NDI® Wallplates for Building the Ultimate AV Experience.

NDI Wallplates are the answer to elegant and permanent NDI installations. With two models to choose from, Dual Input or Dual Output, they have been designed to make boardroom setups a breeze. Install the Dual Output in the wall to drive content to the TV screens and install the Dual Input into the meeting table to take inputs from laptops and other devices using EDID.

Wallplate Input.

Wallplate Input features two independent inputs, each with EDID, and is designed for connecting cameras, laptops, and other devices to convert them into the world of NDI®. Perfect for installation into boardroom tables, meeting spaces, lecterns, stages, and anywhere you have sources that need to convert to NDI®. There is also a mic input.

RESTful API.

BirdDog Wallplates are programmable via the free RESTful API. It’s never been easier to integrate NDI® into automated and integrated AV solution no matter what the overarching system is.

HDMI Auto Detection with EDID.

Wallplate Input has complete EDID to automatically convert your laptop’s HDMI input into a supported resolution to send to Wallplate Output. This makes for a seamless user experience in boardrooms and anywhere you need to get your PC onto a TV.

One Cable for PoE, Video, Audio.

NDI Wallplates are powered by PoE, so you only need to run a single Ethernet cable to power the units, along with carrying video and audio. One cable to rule them all.

Extreme Speed.

It’s all about the silicon. BirdDog’s revolutionary custom silicon chip is what drives the best NDI® products on the planet. Only BirdDog’s hardware can do line-based processing to give the fastest NDI® possible.

Wallplates are all built upon BirdDog’s custom NDI chip and can be completely automated via the programmable RESTful API, and also feature PoE for single Ethernet cable functionality, Mic Input, Speaker output, interchangeable faceplates, soft glow status indicators, and a easy to use web management console to change settings.
