamlessly with BirdDog Dante NDI Bridge software;

Pricing and Availability

BirdDog Central 2.0 is available in three versions, and are priced as follows:

Central Lite: Free Download (Available Q4)

Central Pro: $299.00 USD (Available immediately)

Central Enterprise: $1,995.00 USD
