BirdDog KBD - PTZ Controller Panel with Display & NDI

Designed from feedback. Built for excellence. BirdDog's KBD controller gives PTZ camera operators a robust and ergonomic design, a large multi-camera display, and direct access to essential functions. With a built-in tally screen and physical feedback for camera switching, it's intuitive and eco-friendly, made from Ocean-Bound Plastics and recyclable Aircraft-Grade Aluminum. NDI, VISCA, ONVIF, RS-232, and RS-422 connectivity ensures versatility no matter what language you speak.

Built for Smooth Control and Comfort.

KBD is designed for those who rely on precision and ease in their workflow. With a robust and ergonomic design, it’s built for comfort, including a palm rest area and tactile controls for all-day use.

Super Fine Control Mode.

When it’s time for fine-tuning, you can easily switch the camera joystick into 'super fine tune' mode, multiplying the joystick sensitivity by 10, turning the reframing of live shots into a display of artistic style instead of a moment of tension.

Expanded Display. Instant Camera Switching.

The large display allows you to monitor up to four cameras at once or focus on one in full screen. Pairing and switching between cameras is just a press away, with a tactile button offering instant feedback under your finger, making transitions smooth and intuitive. The KBD display 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 press away, with tactile buttons providing instant feedback under your finger for smooth and intuitive transitions. When integrated with mixers like TriCaster or vMix, the KBD’s built-in tally border displays the active ('on-air') camera directly on the keypad, so you can keep your focus without looking at other screens.

Camera Settings Adjustment.

An industry-first function – you can set up one camera exactly how you like it and then copy those settings directly to another camera of the same model (BirdDog X series function). This makes it easy to fine-tune your cameras and take your production quality to the next level.

Direct Access to Key Functions.

No more endless menu navigation! KBD gets you right to the essentials. With its streamlined design, operators can access camera pairing, switching, and setup within seconds. Everything is right there, clear and accessible, thanks to user feedback that has shaped a truly friendly experience.

Ultimate Connectivity in an Eco-Friendly Design.

BirdDog KBD connects seamlessly via NDI, VISCA, ONVIF, RS-232, and RS-422, making it versatile for any setup. And with a commitment to sustainability, it's crafted from ocean-reclaimed plastics, reducing environmental impact.
