Professional Controllers for BirdDog Cameras
SKAARHOJ and BirdDog are two brands that grew together during and after the pandemic in 2021, a time when many companies were investing in PTZ cameras for streaming and live production. We worked closely with our friends in Australia to develop the best PTZ control solution, perfectly complementing BirdDog's core offerings. Our controllers seamlessly integrate with BirdDog cameras and third-party equipment for switching and streaming control. With a single panel, users can make detailed PTZ camera adjustments, control vision mixing, and even start recording or streaming.
About BirdDog
BirdDog is a well-known brand in video technology, specializing in PTZ cameras designed for live production and streaming. The new X-Series PTZ cameras feature full NDI® support, high-quality image output, and low latency, making them suitable for various applications such as broadcasting, live events, and corporate use. These cameras are built for versatility, offering advanced autofocus, improved low-light performance, and durable construction. Additionally, the X-Series includes AI-powered tools and integration options for streamlined production workflows.
X-Series
BirdDog has introduced the all-new X-Series lineup, following years of success with the P-Series cameras. Our PTZ controllers are the go-to choice for professionals seeking precise control of the X1, X5 Ultra, and soon-to-be-released models, offering professional joystick operation and the ability to trigger routing while leveraging SKAARHOJ’s signature technologies. Additionally, SKAARHOJ panels can bridge tally signals from nearly any switching system to BirdDog cameras, featuring a large tally lamp—all without the need for GPIO or complicated cabling. We handle the translation and pass the tally to the camera seamlessly over IP. With the expanding X-Series lineup, we are committed to ensuring full integration within our ecosystem. Be sure to check for the latest updates on supported cameras and their specifications.
P-series
Over the years, BirdDog has sold thousands of PTZ cameras, from the P100 to the P4K. We’ve been a part of that journey, with our controllers playing a key role in many BirdDog installations. Although the P-Series range is now discontinued, we continue to provide extensive support for all P-Series models, enabling you to integrate older cameras with the new X-Series—all controlled seamlessly from the same panel.
Shading BirdDog
SKAARHOJ offers not only professional PTZ controllers but also a variety of shading panels in shading bay or desktop formats. If you’re looking to control BirdDog PTZ or box cameras with our RCP, we’ve got you covered. Choose from the flagship RCP Pro, the more compact RCP Mini, or the fader-based multi-cam Color Fly to suit your workflow needs.
