With the new X4E Ultra PTZ camera, BirdDog has launched a wired version of the X4 Ultra. It has been specially designed for studios, event venues, places of worship, and large installations where maximum reliability and value are paramount.
To this end, the X4E Ultra draws on the powerful DNA of the X4 Ultra. It features the same Sony sensor, the same image pipeline, and, last but not least, the same precision technology from BirdDog. However, all components are optimized for wired workflows. This is because the X4E was developed for fixed installations and controlled network environments where consistency is the decisive factor.
By eliminating Wi-Fi and an internal battery, the X4E Ultra is easier for system installers to integrate. Its lower price makes it easier to decide to use multiple cameras. At the same time, it offers the same professional flexibility for SDI, HDMI, USB-C, SRT, NDI, RTMP, and RTSP.
As a professional tool, the X4E Ultra features what is probably the most visible and effective tally system on the market today. It surrounds the lens with a large frame that is visible even in daylight and ensures that the actors look directly into the camera. At the same time, both the actors and the production team always know where to look in order to captivate the audience.
The X4E Ultra's AI control is user-friendly and ensures reliable and consistent performance with every shot. As demands increase, the AI functions expand and adapt to enable precise, automated control of your PTZ camera movements.
Thanks to the implementation of NDI|HX3, the X4E Ultra offers excellent network performance. The impact on the network is significantly reduced while maintaining excellent image quality, allowing the camera to be used in even more network environments.
The X4E Ultra's always-on E-Ink label is an important innovation. On the one hand, it allows
each camera to be easily identified even when switched off. On the other hand, network addresses can be displayed for easy access to controls or even customizable logos (available soon) that complement your brand image.
BirdUI gives users full access to all X4E Ultra features via an intuitive user interface - from anywhere, as long as they are on the same network as the X4E Ultra. BirdUI also offers additional features such as a camera monitoring dashboard and light/dark modes that can be adapted to your production environment.
The BirdDog X4E Ultra is available in black or white.
