Crafted from Feedback. Built for Brilliance.
BirdDog KBD Controller offers PTZ camera operators a rugged, ergonomic design, a large multi-camera display, and direct access to essential functions. With a built-in tally display and physical feedback for camera switching, it’s intuitive and eco-friendly, made with Ocean-Bound Plastics and recyclable Aircraft-grade Aluminum. NDI, VISCA, ONVIF, RS-232, and RS-422 connectivity ensure versatility no matter what language you speak.
KBD is crafted for those who rely on precision and ease in their workflow. With a rugged, ergonomic design, it’s built for comfort, featuring a hand-rest area and tactile controls for all-day use.
When it’s time to fine-tune, you can easily shift the camera joystick into ‘fine-tune’ mode, increasing the sensitivity of the joystick by 10x, making reframing shots on air more artistic flair than nail-biting scare.
A large integrated screen that supports up to four live video previews via NDI|HX* or RTSP streams — perfect for monitoring multiple camera feeds or switching to full-screen for a single source.
The KBD’s screen offers live previews for NDI-HX2/HX3 cameras and key text-based details for others, ensuring seamless compatibility and clarity across your workflow. *Please note: This feature is not compatible with high bandwidth NDI® video sources (e.g. P400 or P4K).
Includes a built-in NDI Tally border and on-screen telemetry for quick reference of camera status, framing, and more — making your workflow more intuitive and efficient. When integrated with mixers like TriCaster or vMix, KBD’s built-in tally border shows the live camera directly on the keyboard, so you can stay focused without looking at other screens.
An industry-first feature, you can tune one camera to look exactly how you like, and then simply copy those settings directly to another camera of the same model (BirdDog X series function). Making it easy to dial your cameras in and take your production quality to the next level.
