Posted in: Product News

The camera that changed the game simply got better.

Building upon the NDI® PTZ category defining P200, the all-new P240 introduces an updated Sony Exmor R broadcast sensor to deliver increased light sensitivity, and best-in-class image quality and performance.

P240 offers three output options including NDI®, SDI, and HDMI for ultimate video flexibility while Balanced XLR audio adds professional audio connections.

IP output options include multiple flavors of NDI® including Full NDI®, NDI®|HX2, and HX3, SRT, and h.264, whilst BirdDog Cloud 3.0 integration unlocks globally connected remote productions.
Free Auto-Tracking, FreeD output for AR/VR workflows, and additional features comprising an OLED display to show the IP address, 360° mohawk tally, filter thread, safety anchor point, and carry handle make P240 the best choice for live productions.
And yes, the cameras support NDI® 5.5 natively.

NDI®|HX2, NDI®|HX3, h.264, SRT, RTMP, RTSP, and Cloud Connect coming soon with a free firmware update.

NDI® 5.5. Welcome to the party pal.

Full NDI 5.5 support is built right into P240 for maximum compatibility across all NDI® ecosystems.

BirdUI. With heads up display.

P240 features the world’s most comprehensive interface for PTZ cameras. System statistics including the number of active connections, current bandwidth usage, and network traffic are presented in an intuitive way to give you the information you need at a quick glance.

NDI® Video Scopes.

P240 can generate scopes in camera to send out as NDI, NDI Proxy, or both. This allows for monitoring scopes on the NDI Proxy while sending a clean main NDI feed simultaneously. Choose from Histogram, Waveform, Vectorscope, or RGB Parade and the position on the NDI stream.

360° Mohawk Tally.

The innovative and totally punk mohawk tally gives a full 360º view so you’ll never be caught out wondering which camera you need to be talking to. If you gonna wear the mohawk, you stick with it. You don’t just be dibby-dabbing. You make up your mind.

Unique Numbering System.

Removable silicon numbers at the back of the P240 give additional Tally vision and allow switcher operators to easily identify cameras.

OLED Display.

The super handy OLED allows for information such as IP Address, Device Name, Stream Name, Resolution, and Frame Rate. Thanks to Jason it can also be turned off in the BirdUI.
