BirdDog 3x X4 Ultra PTZ Cameras and KBD Keyboard Combo (Black)

The BirdDog 3x X4 Ultra PTZ Cameras and KBD Keyboard Combo (Black) is a 4K PTZ camera built for production environments where accuracy, zoom reach, and control reliability matter more than convenience features. This is a camera designed to behave like a camera. Presets need to land where expected, motion needs to stay smooth, and image quality needs to hold up when shots are pushed.

In real workflows, the X4 Ultra is often used to replace or supplement a manned camera. Auditoriums, houses of worship, broadcast studios, and large meeting spaces benefit from a PTZ that can cover wide shots and still pull in tight frames without the image falling apart.

This combo package includes control hardware, which means the system is usable from day one with no gaps between installation and operation.

Highlights

• UHD 4K capture: broadcast-grade PTZ mechanics
• Long-range optical zoom: designed for large rooms and stages
• NDI High Bandwidth and NDI|HX: flexible IP video workflows
• 12G-SDI and HDMI outputs: traditional broadcast integration
• Built for live production: permanent install environments

Quick Specs & Practical Uses

• Resolution: up to 4K UHD
• Zoom: high-power optical zoom for long-throw framing
• Video outputs: 12G-SDI, HDMI, and network video
• Network: Ethernet with PoE++ support
• Protocols: NDI High Bandwidth, NDI|HX, standard IP formats
• Use cases: worship venues, studios, auditoriums, event spaces, broadcast rooms

Image Quality Notes

The 4K sensor gives the camera flexibility, particularly in larger spaces. Even when the final output is 1080p, the extra resolution allows tighter framing without softening the image.

Color and detail hold together under stage lighting and mixed environments. Lighting still matters, but the X4 Ultra remains usable across a wide range of real-world conditions.

The optical zoom is a major advantage. This is true optical reach, not digital cropping. You can place the camera where it belongs and still capture usable close-ups.

Connectivity & Workflow

The X4 Ultra is designed to live comfortably in hybrid systems.

• SDI: broadcast switchers and long cable runs
• HDMI: local monitoring and smaller production setups
• NDI High Bandwidth: full-quality IP video with low latency
• NDI|HX: reduced bandwidth network environments

PoE++ helps simplify installations by reducing power cabling, though proper power planning is still recommended for cameras in this class.

Control Notes

This camera expects intentional control planning. Whether using a hardware PTZ controller, software control, or an integrated control system, the X4 Ultra performs best when control paths are defined early.

Preset discipline matters. Name presets clearly, build them carefully, and test them under real show conditions.

Why It Helps

The X4 Ultra is built for environments where smaller PTZ cameras start to show their limits. When zoom range, image integrity, and preset accuracy matter, stepping up to a broadcast-focused camera removes compromise.

For productions that need consistent results and professional control behavior, this camera fits naturally.
