BirdDog X1 30x BLACK PTZ Camera

BirdDog X1 30x PTZ Camera

Following the X1 and X1 Ultra, BirdDog's new X1 30x is the third PTZ camera worldwide with integrated WiFi technology. It features an NDI-HX decoder that was specially developed for use with a control monitor or teleprompter via a single cable. In addition, the X1 30x offers a 30x zoom that is unmatched in the PTZ sector.

The AI tracking technology of all three X1 models keeps the respective subject in focus and follows it in real time: both during live events or spontaneous situations in hybrid environments as well as during dynamic sports recordings. Thanks to its Wi-Fi technology, the BirdDog X1 30x can also be used in locations where cables cannot be laid. This allows it to blend seamlessly into any environment. Thanks to NDI-HX3 integration, the image quality of the network transmission is excellent – with significantly reduced network load.

X1 30x features a unique tally system. A frame that is clearly visible even in daylight lights up on the front of the camera, while the rear can be marked with a replaceable, illuminated number. This means that both the actors in front of the camera and the crew always know which camera is currently on air. The revolutionary e-Ink label on the side displays the camera's network address, even when the power is off. This makes it clearly identifiable and very easy to set up at any time.

In addition, BirdDog has further optimized the display of image colors. X1 30x also features a full-color matrix with individual saturation control for red, green, blue, cyan, yellow, and magenta, with 64 control levels for each color.

The very easy-to-use app for iPad or iPhone gives you full control over the BirdDog camera – from panning, tilting, and zooming to saving and recalling preset PTZ positions to preview images in full-screen mode. All color matrix tools and settings can also be controlled via the app.

Connectivity is limitless with NDI HX3, HDMI, USB-C, and Wi-Fi, seamlessly connecting IP and baseband worlds. In the spirit of sustainability, every X1 30x is made from OBP plastics.

BirdDog X1 30x is available in black or white.
