BirdDog 3x BDXLUW + 1x BDKBD Combo BDXLUCOMBO-W

BirdDog XL Ultra Combo 3x XL Ultra White + KBD BDXLUCOMBO-W

The BirdDog XL Ultra Combo includes three XL Ultra PTZ cameras in white (BDXLUW) and one BirdDog KBD PTZ controller (BDKBD). The BirdDog KBD controller has a 5" multiview display with up to four NDI HX or RTSP previews and tally borders, a 4D joystick with super-fine mode, Camera Setting Sync and control via NDI, VISCA-IP, ONVIF, RS-232 and RS-422.

BirdDog XL Ultra is a cinematic PTZ camera for broadcast, virtual production and premium AV. Its 4/3" Sony CMOS sensor with a 20x optical zoom (40x in HD, TELE mode) records 4K60 with shallow depth of field and strong low-light performance. A second built-in 100° panoramic camera with a 1/1.8" sensor also shoots 4K60: the two cameras are independently controllable and can output at the same time, over NDI or separately via SRT, RTSP, RTMP, HDMI or 3G-SDI for the wide shot.

Designed for LED walls and XR stages, it has an optical low-pass filter against moiré, genlock and timecode, FreeD for AR/XR workflows, built-in ND filters and a full colour matrix. It streams High Bandwidth NDI and NDI HX simultaneously and provides 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, two balanced XLR inputs with phantom power, RS-232/422 control, PoE++ and SFP for fibre or optical 12G-SDI. AI tracking with adjustable speed, style and sensitivity, RGB Halo tally, rear number tally and side-mounted E-Ink displays complete the package.
