]]> First Look: BirdDog Flex NDI Converters https://news.broadfield.com/first-look-birddog-flex-ndi-converters/ Thu, 30 Jul 2020 15:35:06 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=16039 BirdDog has just announced their brand new family of products, the BirdDog Flex NDI Converters. The Flex family of products is 4K NDI in an incredibly small package. It delivers tally, audio, video, PTZ control, audio intercom, and power via a single Ethernet cable. The Flex comes in 3 models to choose from. The Flex 4K BACKPACK, the Flex 4K OUT, and the Flex 4K IN. Check out Anthony Burokas from Streaming Media Producer’s review on the new Flex family of products.

The lines on top of the unit are not really heat fins or a heat sink because this is a plastic enclosure. BirdDog emphasizes that they really managed the thermals on this. I have had one running for three days and it’s barely lukewarm. There are a couple of small fans on one side and an air vent on the other side to keep it nice and cool.

 I’m an independent reviewer, and I’m not working for BirdDog, but I love these little devices. They’re fantastically small. They’re well-priced. It’s nice to be able to mount the Backpack on the back of the monitor. But if I’m going with a simpler setup, and I’m using a smaller camcorder, and I’m using just the little viewfinder, I would love to be able to mount the Flex right on the back of the camera.
