BirdDog Connect keeps evolving, and this month’s updates are all about giving you more visibility, flexibility, and control—whether you’re managing one room or one hundred, across the building or across the globe.
We’re proud to introduce two powerful new modules that bring major upgrades to your workflow: Multiview Enterprise and the all-new Connect Router.
Multiview Enterprise: See Everything. From Anywhere.
Multiviews have always been essential—but now they’re enterprise-grade. Multiview Enterprise is a brand new Windows and Linux-based service module designed to scale across your entire organisation. Think of it as your global multiview command centre. Whether you’re building confidence monitors in the control room or broadcasting 4K multiviews to remote operations teams, you’re covered.
- Choose from multiple layout presets
- Configure custom resolutions—from low-bitrate overlays to full 4K/60fps displays
- Add overlays like tally borders, UMD source names, audio VU meters, and more
- Deploy from a single site or across global infrastructure
The setup is simple, the power is immense—and now anyone in your team can create, manage, and monitor with just a few clicks.
Connect Router: Instant Routing. Infinite Possibilities.
We’ve taken video routing to a whole new level.
The new Connect Router gives you total control over what content shows up on any screen—anywhere. From a sleek thumbnail view to a full matrix crosspoint patcher, switching sources is now as easy as point, click, route.
But that’s just the beginning.
- Any destination: BirdDog decoders (including cameras with decode), or NDI Router Outputs receivable by any NDI-enabled device
- Split audio & video: Route video from one source, audio from another—perfect for multi-language streams or mix-minus outputs
- Save routes as QR codes: Yes, really. Snap a QR and —your screen updates instantly. No logins, no instructions, just magic.
It’s simple for non-technical users, powerful for technical ones, and built for the real-time world we work in today.
What’s Next?
Next month we’ll dive deep into post-production workflows—including how Connect is transforming remote editing, review, and approval. We’ll also be introducing some major usability upgrades that’ll make Connect even more intuitive and lightning-fast.
Until then, explore the new features, try out some QR-based routing magic, and let us know what you think. We’re building Connect with you—and for you.
