BirdDog BDX1 30W

The BirdDog X1 30x is the long-reach member of the X1 line, an NDI|HX3 PTZ camera that trades a wider view for a 30x optical zoom (5.2 to 148.4mm) so it can hold a tight shot from the back of a sanctuary or auditorium. A Sony 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor delivers 1080p at up to 60fps, and it adds a native 608x1080p 9:16 mode for vertical social streams. AI auto-framing tracks a presenter on its own, and a daylight-visible halo tally ring shows when the camera is live.

The output set matches the rest of the family: HDMI, a USB/UVC feed with independent resolution for Zoom and Teams, and a 100M Ethernet port with PoE (802.3af) carrying NDI|HX2/HX3, SRT, RTSP, and RTMP. Wi-Fi 5 provides a wireless option, an E-Ink display labels the unit, and the head pans 175 degrees each way and tilts -90 to +90 degrees. This white version suits bright sets and light rooms, runs on PoE or 12V DC, and ships with an IR remote.
