The BirdDog KBD PTZ Controller with Integrated Screen is a rugged, ergonomic PTZ controller with a large 5-inch integrated display, built for operators running multi-camera PTZ productions. Pair and switch cameras with a single keystroke, monitor up to four cameras at once and fine-tune framing with tactile, broadcast-grade controls, all from one comfortable, all-day device.

Key Features

  • Integrated 5-inch 1280 x 720 display: monitor up to four cameras simultaneously via NDI HX or RTSP, or focus on one in full screen.
  • Built-in tally borders: integrate with mixers such as TriCaster and vMix to show the live camera directly on the keyboard.
  • Camera Settings Sync: copy a dialled-in look from one BirdDog camera to another in seconds.
  • Super-fine control mode: increases joystick sensitivity by 10 times for precise, on-air reframing with the 4D variable-speed joystick.
  • Broad connectivity and control: NDI, VISCA-IP, ONVIF, Pelco-D, Pelco-P, RS-232 and RS-422, so it controls virtually any compatible PTZ camera, up to 255 cameras.
  • Streamlined workflow: fast pairing, switching and configuration with no menu diving, plus BirdUI for web setup and firmware updates.
  • Eco-conscious build: ocean-bound plastics and recyclable aircraft-grade aluminium with an ergonomic hand-rest for comfort.

Ideal For

Studio production, live events and mobile program acquisition.

Integrated 5-Inch Multiview

A built-in 1280 x 720 display shows up to four live camera previews at once via NDI HX or RTSP, with tally borders that work with TriCaster and vMix, so you operate without a separate monitor.

Controls Almost Any PTZ

NDI, VISCA-IP, ONVIF, Pelco-D, Pelco-P, RS-232 and RS-422 support lets the KBD drive virtually any compatible PTZ camera, addressing up to 255 cameras from one panel.

Precise, All-Day Operation

A 4D variable-speed joystick with a super-fine 10x mode delivers smooth, accurate framing, while the ergonomic hand-rest and eco-conscious aluminium build keep operators comfortable through long productions.
