Superior 4K imaging for professional video

The BirdDog Max 12X PTZ Camera delivers 8.29 megapixel 4K Ultra HD resolution through a Sony 1/2.8" CMOS sensor. It is built for boardrooms, broadcast studios and live production environments that need crisp, detailed video output.

Flexible control via Ethernet, serial and USB-C

Integration uses 10/100 Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485 and USB-C UVC 1.1 with VISCA, VISCA-IP and NDI protocols. Installers must verify network bandwidth and cabling distance for each control method to avoid dropped commands.

12x optical zoom covers mid-range detail

The 12x optical zoom maintains clarity across its focal range for typical conference and stage distances. Extremely wide rooms or long-throw applications beyond the zoom reach will need a separate lens or camera position.
