Winging it? Not with Birddog’s controller

Posted on Apr 1, 2025 by Pro Moviemaker

Birddog’s new KBD Controller puts PTZ power at your fingertips, with multi-cam views, smart pairing and a screen that does more

Birddog’s KBD Controller is the next generation of PTZ keyboard, 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 set-up with NDI, Visca, Onvif, RS-232 and RS-422 connectivity. Improvements include easier access, configuration and joystick calibration.

The screen lets you monitor up to four cameras at once or focus on one in full-screen mode. You can set up a camera and copy settings to another of the same model (only Birddog X series).
