BirdDog XL Ultra PTZ Camera
The XL Ultra is a cinematic PTZ camera built to excel in broadcast, virtual production, and premium AV, delivering uncompromising performance with a massive 4/3″ CMOS sensor, 4K60 capture, and dual-camera design. Its 20x optical zoom (40x in HD*) produces stunning depth of field, exceptional clarity, and outstanding low-light performance, while a second built-in 100° panoramic camera with a large 1/1.8″ sensor provides a simultaneous wide shot—both cameras independently controllable and outputting 4K60 at the same time. Powered by next-generation AI tracking for smooth, human-like motion, XL Ultra gives you full control over speed, style, and sensitivity. With support for NDI® High Bandwidth and NDI® HX3 simultaneously, plus 12G-SDI, HDMI, SFP+ fiber, PoE++, balanced XLR audio, and dual streaming via NDI, SRT, RTMP, or RTSP, XL Ultra is ready for any broadcast, AV, XR, or virtual production workflow—no compromises required.

BirdDog KBD Controller
BirdDog KBD Controller is the ideal tool for PTZ camera operators, designed with a rugged, ergonomic build and a large screen displaying up to four cameras at once. The streamlined menu provides direct access to essentials like camera pairing, while its built-in tally display integrates with mixers like TriCaster or vMix, showing the live camera right on the keyboard. With tactile feedback for camera switching, it’s intuitive and comfortable for extended use. The BirdDog KBD adapts to any setup with NDI, VISCA, ONVIF, RS-232, and RS-422 connectivity, and reflects BirdDog’s commitment to sustainability with its ocean-bound plastic construction. Packed with enhanced features, including improved access, configuration, and joystick calibration, it’s a powerful, affordable solution shaped by user feedback for greater control, comfort, and reliability.
