BirdDog XL Ultra - Broadcast 4K NDI PTZ Camera - Black

XL Ultra - Broadcast 4K NDI PTZ Camera - Black - (Includes 2 years Protect Plus coverage)

XL Ultra. Built to Excel.

The cinematic PTZ camera built for broadcast, virtual production, and premium AV. 4/3″ sensor. 4K60. Dual cameras. No compromises.

A Colossal Sensor. Cinema Starts Here.

XL features a massive 4/3″ CMOS sensor—the kind found in professional digital cameras. Combined with a 20x optical zoom lens (40x in HD), it delivers stunning depth of field, sharp clarity, and incredible low-light performance. It’s not just for capturing footage—it’s for crafting images.

Two Cameras. Twice the Power.

Why settle for one view? XL includes a second built-in 100° panoramic camera powered by a 1/1.8″ sensor—larger than what many PTZs use as their main sensor. Both cameras shoot in 4K60, are independently controllable, and can output at the same time. Use NDI for both, or separate SRT, RTSP, RTMP, HDMI, or 3G-SDI for the wide shot. Maximum flexibility. Full control.

AI that Understands the Moment.

Moves Smooth. Thinks Smart. XL’s next-gen AI tracking engine delivers natural, human-like camera motion. You control the speed, style, and sensitivity—whether tracking a speaker, performer, or panel. It’s like having a top-tier camera operator… built into the camera.

Choose Your NDI^® Flavour. Or Choose ’em Both.

Stream in NDI^® High Bandwidth and NDI|HX simultaneously — perfect for delivering pristine, full-quality broadcast feeds to production while sending bandwidth-friendly streams to remote contributors, backup systems, or live web platforms without compromise.

Output Everything. Everywhere.

Pick Your Protocol. Use Full NDI for the PTZ, SRT or HDMI for the wide. Each lens can output independently—even over different protocols. XL supports NDI 6.1 out of the box and is ready for 6.2 and beyond. No compromises. No bandwidth regret.

Mount It Your Way.

The optional XL Mount System is designed to disappear into your rig while delivering professional stability. Hide cables, flip the camera, and mount it to truss, ceiling, tripod, or studio grid. Includes 1/4″-20, 3/8″, and safety anchor points.

Designed to fit in, with stand-out colour profiles.

XL offers a range of colour profiles tuned to match the most common looks in professional production environments. Whether you’re blending into multi-camera setups or keeping consistency with established workflows, these profiles ensure your images sit naturally alongside industry favourites while still carrying BirdDog’s signature clarity and punch.
