The BirdDog X1 is the entry point into BirdDog's X1 PTZ line, with 20x optical zoom and 1080p60 resolution. AI auto framing holds the subject in shot, and an integrated 2.93in E-Ink display shows status at the camera itself. Wi-Fi 5 and NDI|HX3 support cover both wireless and networked production, HDMI and USB/UVC outputs connect to a switcher or capture device, and a built-in Halo tally shows on-air status. Colour matrix, API and Kelvin control add manual adjustment on top of the camera's low-light performance, with PoE keeping the cable run to one.
