BirdDog MAKI Ultra 4K 20x Zoom Box Camera (White)

The BirdDog MAKI Ultra is a compact 4K box camera in white with a 20x zoom, made for placing distinctive angles where a PTZ will not fit: POV shots at eSports events, drum-riser views on a band rig, or tight stage positions in a house of worship. Its small footprint and side-mounted physical buttons keep setup and operation straightforward.

A 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor captures 2160p up to 60 fps, and a ToF sensor drives super-fast autofocus that holds moving subjects sharp. Output runs through HDMI 2.0, 3G-SDI, and USB-C UVC, with NDI|HX2, NDI|HX3, and RTMP over Gigabit Ethernet and PoE 802.3af power. Eight physical buttons control zoom, focus, brightness, menus, image freeze, and mode switching, while the HALO Tally system makes it clear which camera is live.
