Compact 4K camera for live production

The BirdDog MAKI Ultra is a white box camera built for streaming, broadcast and event capture. It delivers UHD 4K60 resolution through a 12x optical zoom lens with a 72.8° angle of view. Integrated NDI|HX2 and NDI|HX3 support enables low-latency IP video workflows without additional encoding hardware.

Sustained IP video performance

The camera maintains 4K60 output over NDI streams while simultaneously providing independent resolutions on HDMI and USB/UVC outputs. Colour matrix, API and Kelvin controls remain responsive during extended sessions. PoE power delivery removes the need for a separate supply, keeping the signal chain stable over long cable runs.

Thermal and acoustic profile

A compact chassis allows placement in tight rigs or on-camera positions where larger units cannot fit. Passive cooling keeps acoustic noise negligible in quiet studios or on-stage environments. Single-cable PoE reduces infrastructure complexity and overall power draw compared to multi-cable setups.

Questions about this item

How much power does the MAKI Ultra draw over Ethernet during all-day 4K60 streaming?

The camera uses PoE so a single Ethernet cable supplies both data and power, removing the need for a separate power adapter.

What network equipment must I already have to run this camera over PoE?

You need a PoE-capable network switch or injector that can deliver the required wattage over the Ethernet run.

Can I feed the 1080p60 SDI output into my older vision mixer while simultaneously sending 4K60 over NDI?

Yes, the SDI port outputs up to 1080p60 independently of the NDI
