BirdDog X1 20x HD PTZ Camera (White)

The BirdDog X1 is a 20x Full HD PTZ camera, finished in white, aimed at content creators and AV teams who want professional camera movement without complexity. It slots into NDI, baseband, or wireless Wi-Fi workflows and carries capabilities usually found on higher-end models, including AI tracking, Halo Tally, built-in NDI|HX decoding, and an industry-first E-Ink display.

Behind the 20x optical zoom sits a Sony 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor producing 1080p at up to 60 fps over HDMI, USB-C UVC, and the network port. Streaming protocols include NDI|HX2, NDI|HX3, SRT, RTSP, and RTMP with H.264/H.265 compression. Iris cloud software adds browser-based remote control, AI-powered framing, and centralized monitoring from anywhere, and the camera powers over PoE (802.3af) or DC 12V with VISCA, VISCA-IP, and NDI control.
