4K60 NDI|HX3 Box Camera
The BirdDog MAKI Ultra captures UHD 4K60 video with a 12x optical zoom and 72.8° angle of view. It supports NDI|HX2 and NDI|HX3 for low-latency IP workflows. Outputs include SDI at 1080p60, HDMI and USB/UVC with independent resolution settings. PoE allows single-cable power and data.
Live production and streaming setups
Suits operators needing remote PTZ control, colour matrix, API and Kelvin adjustment over the network. The built-in halo tally aids multi-camera switching. Buyers requiring internal recording or SDI output above 1080p60 should consider other models.
12x optical zoom range
The 12x zoom lets you frame distant subjects without moving the camera. Combined with the wide 72.8° field of view it covers both tight shots and establishing angles. This zoom range is the key spec for deciding if the camera matches your shooting distance.

Questions about this item
Will the MAKI Ultra's 12x zoom and 72.8° angle of view integrate with my existing 1080p SDI production switcher?
Yes, the SDI output supports a maximum resolution of 1080p60, so it will connect directly to your current switcher while the camera captures at 4K60 internally.
How can I verify the MAKI Ultra is streaming correctly over the network after installation?
Check that the built-in halo tally illuminates to show live status, and confirm the receiving software (such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom) displays the UVC feed at the selected resolution.
Does the MAKI Ultra include a power supply or must I provide a PoE switch?
The camera supports Power over Ethernet, allowing it to be powered from a single Ethernet cable connected to a PoE switch or injector; no separate power supply is included.
