Introducing the BirdDog SDM Family
BirdDog recently announced the new SDM family, powered by BirdDog OS. Let's take a look at BirdDog's article covering the announcement, and break down some of the finer points.
SDM Family
The SDM family is built on an Intel platform, and is set to revolutionize the way content is distributed. These devices are controlled via BirdDog OS with two BirdDog SDM modules, allowing for a different solution for every project.
Controlled by the all in one BirdDog OS and with two BirdDog SDM modules to choose from, M1 an M2, there is a solution for every project. M1 is a full NDI Sender and Receiver based on the Intel SDM-L form factor and M2 is an NDI Receiver built on the Intel® SDM-S module. With support for resolutions all the way up to 4Kp60, there is also a RESTful API for programming completely automated spaces.
