The New Benchmark for Cinematic PTZ Production

The BirdDog XL Ultra is a monumental leap in PTZ technology, bridging the gap between automated cameras and cinema-grade imaging. By utilizing a large 4/3" sensor, the XL Ultra delivers the "bokeh" and dynamic range typically reserved for high-end digital cinema cameras. This makes it the ultimate choice for virtual productions, high-end houses of worship, and premium live events where image texture and quality are paramount.

Independent Dual-Stream Workflow

Innovation is at the heart of the XL Ultra's dual-lens design. You can stream Full NDI for the PTZ close-up while simultaneously sending an SRT or HDMI feed of the 100° panoramic wide shot. This allows a single camera unit to act as two separate sources in your switcher, providing a fail-safe wide-angle reference while the AI tracking engine follows the talent—effectively doubling your production value from a single mount point.

Broadcast-Ready Versatility

Built for the most demanding technical environments, the XL Ultra offers a range of color profiles tuned to match industry-standard production cameras. Whether you are integrating it into a multi-camera 12G-SDI infrastructure or a cutting-edge NDI IP workflow, the XL Ultra sits naturally alongside established broadcast brands. With PoE++ support and SFP+ fiber connectivity, it is as easy to install as it is powerful to operate.
