BirdDog Cloud 3.0, the next generation of BirdDog’s globally connected advanced media platform, is the fastest and easiest way to expand outside your local network to distribute your content to anywhere in the world. At its core Cloud 3.0 harnesses BirdDog’s specialised transport engine, a highly reliable and scalable media pipeline, delivering all the benefits and security of SRT, augmented with deep control layers for PTZ and metadata, and multi camera synchronisation support.
BirdDog Cloud 3.0 sets new standards for performance, security and convenience without compromising the quality or integrity of remote broadcasts. With these standards in mind, the BirdDog development team has delivered an unprecedented number of key features and workflows to optimize any remote broadcast powered by BirdDog. Select features include:
- New, More Intuitive User Interface: A ground up rebuild of the interface creates a more elegant, intuitive experience for setting up connections.
- High Security, Low Latency: BirdDog Cloud 3.0 uses SRT, with 128/256 bit AES encryption throughout the entire pipeline to ensure extremely high security while distributing content over the public internet. SRT video transport protocol also ensures reliable streams even over lossy networks and with extremely low latency.
- Introducing BirdDog Transport: Built in conjunction with Google, transport is a globally connected, secure delivery network designed for easy operation with BirdDog Cloud. Have your own network infrastructure? No worries we can accommodate.
- Powerful Suite of Workflow Apps for Remote Delivery and Management: BirdDog Cloud 3.0 also delivers a powerful new suite of globally scalable, interconnected video workflow apps for Apple TV, Android TV, Apple iOS, Android, Samsung Tizen, Windows, MacOS, and the all-new BirdDog PLAY.

- More GPU support, Including M1: Cloud 3.0 ushers in new GPU accelerated codec support including Apple Video ToolBox for MacOS to take full advantage of the powerful Apple M1 chips. Support for iOS and tvOS (h.264 and HEVC), nVidia NVENC (h.264 and HEVC), and Intel Quicksync (h.264, HEVC and VP9) all ensure the fastest and most flexible remote production workflows.
