BirdDog X4E Ultra PTZ Camera with AI Tracking (Black)

The BirdDog X4E Ultra PTZ Camera with AI Tracking delivers professional-grade video capture for broadcasters and content creators who need reliable, intelligent camera control. This streamlined PTZ camera combines NDI HX3 streaming, AI-powered subject tracking, and multiple output options (SDI, HDMI, USB-C) in a simplified design that removes Wi-Fi and internal battery for easier multi-camera integration whilst maintaining the advanced features that make the X4 series stand out.

HALO Tally System

The X4E Ultra features a daylight-visible tally ring that surrounds the lens, ensuring your talent and crew always know which camera is live. This large, bright border keeps everyone looking at the right camera, maintaining audience engagement and eliminating awkward moments during multi-camera productions.

AI Tracking

Intelligent subject tracking removes the need for dedicated camera operators in many scenarios. The X4E Ultra's AI controls deliver predictable, consistent performance, automatically following your subject with smooth, professional movements. As your production needs evolve, the AI capabilities adapt to provide precise automated control over pan, tilt, and zoom functions.

NDI HX3 Support

Network-based video workflows become effortless with NDI HX3 technology. The X4E Ultra significantly reduces network bandwidth requirements whilst maintaining exceptional image quality and low latency. BirdDog's implementation exceeds standard certification parameters, giving you reliable performance for both live production and streaming applications.

Simplified Design for System Integration

By removing the Wi-Fi module and internal battery found in the standard X4 Ultra, the X4E offers cleaner installation for permanent setups and more accessible pricing when deploying multiple cameras. You still get comprehensive connectivity options including SDI, HDMI, USB-C, plus streaming protocols like SRT, NDI, RTMP, and RTSP.

Professional Image Quality

The latest Sony image sensor delivers superior low-light performance and supports frame rates up to 4K at 60fps. Whether you're shooting in a controlled studio environment or dealing with challenging lighting conditions, the X4E Ultra captures clean, detailed footage that holds up in professional productions.
