This isn’t just another PTZ. It’s the heavyweight champ, built around a colossal 4/3"" CMOS sensor — the kind usually found in pro cinema and DSLR cameras. Paired with a 20× optical zoom (40× in HD), OLPF, and ND filters, XL delivers cinematic depth, incredible low-light performance, and clarity that makes other PTZs look small.
But XL is more than just a big sensor. Its dual-camera design gives you both a main PTZ and a 100° panoramic camera, each shooting in 4K60, each independently adjustable, and each able to output simultaneously. One camera, two perspectives, endless flexibility.
AI tracking is powered by a neural processor that frames subjects naturally, moving with human-like precision. Premium motors and a next-gen thermal system keep motion whisper-smooth and nearly silent, so all the drama stays in front of the camera, not behind it.
Connectivity is uncompromising: 12G-SDI, HDMI, SFP+ fiber, PoE++, and balanced XLR audio, plus simultaneous Full NDI® and NDI® HX3. Dual streaming lets you send NDI alongside SRT, RTMP, or RTSP, so you’re ready for any workflow — broadcast, AV, XR, or virtual production.
With signature BirdDog touches like Halo Tally with RGB customization, dual side e-ink displays, and a rear numbering tally system, XL Ultra doesn’t just perform like cinema — it looks the part too.
From studios and XR stages to houses of worship and arena productions.
