Cinematic Sensor. PTZ Form.

A cinematic-grade PTZ camera. At its core: a large-format 4/3" CMOS sensor, paired with a 20x optical zoom (up to 40x in HD). The result? Filmic depth of field, incredible clarity, and outstanding low-light performance.

Two 4K Cameras

Alongside the main PTZ is a built-in 100° panoramic camera powered by a 1/1.8" sensor, larger than what many PTZs use as their primary.Both cameras shoot in 4K60. Both are independently controllable and output simultaneously as separate sources. Whether over IP or baseband, mix as needed.

Al That Moves Like a Human

XL’s next-gen AI tracking engine delivers natural, human-like camera motion. You control the speed, style, and sensitivity—whether tracking a speaker, performer, or panel. It’s like having a top-tier camera operator… built into the camera.

Bird Dog DNA, Evolved.

XL features our most refined design yet. The RGB Halo Tally is now fully customizable. Side-mounted dual e-ink displays show IP, logo, or camera ID even when powered off. A rear Tally with snap-on stencil caps makes camera IDs clear in multi-cam setups. 

Unmatched Connectivity.

With 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, and optical 12G-SDI via SFP+, XL plugs into any setup. Balanced XLR with phantom power, PoE++, and SFP for long runs.

Choose Your NDI® Flavour. Or Use Both.

Stream in NDI® High Bandwidth and NDI®|HX simultaneously — perfect for delivering pristine, full-quality broadcast feeds to production while sending bandwidth-friendly streams to remote contributors, backup systems, or live web platforms without compromise.
