  • UHD 4K60 capture for ultra-sharp streaming

  • Dual 2.93" E-Ink displays show tally and status
  • PoE+ and Gigabit Ethernet simplify cabling

Professional 4K60 PTZ Webcam

The BirdDog X5 Ultra is a PTZ webcam built for live production and streaming at UHD 4K60 resolution. A 20x optical zoom lens keeps distant subjects sharp while AI auto tracking and framing hold the shot without manual adjustment. It suits broadcasters, educators and corporate AV teams who need reliable robotic camera control.

Integrated tally displays

Two 2.93 inch E-Ink displays provide built-in halo tally indication visible from wide angles. Outputs include 12G-SDI, HDMI 2.0 and USB/UVC so the camera feeds switchers, recorders or conferencing apps simultaneously. Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+ support delivers NDI|HX3 video and power over a single cable run.

Replaces fixed webcams and basic PTZ units

This camera upgrades static USB webcams that lack zoom, tally or networked video transport. The jump is worth it when productions need remote robotic control, simultaneous SDI and USB outputs, or low-light colour matrix performance that basic sensors cannot match. Buyers who only need a simple plug-and-play webcam for solo desk use will not use the PTZ, tally or NDI|HX3 features.
