What You’re Getting
The X1 Ultra Black is a current-generation PTZ camera built around a Sony 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor, delivering 4K30 / 1080p60 output with a 12x optical zoom and NDI® | HX2 and HX3, HDMI, SRT, RTMP, RTSP, USB-C UVC, and WiFi connectivity. This is an active product in the BirdDog lineup — fully supported, firmware-updated, and backed by a global 12-month factory warranty.
It carries everything the X Series is known for: the iconic Halo tally visible from any angle, e-ink displays for at-a-glance camera identification, and full compatibility with BirdDog Cam Control for AI auto-tracking and colour shading at no extra cost. The built-in NDI® | HX decoder outputs to HDMI — confidence monitoring and return feeds over a single cable, no extra hardware required. PoE over Ethernet keeps cabling clean. Every advertised feature works, and works demonstrably.
This unit is ex-demo. It has been used for demonstration purposes and may show minor cosmetic imperfections — marks, light scuffs, or wear consistent with careful professional handling. Functionality is unaffected. It has been tested and verified prior to sale, and ships complete with all original packaging and accessories.
What You Need to Know Before You Buy
This is a current BirdDog product sold at ex-demo pricing. You are getting a fully supported camera at a reduced cost — not a clearance unit, not a compromise.
This is the right camera if you want to:
- Deploy a proven, award-winning PTZ platform with full ongoing support
- Get into 4K NDI production without paying new-unit price
- Run a camera that will continue to receive firmware updates and manufacturer backing
- Add a reliable, well-specified PTZ to a live event, house of worship, or permanent install rig
Minor cosmetic imperfections aside, there is no functional difference between this unit and a new X1 Ultra Black off the shelf.
The Pedigree
The X1 Ultra sits squarely in the sweet spot of BirdDog’s X Series — the camera platform that has won multiple industry awards and is trusted on live event stages, in houses of worship, and across touring productions worldwide. It outperforms anything else at its price point: the sensor, the motor drive system, the connectivity stack, the tally — all of it is over-specified for what the competition offers. This is a camera that has earned its reputation in the field.
