Add a convenient and compact video player to your NDI network with this PLAY 4K NDI Player from BirdDog. The PLAY is designed to automatically detect all the NDI video streams on your NDI network and display them in a standard set-top box thumbnail view, which allows you to then select and play any video on your NDI network with up to UHD 4K60 resolution on an HDMI display.

The PLAY features an easy, intuitive interface that resembles most popular media players. It is compatible with NDI 5 functionality and supports all the features of NDI, NDI|HX2, NDI Remote, and NDI Bridge to seamlessly detect all the NDI video streams on your network. Built-in CEC support allows you to use a variety of CEC remote controllers you may already have to control the video player features of the box. You can also utilize an API for custom programming with numerous APIs such as RESTful API, Crestron control module, Zoom API, Q-SYS API, among others.

The PLAY has a compact footprint that measures only 3.3" square and can sit anywhere in your environment by mounting it on your desktop with its rubberized base ring or by using its magnetic base. It is powered via the USB Type-C input that can accommodate a separately available 5V power source or adapter.
