BirdDog Dante NDI Bridge

The BirdDog Dante NDI Bridge is BirdDog's way of getting Dante audio into (and out of) NDI workflows without turning your system into a science project. If your video is already living on the network, this is the missing piece that lets your audio follow it cleanly.

The basic idea is simple: If a BirdDog device has an audio input, you can feed it Dante audio and send that out with your NDI stream. If it has an audio output, you can take the audio tracks from an NDI stream and convert them to Dante audio. BirdDog positions this as broad support across their hardware lineup (where audio I/O exists).

Highlights

• Dante audio support: across BirdDog hardware where audio I/O exists
• NDI and Dante bridging: keeps routing network-native
• Cleaner installs: fewer analog runs and fewer last-minute patches
• Scales better: more predictable than point-to-point audio
• Built for real production: repeatability over flashy features

Quick Specs & Practical Uses

• Primary job: translate Dante audio to/from NDI audio tracks (workflow dependent)
• Best for: studios, control rooms, campuses, worship, corporate AV, multi-room production
• Why you care: consistent routing when you are moving fast
• Operational win: fewer conversion points and fewer "where did the audio go?" moments

Audio & Sync Notes

Dante is used in environments where timing matters. The goal is to keep audio locked to the network clocking discipline you already trust for installed audio, while still letting video teams live in NDI land. If you have ever chased lip sync after a last-minute workaround, you already know why this matters.

Software Option: Dante NDI Bridge

BirdDog also offers Dante NDI Bridge, a Windows 10 application for flipping audio tracks between NDI and Dante, supporting up to 4 stereo pairs and operating with sub-frame latency (per BirdDog's description).

Why It Helps

Audio is usually what breaks first in real deployments. Video gets all the attention, then somebody asks, "Where's the program audio?" Dante-to-NDI integration is about reducing the number of places audio can disappear, get misrouted, or get "temporarily fixed" into a permanent mess.
