BirdDog Eyes P200

The BirdDog Eyes P200 is perfect for live events because it delivers sharp, broadcast-quality video using a real Sony image sensor and 30x optical zoom. It sends video over standard network cables, which cuts down on messy wires. It also has a bright tally light so presenters always know which camera is live. This camera handles any workflow easily with three simultaneous outputs: NDI, SDI, and HDMI. You can zoom in tight on a stage, control the camera from a quiet room, and mount it in hard-to-reach places. It is built to make professional multi-camera setups simple and fast.

The BirdDog Eyes P200 is ideal for UK events. It offers brilliant image quality with a real Sony module. It also offers Power over Ethernet (PoE) to save on cables. Finally, it supports Full NDI, meaning it can send zero-latency video over standard local area networks.

Here are the three main benefits of using the P200 for your live events:

Fewer Cables with Power over Ethernet

The camera supports PoE. This means you can run a single Ethernet cable (Cat 5e or Cat 6) to the camera. This cable powers the camera, sends video to your switcher, and allows you to control the Pan, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ). It makes setting up large venue shoots much easier

Visually Lossless Full NDI Support

Unlike compressed streaming formats, the P200 uses the Full NDI codec. This gives you high-quality video (up to 1080p60) with practically zero delay. You can connect your cameras and send live feeds to streaming software like OBS, vMix, or a TriCaster over an existing local network without messy SDI cable runs

Broadcast-Quality Sony Optics

The P200 includes a true Sony Image module with a CMOS backlit sensor. It provides a fast, 30x optical zoom lens that is perfect for capturing close-up action across large spaces, such as UK sports matches or stage presentations. It performs exceptionally well in lower lighting.
