Q: 1. Is this NDI only? Does it support RTMP, SRT, or RTSP protocol?

A: Correct, the BirdDog Mini HDMI to NDI Encoder/Decoder will only encoded/decode NDI onto a video source, it will not generate RTMP, SRT, or RTSP.

Q: 2. Does an NDI source have to be selected at startup or can it autoplay the previously selected source?

Q: 9. does this support 1920x1200?

A: The BirdDog Mini HDMI to NDI Encoder/Decoder (B&H# BIBDMINIHDMI) supports up to 1080p 59.94fps, which sometimes is called 1080/60p. That's 1920 x 1080. It will not support 1920 x 1200 and does not feature a scaler to downres to that resolution. But you could add a device to change the resolution (or perhaps just use a lower resolution output from your video source) and still use it.
