BirdDog X4 Ultra PTZ 4K Camera

The BirdDog X4 Ultra is a 4K60 pan-tilt-zoom camera built around a 1/1.8-inch Sony CMOS sensor and a 20x optical lens that travels from a 6.25mm wide shot to 125mm telephoto. It puts a full-bandwidth NDI|HX3 feed on the network over a single cable, so a control room can pull a clean UHD image from anywhere on the IP fabric while the camera pans and tilts under remote command. Neural-processing AI auto-tracking keeps a presenter framed without an operator riding the joystick.

Every output you would want is on the back panel: SDI, HDMI 2.0, USB-C UVC for direct Zoom and Teams use, and the 1-gigabit network port that carries NDI. It encodes in H.264 or H.265 and speaks NDI|HX2, NDI|HX3, SRT, RTSP and RTMP, so it drops into whatever switcher or CDN you run. Power arrives by the included DC supply, PoE+ over the same Ethernet run, or USB-C, and an internal battery keeps it live for up to four hours. This is the black BDX4UB.
