About BirdDog P240

When it comes to revolutionizing the world of live productions, the P240 Full HD Full NDI/HDMI/3G-SDI 40x PTZ Camera in white is a game-changer. This advanced camera builds on the legacy of the NDI PTZ P200, introducing an upgraded Sony Exmor R broadcast sensor for enhanced light sensitivity and superior image quality.

The P240 camera offers three versatile output options - NDI, SDI, and HDMI, providing ultimate video flexibility. It also features Balanced XLR audio for professional audio connections. The camera's IP output options are diverse, including Full NDI, NDI|HX2, HX3, SRT, and h.264, and it's fully integrated with BirdDog Cloud 3.0 for globally connected remote productions.

This PTZ camera is equipped with an OLED display for easy viewing of the IP address, a 360-degree mohawk tally, a filter thread, a safety anchor point, and a carry handle. It supports NDI 5.5 natively, ensuring maximum compatibility across all NDI ecosystems.

The P240 camera's Sony Exmor R Sensor ensures exceptional lowlight performance, making it ideal for challenging lighting situations such as concerts. It also features Balanced XLR audio inputs and outputs via the included breakout cable with a locking connector, which can also supply Phantom Power.

The P240 camera's user interface, BirdUI, provides comprehensive system statistics, including active connections, current bandwidth usage, and network traffic. It also supports Reliable User Datagram Protocol (RUDP) for reduced network load and maximum reliability.

With NDI Genlock, you can select an NDI source as the timing master for more predictable timing in multi-camera environments. The P240 camera also supports FreeD for sending PTZ positioning data to AR/VR systems.

The camera's unique 360-degree mohawk tally and removable silicon numbers at the back provide additional tally vision and easy camera identification for switcher operators.

The P240 camera supports a wide range of formats, including NDI|HX2, NDI|HX3, SRT, h.264, and with a BirdDog Cloud subscription, you can access the PTZ cameras and all features from anywhere in the world.

The camera comes with free software tools, including Central Lite for driving your NDI streams to any BirdDog Studio NDI or Mini to decode NDI back to SDI or HDMI, Cam Control for easy access to all settings of all the BirdDog cameras on your network, and Comms Lite for your free Audio Intercom solution.

In summary, the P240 Full HD Full NDI/HDMI/3G-SDI 40x PTZ Camera in white is a powerful tool for live productions, offering superior image quality, versatile output options, and a host of advanced features.
