Q-SYS Plugin Update Unlocks Powerful Control for BirdDog PTZ Cameras

BirdDog has announced an exciting update that expands the power and flexibility of its X Series PTZ cameras within Q-SYS environments. With the brand-new Q-SYS Automation Control plugin, AV professionals can now access more than 120 individual controls and interactions, giving them unprecedented control of their cameras in any installed AV space.

BirdDog PTZ cameras are already known for their industry-leading image quality and IP-based connectivity. Pairing that with the flexibility of Q-SYS makes them an ideal choice for organizations looking to future-proof their AV infrastructure. And with advanced replacement programs available in many regions, BirdDog delivers peace of mind alongside performance.

Expanded Camera Support

The new plugin now supports the full BirdDog X Series lineup—including MAX, X1, X1 Ultra, X4 Ultra, X5 Ultra, and MAKI Ultra—ensuring compatibility across a wide range of installations. Whether you’re working with boardrooms, lecture halls, houses of worship, or broadcast studios, the plugin provides the tools you need for smooth deployments and streamlined management.

Key New Features

With this update, Q-SYS users can take advantage of comprehensive camera control directly within their Q-SYS workflow. Some highlights include:

  • Full Camera Control & Feedback – Access pan, tilt, zoom, focus, presets, and operational modes.

  • User-Friendly Modes – Choose between Simple and Advanced control to match your project’s needs.

  • In-Depth Image Tuning – Fine-tune exposure, white balance, shutter speed, WDR, color temperature, and more.

  • Professional Color Management – Adjust primary and secondary colors with a full color matrix.

  • Stream & Protocol Management – Easily configure NDI®, SRT, RTSP, and RTMP settings.

  • System Tools – View status, reboot cameras, and manage network settings directly in Q-SYS.

This level of control simplifies integration, reduces setup time, and ensures consistent performance in even the most demanding AV environments.
