It’s the perfect choice for studios, venues, houses of worship, and large-scale installations where rock-solid reliability and value matter most.

Built on the X4 Legacy.
X4E shares the same high-performance DNA as X4 Ultra. The same Sony sensor. The same image pipeline. The same BirdDog precision engineering. Everything that made X4 Ultra our best-selling camera – just refined for wired workflows. X4E is designed for fixed installs and controlled network environments where consistency is key.
