BirdDog 3x BDXLUB + 1x BDKBD Combo

BirdDog XL Ultra PTZ Bundle

Introducing the BirdDog XL Ultra, a revolutionary PTZ camera that combines the power of cinema with the versatility of PTZ technology. This innovative camera is designed to elevate live productions, offering an unparalleled visual experience.

This isn’t just another PTZ. It’s the heavyweight champ, built around a colossal 4/3" CMOS sensor — the kind usually found in pro cinema and DSLR cameras. Paired with a 20× optical zoom (40× in HD), OLPF, and ND filters, XL delivers cinematic depth, incredible low-light performance, and clarity that makes other PTZs look small.

But the BirdDog XL Ultra is more than just a big sensor. Its dual-camera design gives you both a main PTZ and a 100° panoramic camera, each shooting in 4K60, each independently adjustable, and each able to output simultaneously. One camera, two perspectives, endless flexibility.

AI tracking is powered by a neural processor that frames subjects naturally, moving with human-like precision. Premium motors and a next-gen thermal system keep motion whisper-smooth and nearly silent, so all the drama stays in front of the camera, not behind it.

Connectivity is uncompromising: 12G-SDI, HDMI, SFP+ fiber, PoE++, and balanced XLR audio, plus simultaneous Full NDI and NDI HX3. Dual streaming lets you send NDI alongside SRT, RTMP, or RTSP, so you’re ready for any workflow — broadcast, AV, XR, or virtual production.

With signature BirdDog touches like Halo Tally with RGB customization, dual side e-ink displays, and a rear numbering tally system, XL Ultra doesn’t just perform like cinema — it looks the part too.
From studios and XR stages to houses of worship and arena productions.

BirdDog XL Ultra PTZ Bundle Features:

• Large-format 4/3" CMOS sensor for cinematic depth of field and outstanding low-light performance.
• 20× optical zoom (40× in HD) with OLPF and ND filters for precision and clarity.
• AI tracking with machine learning, using dual-camera input for natural, human-like framing.
• Ultra-quiet motors and advanced thermal design for distraction-free operation.
• Dual 4K60 outputs via 12G-SDI and HDMI for uncompromising image quality.
• FreeD and Genlock support, making XL ideal for XR stages, AR workflows, and multi-camera sync.
• SFP+ fiber connectivity for large-scale and remote installs.
• Simultaneous Full NDI and NDI HX3 streaming for flexible workflows.
• Dual streaming support — NDI plus SRT, RTMP, or RTSP concurrently.
• Firmware-ready for NDI 6.2, ensuring future-proof performance.
