Densitron integrates BirdDog cameras with its IDS platform

BirdDog cameras can now be controlled via Densitron’s Intelligent Display System (IDS) platform.

The integration provides an easy-to-use interface that allows camera operators to adjust primary settings such as position, location, and preset store and recall.

BirdDog manufactures a wide range of PTZ cameras and converters. Supporting production in HD and 4K, the company’s products are used by some of the biggest names in broadcast, houses of worship, esports and education. BirdDog has also embedded the NDI video-over-IP transport and codec technology into its full range, which has facilitated the integration that Densitron has achieved with BirdDog.

Reuben Such, global business director at Densitron IDS, said: “One of the driving principles with IDS has always been that we work effectively with multiple third-party systems. Increasingly, it had come to our attention that BirdDog cameras were being selected for projects in broadcast, houses of worship and other areas of pro-AV. We already supported a wide range of PTZ cameras from other manufacturers, so it was a logical move for us to provide the same kind of straightforward control interface for use with BirdDog products.

“We like their hardware and they like our software, so it’s a perfect marriage. BirdDog has a brilliant reputation in the industry, and is always pushing forward with new products. So it’s great that we are now able to offer its ever-growing customer base a complete integration with our IDS platform.”

Densitron (8.C90) and BirdDog (6.A19) will be showcasing their partnership at IBC 2022, which takes place in Amsterdam on 9-16 September.
