BirdDog XL Ultra (White) KBD Bundle
BirdDog XL Ultra (White) KBD Bundle includes 3 x BirdDog XL Ultra (White) and a BirdDog KBD PTZ Keyboard Controller
BirdDog XL Ultra
BirdDog XL Ultra redefines PTZ with a cinematic 4/3″ CMOS sensor, 20× optical zoom, and dual 4K60 outputs. Featuring advanced AI tracking, whisper-quiet movement, and unmatched connectivity, XL Ultra delivers cinema-quality imagery with PTZ control — built for broadcast, XR stages, studios, and premium live production.
A Colossal Sensor. Cinema Starts Here.
XL features a massive 4/3″ CMOS sensor—the kind found in professional digital cameras. Combined with a 20x optical zoom lens (40x in HD*), it delivers stunning depth of field, sharp clarity, and incredible low-light performance. It’s not just for capturing footage—it’s for crafting images.
*40x mode available in TELE mode.
Two Cameras. Twice the Power.
Why settle for one view? XL includes a second built-in 100° panoramic camera powered by a 1/1.8″ sensor—larger than what many PTZs use as their main sensor. Both cameras shoot in 4K60, are independently controllable, and can output at the same time. Use NDI for both, or separate SRT, RTSP, RTMP, HDMI, or 3G-SDI for the wide shot. Maximum flexibility. Full control.
Studio Ready. XR Certified.
From LED walls to XR stages, XL is designed for high-end production environments where precision is everything. Built for Unreal Engine. Trusted in broadcast. Ready for any stage.
AI that Understands the Moment.
Moves Smooth. Thinks Smart. XL’s next-gen AI tracking engine delivers natural, human-like camera motion. You control the speed, style, and sensitivity—whether tracking a speaker, performer, or panel. It’s like having a top-tier camera operator… built into the camera.
