Overview

About the BirdDog P200

The P200 is a robotic pan, tilt and zoom camera with a Sony 1/2.8 inch sensor behind a 30x optical zoom, from 63.7 degrees wide to 2.3 degrees tight. It sends full NDI over the network, so one cable carries the picture, the control, the tally and, over PoE+, the power. HDMI and 3G-SDI outputs sit alongside for a conventional switcher.

BirdDog ended production of the P200 in April 2024 and still supports it. The figures on this page come from BirdDog's own tech specs and user guide.

Typical applications

Live streams of conferences, launches and worship
IMAG: the presenter on the LED screen or projector
Multi-camera events run from one control position
Ceiling or truss positions where a camera operator cannot stand

Pictures and control

The P200 outputs 1080p at up to 60 frames, with 128 presets so a show can be built as a list of shots and recalled on cue. It takes NDI control, VISCA over IP and serial VISCA or PELCO D, and pairs with the BirdDog PTZ Keyboard for a joystick at the desk. The E-Flip setting turns the image for a ceiling mount.

Hire the P200

The P200 is part of the Krank'd video inventory, available across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and South East Queensland. Dry hire, or supply and operate with a camera operator on site. Put the feed on the LED screen or the projector.
