NDI Decoder recommendations
Just spent 4 hours fighting a BirdDog Play to get it to connect to DHCP, and then it turns out it can't even play back 30fps smoothly...
Is there an NDI decoder that won't make me go insane? Preferably under $1k to avoid making a PO.
At this point I've been tempted to just slap in a raspberry pi to get it over with...

What resolution are you trying to playback?
it's supposed to do full NDI up to 1080p 60fps
and it does compressed NDI up to UHD 60FPS
1080p60, but it only manages around 15-20 😦
(Regular NDI)
And it's not an issue with your LAN?
Have you tried decoding it with any existing PC's?
def not. 10gig, and decodes fine with a TriCaster, NCIO2, vMix, OBS, Studio Monitor, etc.
currently leaning towards this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1517124-REG/magewell_64100_pro_convert_ndi_to.html unless there's something better
ended up getting the magewell
Cool
Kind of wild the bird dog unit didn’t work as advertised
apparently they have a history of overprmising and underdelivering
just got the magewell and it just works 🤯
