BirdDog released their new X5 Ultra PTZ system. With an improved mechanical design and uncompromising 12G-SDI and NDI connectivity, all wrapped up with a Sony 4K60 sensor.
   

Professional results need professional tools. The X5 Ultra sports the most visible and effective Tally system available. Up front, with a large, daylight-visible border keeping talent looking directly at the camera. Your cast and crew will always know where to look, keeping your audience engaged.

X5 Ultra takes AI auto-tracking and framing to the next level. Featuring an order of magnitude more neural processing capabilities, the out-of-the-box X5 Ultra has incredible AI powers but also the headroom to grow as AI progresses.

The X5 Ultra delivers superior network performance via our implementation of NDI | HX3. Significantly reducing network impact while maintaining excellent image quality, meaning it is more friendly in more network environments.

BirdDog’s NDI | HX3 surpasses certification parameters, delivering quality and performance you can count on across ALL video resolutions.

The X5 Ultra is part of the family of PTZ cameras featuring the first simultaneous NDI | HX Decoder designed specifically for confidence monitoring, return feeds, or teleprompter usage. We’ve pulled all this connectivity into a single cable, radically simplifying how you interface with your equipment.
