BirdDog OG4 openGear 4-Channel NDI Encode/Decode Card A 12G-SDI card for a 4th-gen openGear frame

The OG4 is a 12G-SDI encode/decode card built for BirdDog's openGear ecosystem, putting up to four channels of full-bandwidth NDI on a single card slot in a 4th-generation openGear frame. Each of the four SDI connectors is independently selectable as an input or an output, so one card can run all four channels as encoders, all four as decoders, or split the mix as a room's needs change without swapping hardware.

Video runs up to UHD 2160p or HD 1080p from 23.98 to 60fps, with interlaced HD options for legacy sources, and every SDI connector carries two embedded audio channels in each direction. Networking is a built-in 1Gbps port with an optional 10Gbps SFP+ module for heavier NDI loads, and control runs through an on-device WebUI, a published REST API, or third-party integration with Q-Sys, Crestron, Zoom Rooms and the openGear Dashboard.
