Tally Light

Professional results need professional tools. X1 Ultra sports the most visible and effective Tally system available. Up front with a large, daylight visible border, and out back with an interchangeable, illuminated numbering system.

AI Tracking

Every production could use a little help from a friend. The X1 and X1 Ultra 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 focusing on details in a TED talk, AI tracking helps you get well framed.

NDI® | HX3. Enhanced Reliability on More Networks

The X1 Ultra delivers superior network performance via NDI® | HX3 integration. You get significantly reduced network impact and excellent image quality, meaning it's more friendly in more network environments. BirdDog’s NDI® | HX3 surpasses the minimum certification parameters, delivering quality and performance you can count on.

Wi-Fi Connectivity

No need to use cables to capture every shot. On top of regular Ethernet with PoE, X1 Ultra has built-in Wi-Fi functionality. Easily capture shots from spots where it's hard to run cable, seamlessly integrating into any environment. Your set up just became a whole lot more flexible.

Integrated NDI® | HX Decoder

The X1 Ultra is the world’s first PTZ camera featuring an NDI® | HX* Decoder designed specifically for confidence monitoring, return feeds, or teleprompter usage. We’ve pulled all this connectivity into a single cable, radically simplifying how you interface with your equipment. The integrated NDI® | HX decoder enables more engagement with less setup.
