Review on BirdDog Studio SDI HDMI Interface by Dipp Samrock

Such a promising device but like most manufacturers in this space they have failed to materialize themselves. First the pros. It's POE, it has SDI and HDMI inputs and outputs, it has a large dot matrix display that shows both basic information and counts, and the user interface is neat and clean. Cons No WiFi, not compatible with all NDI broadcast software (obviously due to the lack of HX codec), dot matrix display is only indicative although the manufacturer claims the opposite, it doesn't work well with the NewTek NDI app ( recommended exit monitoring app) and last but not least ZEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOO manufacturer support.
