Birddog KBD PTZ Controller With Integrated Screen
BirdDog KBD Controller is the ideal tool for PTZ camera operators, designed with a rugged, ergonomic build and a large screen displaying up to four cameras at once. The streamlined menu provides direct access to essentials like camera pairing, while its built-in tally display integrates with mixers like TriCaster or vMix, showing the live camera right on the keyboard. With tactile feedback for camera switching, it’s intuitive and comfortable for extended use. The BirdDog KBD adapts to any setup with NDI, VISCA, ONVIF, RS-232, and RS-422 connectivity, and reflects BirdDog’s commitment to sustainability with its ocean-bound plastic construction. Packed with enhanced features, including improved access, configuration, and joystick calibration, it’s a powerful, affordable solution shaped by user feedback for greater control, comfort, and reliability.
All Day Comfort
KBD is crafted for those who rely on precision and ease in their workflow. With a rugged, ergonomic design, it's built for comfort, featuring a hand-rest area and tactile controls for all-day use.
Expanded Screen, Instant Camera Control
With a large screen that lets you monitor up to four cameras simultaneously or focus on one in full screen, seamless pairing, and effortless switching are just a button press away. The improved tactile feedback ensures smooth, intuitive transitions at your fingertips.
Camera setting Sync
An industry-first feature: effortlessly tune one camera to your exact preferences and instantly copy those settings to another camera of the same model (BirdDog X series function). Simplifying camera setup and elevating your production to the next level.
Direct Access to Key Functions
No more endless menu diving! KBD brings you straight to the essentials. With its streamlined layout, operators can access camera pairing, switching, and configuration in seconds. It's all there, clear and accessible, thanks to user feedback that’s shaped a truly user-friendly experience.
Super-fine control mode
When it's time to fine-tune, just shift the camera joystick into 'fine-tune' mode, increasing the sensitivity of the joystick by 10x, making reframing shots on air more artistic flair than nail-biting scare.
Built-in Tally borders
Pairing and switching between cameras is just a single press away, with tactile buttons providing instant feedback under your finger for smooth, intuitive transitions. When integrated with mixers like TriCaster or vMix, KBD’s built-in tally border shows the live camera directly on the keyboard, so you can stay focused without looking at other screens.
Ultimate Connectivity in an Eco-Friendly Design
BirdDog KBD connects seamlessly through NDI, VISCA, ONVIF, RS-232, and RS-422, making it versatile for any setup. Plus, with a commitment to sustainability, it's made using ocean-bound plastics and recyclable aluminum, reducing environmental impact.
Affordable Innovation
Refined through user insight, KBD delivers enhanced features at a lower price than its predecessor, offering unmatched comfort, control, and eco-consciousness for the modern PTZ camera operator.
