BirdDog KBD NDI PTZ Camera Controller

The BirdDog KBD NDI PTZ Camera Controller is an excellent tool for camera operators, with a durable, ergonomic design that provides both comfort and precision. Its large display allows you to see up to four video feeds simultaneously or focus on a single full-screen view, giving you complete control at a look. Having fast access to critical features like camera pairing, switching, and settings lowers distractions, resulting in faster and more successful work. KBD works smoothly with modern workflows and platforms such as TriCaster, vMix, and OBS. Tactile controls and built-in tally limitations allow a smooth changeover. It is composed of ocean-bound polymers and recyclable aluminum, displaying a commitment to sustainability while yet delivering professional-level performance. It's the ideal blend of power, comfort, and environmentally conscious innovation, honed through user feedback.

All-Day Comfort

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.

Super-Fine Control Mode

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.

Expanded Screen Control

The big screen allows you to monitor up to four cameras at once or focus on one full screen. Pairing and switching between cameras is just a single press away, with a tactile button that gives instant feedback under your finger, making transitions smooth and intuitive. 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.

Integrated Tally Borders

Pairing and switching between cameras is just a single press away, with tactile buttons providing instant feedback under your finger for smooth, intuitive transitions. 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.

Effortless Camera Settings Sync

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.

Streamlined Access

No more endless menu diving! KBD brings you straight to the essentials. With its streamlined layout, operators can access camera pairing, switching, and configuration in seconds. It’s all there, clear and accessible, thanks to user feedback that’s shaped a truly friendly experience.

Ultimate Connectivity

BirdDog KBD connects seamlessly through NDI, VISCA, ONVIF, RS-232, and RS-422, making it versatile for any setup. And with a commitment to sustainability, it’s made using ocean-bound plastics, reducing environmental impact.

Affordable Innovation

With enhanced features and a lower price than its predecessor, KBD is refined through user insight, offering unmatched comfort, control, and eco-consciousness for the modern PTZ camera operator.

Plastic with a Purpose

Crafted with ocean-bound plastics and recyclable aircraft-grade aluminium, it reflects a commitment to sustainability.
