BDKBD - Overview

Crafted from Feedback. Built for Brilliance

The BirdDog KBD Controller offers PTZ camera operators a rugged, ergonomic design, a large multi-camera display, and direct access to essential functions. With a built-in tally display and physical feedback for camera switching, it's intuitive and eco-friendly, made with Ocean-Bound Plastics and recyclable Aircraft-grade Aluminum. NDI, VISCA, ONVIF, RS-232, and RS-422 connectivity ensure versatility no matter what language you speak.

Built for Seamless Control and 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.

Super-fine Control Mode
When it's time to fine-tune, you can easily 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.

Expanded Screen. Instant Camera Control.
The big screen allows you to monitor up to four cameras at once or focus on one full screen. Pairing and switching between cameras is just a single press away, with a tactile button that gives instant feedback under your finger, making transitions smooth and intuitive.

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.

Camera Setting Sync
An industry-first feature, you can tune one camera to look exactly how you like, and then simply copy those settings directly to another camera of the same model (BirdDog X series function). Making it easy to dial your cameras in and take your production quality to the next level.

Direct Access to Key Functions
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 friendly experience.

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. And with a commitment to sustainability, it's made using ocean-bound plastics, reducing environmental impact.
