The BirdDog X5 Ultra is a professional PTZ camera designed for live production, corporate video, broadcast, and event coverage. It features a Sony 4K60 image sensor for high-resolution video and supports NDI| HX3 for efficient IP video transmission with low network impact.
Equipped with a precision motor drive, the X5 Ultra enables smooth and accurate pan, tilt, and zoom movements. AI auto-tracking and framing help follow subjects automatically, reducing the need for manual control. The camera’s advanced processing allows for updates and improvements as AI technology develops.
Connectivity includes 12G-SDI, dual HDMI outputs, USB for webcam use, and support for multiple streaming protocols, including NDI, SRT, RTMP, and RTSP. An integrated NDI| HX decoder allows for return video feeds or teleprompter output over a single cable.
The camera includes dual e-ink displays for labeling and quick access to network information. A 49mm filter ring allows the use of ND or polarizer filters. BirdDog’s Halo Tally light system improves visibility for on-camera talent.
