BirdDog BDX1BUNDLE-B 3x X1 PTZ Camera Bundle with KBD Controller (Black)

The BirdDog X1 PTZ Camera Bundle in black includes three BirdDog X1 20x HD PTZ cameras, the BirdDog KBD PTZ Controller, and a custom protective foam transport case — delivering a complete, ready-to-deploy live production system in a sleek black finish. Supporting NDI|HX2, NDI|HX3, SRT, RTSP, and RTMP, this bundle integrates seamlessly into virtually any broadcast or AV workflow out of the box.

For those seeking the best NDI PTZ camera bundle for live production, houses of worship, corporate AV, or education, the BDX1BUNDLE-B delivers professional-grade capabilities at an accessible entry point. Each X1 camera supports AI subject tracking, Halo Tally, built-in NDI|HX decoding, and an industry-first E-Ink display — features typically found only in higher-cost PTZ solutions. Whether you're running a multi-camera TriCaster or vMix production or building out a campus streaming setup, this entry-level NDI PTZ camera bundle black gives operators everything needed to start strong without compromising on capability.

The included BirdDog KBD Controller is purpose-built for PTZ camera operators, featuring a large integrated screen that displays up to four camera feeds simultaneously, tactile switching feedback, and a built-in tally display synchronized with leading production switchers. Control flexibility spans NDI, VISCA, ONVIF, RS-232, and RS-422 protocols, ensuring compatibility with Q-SYS, Crestron, and BitFocus Companion ecosystems. Constructed from ocean-bound recycled plastic, the KBD reflects BirdDog's commitment to sustainable manufacturing without sacrificing the rugged ergonomics demanded by extended live event operation. A limited 5-year manufacturer warranty covers the complete bundle.
