BirdDog P400 10-bit 4K NDI PTZ Camera with Sony Sensor

BirdDog P400 features stunning 4K resolution NDI and allows chroma subsampling in your choice of 4:2:0 or 4:2:2. P400 teams up BirdDog’s custom NDI silicon chip, a 4K Sony CMOS Backlit sensor, and a true Sony Image Module. BirdDog P400 4K includes professional-level colour tools including Colour Matrix control, Black level, Gamma including 512 pre-set gamma positions.

4:2:2 4K. Numbers matter

P400 debuts the world’s first 4K NDI with chroma subsampling at 4:2:2 which can be decoded natively in hardware by BirdDog’s 4K Family of NDI Encoders and Decoders. If decoding with a 4:2:0 receiver the stream will automatically serve 4:2:0 and this is what will be decoded.


Cam Control

BirdDog Cam Control allows full access to the entire colour matrix, black levels, and even the gamma to be able to shade your P400’s like a total pro. Right click to view camera full screen on a secondary monitor to really dial in the look you want and then copy the settings to colour match cameras in seconds.


Incredible low light performance

In low light conditions the camera automatically switches from day to night mode, removing the IR-cut filter to boost sensitivity for clear pictures in near-darkness.


Triple output. NDI, 6G-SDI & HDMI

With NDI, 6G-SDI, and HDMI simultaneous outputs, the P400 is ready to go live with your full NDI workflow today or if you are still in an old school SDI workflow you can use as an SDI camera and ease your way into the world of NDI when you are ready.


Superfine Robotics

P400’s robotics are super precise and super sensitive. Wind down the panning and tilting speeds to create super professional shots that are dramatic, or crank up the speeds for high action sports to allow you to follow the movements.

The 20x optical zoom offers a bright F2.0 aperture with a super smooth and fast zoom. Transition from wide to tele and recall preset positions really quickly


20x Optical Zoom. Fast and Crisp.

The 20x optical zoom offers a bright F2.0 aperture with a super smooth and fast zoom. Transition from wide to tele and recall pre-set positions quickly and with super fine precision.


Tally light that just works.

NDI has tally information built into the metadata so when P400 is connected to an NDI enabled switcher the tally light on the front of the unit to ensure your on air talent will always know which camera is live. There is no configuration required; it just works.

PoE or DC.

P400 can be powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE+) or from the included power adapter.
