Capture 1080p60 resolution video and keep your subjects in frame with AI auto framing using this black X1 PTZ Camera with 20x Zoom from BirdDog. Boasting a powerful 20x zoom as well as color matrix, API, and Kelvin control, the versatile X1 offers exceptional low-light performance and support for Wi-Fi 5 and NDI|HX3.

Physical connectivity options include an HDMI output and a USB/UVC output with independent resolution for direct connection to Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and more. A built-in halo tally and a 2.93" E-Ink display augment the camera's broad functionality features, and PoE (Power over Ethernet) support allows you to power the camera using a single Ethernet cable and facilitating quick and easy setup with limited cable clutter.

Integrated NDI Decoder
The camera features an NDI|HX decoder designed specifically for confidence monitoring, return feeds, or teleprompter usage. All the connectivity is contained into a single cable, radically simplifying how you interface with your equipment. Less gear. Less hassle.

AI Tracking
Keep your subject in focus with AI tracking technology, intelligently following your subject's movements in real-time. Whether you're orchestrating a live event, capturing spontaneous moments in a hybrid environment, or hunting down sports action, AI tracking helps you get well framed.

Wi-Fi Connectivity
No need to use cables to capture every shot. On top of regular Ethernet with PoE, the camera boasts built-in Wi-Fi functionality. Easily capture shots from spots where it's hard to run a cable, seamlessly integrating into any environment.

NDI|HX2 & NDI|HX3 Integration
Achieve superior network performance via NDI|HX2 and NDI|HX3 integration. You get significantly reduced network impact and excellent image quality for a more user-friendly experience in more network environments.

Built-In Halo Tally Light
A visible and effective halo tally system is prominent with a large, daylight visible border, and an interchangeable, illuminated numbering system. Your cast and crew will always know where to look to keep you audience engaged and your look polished.
