Workflow Examples
Simply connect your XL Ultra to your existing GigE switched network and deliver UHD images with crystal clear, balanced audio to your remote presentation. The bi-directional nature of NDI® means that, as stunning images and audio are busy leaving your camera, the SAME network cable can be used to provide powerful control, as well as power, TO your cameras. Use our free Cam Control software to remotely dial exactly the look you want using comprehensive colour and exposure, and noise reduction tools. Fully adjustable facial and body recognition offers reliable, automatic tracking of your talent – perfect for broadcast studios, lecturer/teacher applications, house of worship, or any time the on-air talent is moving. For more complex camera movement, the BirdDog KBD provides low-latency pan, tilt and zoom control of your XL Ultra. Easily decode your NDI® back to HDMI for final display using our compact PLAY converters. Featuring comprehensive control support via RESTful API, Crestron, Zoom API, or Q-SYS API, PLAY ensures the most professional presentation experience.
The incredibly flexible feature set of the XL Ultra makes it an ideal camera for video podcasting. The superb low-light capability of the 5K CMOS Sensor means you won’t have to spend a fortune on lighting to have your presenters look amazing. Plug your microphone directly into the phantom-powered, balanced XLR connection to maintain pristine audio quality. Clearly visible camera Tally lights ensure that your presenters always know when they are on-air. Once connected to your existing PoE+ GigE network, the magic of NDI® does the rest! The single cable Ethernet connection not only powers your camera but also provides you with complete remote control.

If you have moving on-air talent, Cam Control has you covered with adjustable facial and body tracking. For more comprehensive pan, tilt and zoom control of your XL Ultra, simply add the BirdDog KBD. With the easy addition of OBS Studio or Wirecast software, your networked environment is now a powerful and flexible video podcast studio!
One of the powerful features of the XL Ultra is the ability to simultaneously output video in NDI®, HDMI, and SDI formats. This allows you to seamlessly slot your XL Ultra into your SDI environment while still enjoying all the benefits that networked NDI® video provides. While your SDI video is happily on its way to your broadcast infrastructure, NDI® video can be separately processed and piped to anywhere you need it. Which means anywhere on your network or anywhere you can run a single Ethernet cable! Simply add compact BirdDog PLAY converters and decode back to HDMI for easy display. Add BirdDog Multiview Pro software for professional multiview monitoring on a single display. Use our free Cam Control software to dial a completely different look for the NDI® video using comprehensive colour, exposure and noise reduction tools.

Sometimes less IS really more! BirdDog and NDI® make single cable connectivity a reality. Your camera placement no longer needs to be dictated by power or control access requirements. Now you can mount your XL Ultra exactly where needed from the best production standpoint. A single Ethernet cable is all you need to receive UHD images and pristine audio FROM your camera, as well as send control and power TO your camera. Use our free Cam Control software to dial exactly the look you want using comprehensive colour, exposure and noise reduction tools. For productions featuring a single, moving presenter, Cam Control also helps you out with adjustable facial and body tracking. Need more manual control? The BirdDog KBD gives you lowlatency pan, tilt and zoom control of your cameras, as well as Preset recall of camera Exposure, Shutter Speed, Iris, Compensation, White Balance, Focus and Zoom Speed Add BirdDog Multiview Pro software for professional multiview monitoring on a single display, and team Central 2.0 with our compact PLAY converters to direct any number of your NDI® sources, to any number of display destinations.
