X1 Series — The X-Factor in PTZ

Transform your productions with the BirdDog X1, X1 30x, and X1 Ultra — PTZ cameras engineered for precision movement, cinematic image quality, and professional performance across every application. Featuring Halo Tally and advanced AI Tracking, the X1 Series elevates live production with effortless control and broadcast-ready visuals.

Connectivity is designed for versatility, with NDI® HX3, HDMI, USB-C, and Wi-Fi ensuring seamless integration between IP and baseband workflows. The X1 Series also introduces the world’s first e-Ink display in a PTZ camera — always visible, even when powered off — providing instant system information or custom branding. Integrated NDI® HX decoding further streamlines operations, enabling confidence monitoring, return feeds, or teleprompter output directly from the camera.

The X1 Series is Zoom Certified for flawless compatibility with UC platforms, and from August 2025, every unit will incorporate OBP plastics, reinforcing BirdDog’s commitment to sustainability by reducing ocean waste.

Halo Tally

Professional productions demand clear communication. The X1 Series introduces the most visible tally system in its class: a bold, daylight-visible front border combined with an interchangeable illuminated numbering system at the rear, ensuring both cast and crew know exactly where to focus.

AI Tracking

Powered by intelligent algorithms, X1 and X1 Ultra maintain perfect framing with real-time AI subject tracking. Whether used in concerts, conferences, or keynote presentations, the system ensures smooth and accurate camera movement without requiring additional operators. Operators can even designate which individual to follow within the frame for precise control.

NDI® HX3

Optimized for efficiency, X1 and X1 Ultra deliver exceptional video quality via BirdDog’s NDI® HX3 technology. By minimizing bandwidth demands without sacrificing fidelity, these cameras adapt seamlessly to diverse network environments — meeting and exceeding certification standards for reliability and performance.

Wi-Fi Connectivity

For setups where cabling isn’t feasible, the X1 Series includes integrated Wi-Fi alongside Ethernet and PoE. This added flexibility allows quick deployment and smart positioning, reducing setup time while expanding creative possibilities.

Integrated NDI® HX Decoder

As the first PTZ cameras with a built-in NDI® HX decoder, X1 and X1 Ultra simplify workflows by handling return feeds, teleprompter output, or confidence monitoring with a single connection. The result: fewer devices, less setup, and streamlined control for both broadcast and corporate applications.

Zoom Certification

Fully Zoom Certified, the X1 Series integrates effortlessly into Zoom Rooms and UC environments. The result is crystal-clear video, stable connectivity, and professional performance for virtual meetings, webinars, and hybrid events — making X1 equally effective in corporate AV, education, and live production.

e-Ink Label — Always On

Breaking new ground, the X1 Series features an always-on e-Ink display. From IP addresses for simplified access to customizable logos* for branding, the display ensures every unit remains clearly identifiable at all times, even when powered down.
