The Heart of Your Portable Studio

The BirdDog BDMK-CS is the essential "mission control" for anyone looking to go beyond single-camera streaming. While the MAKI Live cameras are powerful on their own, the BDMK-CS Control Surface unlocks their true potential by providing the tactile feedback that professionals demand. No more fumbling with mouse clicks or laggy software sliders—you can now execute clean cuts, fades, and stinger transitions with the physical precision of a traditional broadcast switcher.

Designed for the Solo Creator

The genius of the MAKI Studio ecosystem lies in its simplicity. By offloading the "brain" of the production to a native iPad app, BirdDog has eliminated the need for bulky laptops and complex cabling. The control surface connects wirelessly via Bluetooth, allowing you to manage up to six NDI sources, add lower-thirds, and trigger graphics while remaining completely mobile. It is the definitive solution for podcasters, houses of worship, and small corporate teams who need a professional "TV-grade" look without a full production crew.

Future-Proof NDI Integration

As part of the BirdDog lineup, the BDMK-CS is built for the modern IP-based workflow. It supports both High-Bandwidth NDI and NDI|HX, ensuring that your production remains fluid even over wireless networks. Whether you are streaming directly to YouTube and Twitch via RTMP or recording high-quality ISOs to your iPad for later editing, the BDMK-CS provides the rock-solid foundation required for professional results.
