Can this item be controlled with the Birddog Connect Software?
Yes, You will be able to send a BirdDog Cloud Connect video/audio stream to a BirdDog PLAY if the broadcaster/endpoint/company account has a Cloud License and Cloud Connect setup. The end-user with the PLAY scans or types in a code to view their available streams.
Streams on BirdDog Cloud Connect can be organized in groups with specific PIN # access. Cloud Connect Groups have customizable branding options for uploading logos and colors to match agency and client productions.
Beta signups for Cloud Connect are at the bottom of this page: https://birddog.tv/cloudconnect-overview/

What is the difference between the birddog play and the birddog flex decoder?
Also PoE support on the Flex. The Bird dog play is really only designed to be plugged into a TV. And designed cheap means they skipped on ALL non essentials. Even factory reset doesn't exist on the Play. It's a great purpose built device that does 1 thing well. If you need it to do anything else get the Flex.
