BirdDog - 'XL Ultra Cinematic PTZ Camera'
White
Built to ExcelBirdDog XL Ultra is a cinematic-grade PTZ camera built for high-end broadcast, XR stages, virtual production, and premium studio installs. At its core is a large-format 4/3" CMOS sensor paired with a 20x optical zoom (40x in HD), OLPF, and ND filters - delivering cinematic depth of field, outstanding clarity, and exceptional low-light performance.
A Colossal Sensor
Cinema Starts HereXL features a massive 4/3″ CMOS sensor—the kind found in professional digital cameras.
Combined with a 20x optical zoom lens (40x in HD), it delivers stunning depth of field, sharp clarity, and incredible low-light performance. It’s not just for capturing footage—it’s for crafting images.
Twice the Power
Two CamerasWhy settle for one view? XL includes a second built-in 100° panoramic camera powered by a 1/1.8″ sensor—larger than what many PTZs use as their main sensor. Both cameras shoot in 4K60, are independently controllable, and can output at the same time.
Use NDI for both, or separate SRT, RTSP, RTMP, HDMI, or 3G-SDI for the wide shot. Maximum flexibility. Full control.
