Birddog X4E Ultra Black 

The BirdDog X4E Ultra is a professional 4K PTZ camera with AI tracking and NDI|HX3, designed for stable, network‑based installations. It delivers high-end performance in a wired-only configuration without Wi‑Fi or battery.

The BirdDog X4E Ultra is built for modern production environments requiring reliability, image quality, and seamless integration. Based on the X4 platform, it has been streamlined for fixed installations and managed network environments.

By removing Wi‑Fi and internal battery, the X4E offers improved stability, lower system complexity, and better scalability for multi-camera deployments.

At its core is a high-performance Sony CMOS sensor, delivering detailed images up to 4Kp60, supported by a refined image processing pipeline.

The camera features NDI|HX3, enabling high-quality video streaming with reduced bandwidth consumption, alongside support for SRT, RTMP, and RTSP for flexible IP workflows.

AI tracking and auto framing automatically follow subjects, reducing manual operation and improving workflow efficiency in live productions.

The integrated HALO tally system provides a clear visual indicator for active cameras, improving coordination in multi-camera setups.
