Camera video robotica PTZ BirdDog X5 Ultra

Tally Light. A Higher Order of Visual Queue.

Professional results need professional tools. The X5 Ultra sports the most visible and effective Tally system available. Up front, with a large, daylight-visible border keeping talent looking directly at the camera. Your cast and crew will always know where to look, keeping your audience engaged.

AI Tracking. Built for now and the future.

We aren’t playing catch-phrase bingo here. X5 Ultra takes AI auto-tracking and framing to the next level. Featuring an order of magnitude more neural processing capabilities, the out-of-the-box X5 Ultra has incredible AI powers but also the headroom to grow as AI progresses.

Magic.

NDI® | HX3. In 4K60.
Performance meets convenience.

The X5 Ultra delivers superior network performance via our implementation of NDI® | HX3. Significantly reducing network impact while maintaining excellent image quality, meaning it is more friendly in more network environments.

BirdDog’s NDI® | HX3 surpasses certification parameters, delivering quality and performance you can count on across ALL video resolutions.

X5 Ultra blows all other cameras out of the game with NDI® | HX3 performance in 4K60 – sometimes the fine print is important.

Integrated NDI® | HX Decoder.
It can’t get much more convenient!

The X5 Ultra is part of the family of PTZ cameras featuring the first simultaneous NDI® | HX* Decoder designed specifically for confidence monitoring, return feeds, or teleprompter usage. We’ve pulled all this connectivity into a single cable, radically simplifying how you interface with your equipment.

Less gear. Less hassle. Less complexity.

Whether you’re broadcasting live or delivering a CEO address, the integrated NDI® | HX decoder enables more engagement with less setup.

*NDI | HX2 and NDI | HX3 supported in specific resolutions – see tech specs.

One Ring. To Filter them all.

Adding an ND Filter or Polariser to X5 is a cinch with its 49mm filter ring. Get rid of pesky reflections, dial in your highlights and make your next production feel more ‘Hollywood’.

Hobbit TikTok filter not supported. Sorry.

Connectivity for days.

Video productions all look different. We love NDI® because it allows a single network cable to operate everything, but sometimes it makes sense to take a different path. X5 Ultra makes this a snap. In a world of compromise, the X5 Ultra stands proud.

With 12G-SDI output, dual HDMI outputs, multiple network formats, including NDI® | HX3, SRT, RTMP and RTSP, Webcam connectivity over USB, however you work and whatever demand in quality you’ve got it at your fingertips.

X5 Ultra has got your back for today’s production… and tomorrow’s!

E-ink Label. Get Inked.

The dual, always-on e-ink labels on the X5 Ultra are a game-changer. From network addresses for easy access to controls to customisable logos* to complement your brand image, this cool feature ensures that your set-up is clear and each camera is easily identifiable even when the power is off.
