NDI to USB for Video Conferencing

Pod bridges the gap between NDI and USB, so professional network video can be used just like a standard webcam. As a result, you can bring cameras and other NDI sources into popular conferencing applications without adding complicated software or extra hardware.

Simply connect Pod to your network and computer. Then, select your desired NDI source and start using it with your conferencing or production application.

Switch Between 4 NDI Sources

Pod features four soft-touch buttons, numbered 1 through 4. Therefore, you can quickly switch between up to four available NDI sources without navigating through software menus.

This makes Pod especially useful for multi-camera meetings, presentations, classrooms, corporate video, live events, and hybrid production workflows.

Automatic NDI Source Detection

Getting started is easy. Pod automatically scans your network and detects available NDI video sources. As a result, you can quickly find cameras and other compatible NDI devices without manually entering source information.

PoE for Clean Installations

Pod supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which makes installation even simpler. When connected to a compatible PoE network switch, Pod can receive power through the network connection. This eliminates the need for a separate wall plug and helps create a cleaner, more professional installation.

API Control for Custom Workflows

For advanced installations, Pod also supports API commands. This allows system integrators and AV professionals to add Pod to custom control systems, including Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams Rooms.

As a result, Pod can fit into everything from simple conference rooms to more advanced multi-source video environments.

Compact, Stable Design

Pod is designed to stay where you put it. A non-slip rubber grip ring helps prevent movement during use. Plus, its compact design makes it easy to place on a desk, conference table, production surface, or other workspace.

Whether you need a simple NDI webcam solution or a flexible way to connect multiple NDI sources to a computer, BirdDog Pod provides a straightforward bridge between professional IP video and USB.
