BirdDog BD-BDPOD video signal converter

BirdDog Pod NDI to USB Webcam BDPOD

BirdDog Pod bridges NDI and USB-C, making professional video sources available in Teams, Zoom, Meet and any conferencing or software application that supports a USB webcam input. It supports Full NDI and NDI HX and appears to the computer as a standard UVC webcam with UAC audio, so no extra software is needed. Four soft-touch buttons numbered 1 to 4 switch between sources, Pod automatically scans the network for NDI sources and supports API commands for meeting-room automation. It is powered from a PoE switch, and a non-slip rubberised grip ring keeps it in place.
