BirdDog Eyes A300 PTZ Camera: Weatherproof Full NDI PTZ.
BirdDog has a lot to be proud of over this bad boy; the rugged, weatherproof Eyes A300 PTZ camera. For 2022, the team at BirdDog upgraded the software package to this camera which now also includes color matrix and camera control.
The A300 PTZ Camera was specifically designed for fixed outdoor installations such as sports. This camera also boasts an IP67 rating and an unbelievable Wind Load Durability rating equal to that of a category four (4) hurricane. In short, the A300 can pretty much withstand nearly any weather condition.
By teaming up BirdDog’s custom NDI® silicon chip, a Sony CMOS backlit sensor, and a true Sony image module A300 has lightning auto focus, incredibly sharp images, and insanely fast zoom. A300 has frame rates up to 1080p60, 30x optical zoom, and outputs SDI and Full NDI® simultaneously.
