BirdDog BDA200 Weatherproof PTZ Camera

BDA200 PTZ camera utilises BirdDog's custom NDI silicon chip and leverages an impressive Sony CMOS backlit sensor and full Sony Image Module.

Designed for serious production the image quality of A200 is best in class. Built on a true Sony Image module with Sony CMOS backlit sensor, P200 has super fast focus, incredibly sharp images, and amazingly fast zoom. A200 has frame rates up to 1080p60, 30x optical zoom, and outputs SDI and NDI simultaneously.

A200 is IP67 rating for outdoor and indoor use. Corrosion Resistant treated housing for salt spray environment. -40 Degree C to +60 Degree C operating temperature. It even has a rain wiper to keep water off the lens. 3.5mm audio connectors allow P100 to work with BirdDog Comms, the world's first NDI audio intercom platform. Comms is a Windows 10 application that can run on any Windows 10 compatible computer, laptop, or surface for a touch screen experience.

A200 has been designed for the most demanding on image quality. The superior optics make P200 perfect for Sports, Broadcast, Live Event Production, IMAG, Education, and any other application where quality matters. A200 is also compatible with BirdDog PTZ Keyboard for ultimate control.

New GEN 2 Version Features:
The A200 now has the same color tools as the BirdDog P200 models:

Full Colour Matrix - 64 positions of Hue (colour) and Saturation (brightness) for Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow.

72 additional Gamma Positions

The A200 now supports Cam Control for Remote Shading which allows a full one cable solution for Video, PTZ Control, Power (using PoE injector), and Remote Shading.

Design tweaks not only look great but serve a purpose to assist in protection against the elements such as extruded lips around the lens. There is also an improved IR blaster design to allow more light to be sent from the camera when using it in low-light situations.
