Scaling Church Livestream Production with BirdDog X4E and MAKI Ultra Cameras

North Boulevard Church of Christ has redefined how modern worship services are produced and shared by building a scalable video workflow powered by BirdDog cameras and NDI technology. As their audience expanded globally, the need for a flexible, cost-effective production system became clear. By deploying BirdDog PTZ cameras across multiple campuses and upgrading to X4E and MAKI Ultra models in a dedicated studio, the team created a professional multi-camera environment that supports both live services and ongoing content creation.

The transition to an NDI-based infrastructure allowed the church to simplify its setup while increasing production capabilities. With video, control, and power all running over standard network connections, the team can easily reposition cameras, integrate new sources, and bring live footage from different areas of the campus into a single broadcast. This flexibility has been especially valuable for large events, where real-time coverage from multiple locations enhances the viewing experience for online audiences.

By combining BirdDog’s camera technology with a network-driven workflow, North Boulevard has built a future-ready production system that grows alongside its needs. The result is a more engaging, connected experience for viewers, proving that modern AV solutions can help organizations extend their reach far beyond physical walls.
