BirdDog MAKI Ultra 12x White Box Camera
€750.00
The BirdDog MAKI Ultra 12x White is a compact yet powerful 4K60 box camera designed for professional live production, broadcast, and streaming...
Broadcast teams that need a discreet camera body without sacrificing image fidelity tend to gravitate toward the Lumens VC-BC301P, a 4K POV box camera built around a 1/1.8" 9.17-megapixel Sony CMOS sensor. That comparatively large imager pulls in plenty of light, holding clean colour and low noise even when a venue dims the house lights for a performance or an e-sports final. Footage stays sharp from 4K UltraHD (3840 x 2160) right down through 1080p and 720p, all the way to 60 frames per second, so fast motion on a pitch or a keyboard reads crisply rather than smearing.
Framing is handled by a fixed wide lens covering a 102° horizontal viewing angle, with an F1.6 aperture and a minimum focusing distance of roughly 30 centimetres. Set the unit close to a presenter and it still takes in several guests at once; pull it back a few metres and a whole studio floor or radio set fits inside the frame. Because there is no protruding zoom barrel, the body stays small enough to tuck onto a robotic head, a slim tripod or a ceiling mount where a full PTZ dome would look intrusive. A built-in tally light tells talent the moment they are live, and ePTZ with 256 stored positions lets an operator recompose without ever touching the rig.
Signal routing is where the VC-BC301P earns its place in a rack. It pushes video simultaneously over HDMI 2.0, Ethernet (IP) and USB 3.0, while a 3.5 mm mic/line input embeds audio onto the HDMI and IP feeds. For live distribution the camera speaks RTSP, RTMP, RTMPS, MPEG-TS and SRT, encoding in HEVC (H.265) or H.264, which means a single unit can hand a clean 4K stream to YouTube, Twitch or a private decoder while a second output feeds a conference codec or a switcher. Remote shading and pan stay consistent thanks to WDR, 3D noise reduction and image flip.
Integrators tend to appreciate how little cabling the Lumens VC-BC301P demands. A single Ethernet run carries power, video and control together through PoE, with 12 V DC available as a fallback, and the camera answers to VISCA over IP, ONVIF or UVC depending on the control surface in the room. Connected as a plain USB webcam, it drops straight into Teams, Zoom or a Mac-based studio app. Backed by Lumens' standard five-year warranty, it suits multi-camera switching, fixed-rig documentary positions, visual radio and unattended streaming installations that have to run for years without fuss.

VC-BC301P - 4K POV Minicam with IP, HDMI, and USB
Presenting Clear Live e-Sports Image
The VC-BC301P is designed around a large, high sensitivity 1/1.8" Sony sensor which delivers excellent 4K and HD image quality in all lighting conditions. Delivering broadcast-quality results, this compact camera can be used for a wide range of applications including live-action 60fps sports, e-learning, e-sports, visual radio, or studio production.
102° Wide Viewing Angle
The lens' 102-degree horizontal viewing angle extends the versatility of the camera even further. Placed close to the subject, the camera can still frame multiple studio guests or gamers. Placed at a distance or a few meters, it can capture the full width of a video studio, performance area, radio studio, or demo space. Small and unobtrusive, it is well suited for fixed rig documentary production or POV sports broadcasting.
Live Video Production
VC-BC301P plays well with different workflows and installations. It supports IP delivery for remote monitoring and streaming direct to cloud services and streaming platforms such as YouTube, Livestream, Facebook, and Twitch. Its 4K HDMI output integrates with video production and AV environments while the USB connectivity gives it a role in video conferencing, unified communication, and collaboration spaces.
Fast Installation
Lightweight and compact, VC-B301P can be installed in virtually any location including on ceiling mounts, light weight tripods and robotic heads. Operated by power over Ethernet (PoE) or a DC power supply, the camera can be positioned with ease. The availability of power, video and control over a single Ethernet cable gives integrators the ultimate in speed of installation. VC-B301 is easy to live with, whether you’re an installer, operator or producer.
Total Control
The VC-BC301P's tally light provides visual confirmation to talent in front of the lens. Behind the camera, operators (local or remote) have a choice over control protocols including Visca and Onvif, with signals communicated over IP. Connected as a webcam over USB, the camera can be controlled via a PC or Mac. Finally, an optional infrared remote is available for in-room control.
