BirdDog KBD PTZ Controller with Integrated Screen

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.
