BirdDog MAX and POD -

At Integrated Systems Europe 2025, BirdDog have introduced two new products that together form an ideal workflow for UNified Communications.

BirdDog MAX combines the functionality of a high-resolution webcam with that of a professional PTZ production camera. It seamlessly integrates into UC workflows—perfect for Zoom, Teams, or hybrid conferences.

Features:

  • Wide-angle lens with a 90-degree field of view for comprehensive room coverage.
  • Resolution up to 2160p30 and 12x optical zoom.
  • Flexible control via Ethernet, RS232, RS485, or USB-C.
  • Energy-efficient design with a housing made from recycled materials (OBP – Ocean-Bound Plastics).
  • Supports NDI|HX2 and NDI|HX3 for low-latency transmissions in IP-based workflows.
  • Compatible with AV systems such as Crestron and Q-SYS.
  • Integration with POD for direct connection to Zoom or Teams via USB-C.

The BirdDog POD enables seamless connection of NDI sources via USB-C, allowing up to four professional video cameras to be easily used with platforms like Zoom, Teams, and other conferencing solutions.

Features:

  • Converts NDI streams into a USB-C signal following the UVC standard.
  • One-click source selection for quick switching between multiple video sources.
  • Plug-and-play operation without additional software or drivers.
  • Compact and portable design, ideal for mobile setups or fixed installations.
  • Universal compatibility with BirdDog MAX and other NDI-enabled devices.

The combination of MAX and POD offers a complete video workflow solution for conference rooms. POD connects MAX directly to a computer via USB-C, enabling the camera to function as a high-resolution UVC webcam on platforms like Zoom or Teams.

Multiple MAX cameras or other NDI sources can be seamlessly switched via POD, simplifying the use of multi-camera setups in video conferences, hybrid events, or dynamic presentations.
