New firmware for all Cameras and PTZ Keyboard and release notes are online now - https://birddog.tv/downloads/

Camera Firmware 5.5.093
This release contains the following features and fixes:

• Security Update.

• Changes to the update process:
- Improved update speed.
- Update order is now reversed. It is recommended that the firmware is now updated before the MCU.

PTZ Keyboard Firmware 5.5.224
This release includes the following new features and bug fixes:

• In BIRDUI / SYSTEM / P/T CONTROL there is now a P/T Velocity Control setting for the joystick, allowing selection of either Superfine or Standard. Superfine provides less coarsely quantised movement resulting in more precise control. When Superfine is selected, you’ll need to move the joystick more slowly when performing the bootup calibration.

• The default operation of the Function Keys is now selection of Camera 1 - Camera 6. However, this update will not override your preferred Function Key assignment and will only take effect when the Keyboard settings are returned to the Factory default.

• Faster response when switching between cameras.

Must still be Xmas!

CD: PTZ Production Software that makes Multicam Sports a Breeze.

Camera Director is the ultimate tool for PTZ productions that have multiple BirdDog PTZ cameras. Create individual Pan, Tilt, and Zoom paths for each camera, then group those cameras together to move as one when you recall that preset.

Create as many multicam presets as you wish and then set them to start automatically by adding waypoints. As the cameras hit each waypoint they will move to the next group preset. Set up as many waypoints as you wish, put them in order, and you have a totally automated multicamera production.

Camera Director is perfect for any production where you have a repetitive set of movements, such as Horse Racing, Cricket, Awards Ceremonies, Presentations, Car Racing, and more.

BETA Version available now at birddog.tv/download

A set-up at quick notice for a funeral. The family had members who could not make it physically so asked to live stream. They were blown away that they had over 60 viewers online. Making it happen vMix of course and BirdDog cameras. Set-up in under an hour. And the mystery box in the picture a new bonding encoder we are adding to our store. It has the advantage over our LiveU units in that is bi-directional and bonds all data traffic. We are deploying one of these in Timor-Leste! Watch out for a video review soon. In the meantime, if you need to get your livestreams upgraded, talk to us about how we can help.

At mindIT systems we have been a bit quiet lately, gearing up for all the new product in 2023 and a number of exciting projects. However we are pleased to let you know that vMix 26 is in Beta and having given a solid workout over the last few months we are looking forward to offering it to you on official release. Get in tough about how to upgrade your licence. P.S. Did you know that vMix is in use at the United Nations?

Central Control continues to add new features and with the release of v3 comes a new pricing structure. Talk to us about upgrading to the latest version to take advantage of Teleprompter, WebPanel, PTZ Control and much more.

Whilst it has been a quiet time for us, over at BirdDog it has been anything but. The upgrades and new products are rolling out at a constant pace. Not only did BirdDog go public in 2022, but they have released the first round of LTS firmware for their camera range (converters on the way), shipped the Play and Wallplates, released new versions of software including BirdDog Cloud 3 and Cam Control, and introduced the new cameras the P110, P120 and the p240. Unfortunately this also marks the end of the P100 and the P200, but the new cameras bring enhanced sensors and a Mohawk tally light amongst other upgraded features.

In other news mIndIT systems has also become a Kiloview reseller. This aligns with our NDI everywhere strategy. Talk t us about their product offering and how you can use them in your workflow. Talking NDI, we have in country stock of the NETGEAR AV Line M4250 8 Port PoE+ switch. These are highly sought after around the world and as we use them ourselves can attest to the ease of use and reliability in an NDI environment.

mindIT systems has also become a reseller for a new to Australia bonding solution which we will launch in the near future. This solution will bond up to five separate 4G/5G dongles into one connection providing redundancy and increased capacity. We have already tested it in the field at a number of event and it has proved its worth. Unlike a number of other solutions this can be used for data as well as video and is really cost competitive.

Finally, we are involved in a project to implement a new ICT solution for a Timorese NGO Klibur Domin, and would love you to support our efforts to support theirs! Please have a look at the video below, view their website and if you are able contact us about the project and what support we are looking for.
