DIMENSIONS

INSTALLATION

PRODUCT CONNECTIONS

WEB CONFIGURATION PANEL

BirdDog cameras have a web interface (also known as BirdUI) that is displayed by your computer browser and can be used to configure your camera remotely.

In order to access to the dedicated panel, you will need to login via web browser by inserting the correct address IP as a web link.

An alternative way is through NDI® Studio Monitor application:

Click on the gear icon on the bottom right of the Studio Monitor window.
In the displayed window, type the default password ‘birddog’ (all lower case) and click the OK button. The dashboard window is displayed.

The dashboard shows important basic camera settings. For now, check that the displayed Status is Active and take note of the frame rate that is currently output from the camera (displayed under NDI® connection info). This frame rate should be set identically for all cameras according to the requirements of your production.

Defaut camera IP: 192.168.100.100
Default password: birddog

Note:

For more information about the BirdUI, please visit BirdDog.tv/downloads , or, BirdDog.tv/birdui-overview

NETWORK SETUP **

**

Ethernet Network Configuration

Most computer networks provide for both automatic and manual configuration of network devices and MAKI Ultra can accomodate both.

Static or DHCP

Here you can set the network configuration to either DHCP (default) or Static. DHCP simplifies the management of IP addresses on networks. No two hosts can have the same IP address, so assigning them manually can potentially lead to errors. If your network is set up for DHCP, this is generally the best configuration to choose.

If you do choose to go with a Static IP address, you’ll need to add the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address information according to the requirements of your network.

DHCP Timeout, Fallback IP address, Fallback Subnet Mask

You can set the timeout period during which the camera will look for a DHCP IP address. After this period, the camera will default to the designated fallback IP address.

This can be useful if you use your camera in other network environments. For example, if a DHCP server is available in your normal office or studio application, the camera will use the DHCP supplied IP address. If you then use the camera in another application without a DHCP server, your camera will always default to the known fallover IP address.

BirdDog Name

You can give your camera a meaningful name to make identification easier when viewing NDI® sources on a receiver such as a TriCaster, vMix or Studio Monitor. Be sure to make the name unique, as no two devices on the network should have the same name. The name can be any combination of ‘a-z, 0-9, and –‘.

After renaming your camera, navigate back to the Dashboard and click REBOOT DEVICE. The camera will re- initialize and you’ll be good to go.

Note:

Your computer will need to have ‘Bonjour’ services loaded in order to access the unit via it’s user defined name. Apple devices come pre-installed with Bonjour, while Windows devices need a plugin.
