IP configuration method
You can configure Mini to operate on the network with a
dynamic (DHCP) IP address or a fixed address.
For smaller networks DHCP networking is generally
suitable, however larger networks with managed opera-
tions will often determine each device needs to have a
dedicated and static IP address.
DHCP IP address
DHCP is set as the network configuration by default for
Mini.
Static IP address
To enable a static IP address, change configuration method
to static and fill in the details required in Address, Mask and
Gateway. Particular attention should be paid to the Address
and Mask fields as incorrect information entered will result
in Mini not being visible on the network and a factory reset
will be required in order to recover the unit.
IP address recovery
In the event that the Mini is not visible on the network, the
network has changed, or the static IP address details have
been lost, reset the BirdDog back to its default settings by
following the factory reset procedure.
BirdDog name
You can name each Mini with a friendly name that makes
sense for each production (Camera 1, Camera 2, etc). This
name will appear on any NDI receiver when it looks for
video coming from Mini over the network. The name must
not include any special characters and can be any combina-
tion of ‘a-z, 1-0, and –‘.
Note: no uppercase characters are valid.
On NDI receiving devices, Mini will present as a source as
follows:
birddog-name [AUTO]
when the unit is set to automatic input.
birddog-name [HDMI]
when set to HDMI in manual mode.

Device naming
When Mini is first powered on it defaults to the naming
convention as described in the web configuration panel
section of this manual.
http://birddog-xxxxx.local/
It is possible to change the name along with the network
settings to better suit your environment.
In the web configuration panel, navigate to the network
section.
