Key Features

  • NDI|HX3 Advanced IP Video Standard Support: ZowieKBD now fully supports the advanced NDI|HX3 protocol, delivering a superior experience compared to NDI|HX2. It enables seamless discovery of cameras, real-time video monitoring, and precise PTZ control-all with the ultra-low latency and bandwidth efficiency that define the HX3 standard. This integration transforms ZowieKBD into a powerful, next-generation production hub for modern IP-based workflows. Note: ZowieKBD only supports NDI|HX3, NDI|HX2, and NDI|HX (Certified), but not supports full NDI and NDI|HB. When connected to a Full NDI camera, the camera can be controlled but images cannot be previewed on ZowieKBD
  • 5-Inch Real-Time Video Display with 4K High Definition HDMI Out: Solves the key PTZ controller pain point of limited visual clarity during operation. The built-in 5-inch LCD provides essential at-a-glance monitoring, coupled with a 4K/30fps HDMI output that enables high-definition external viewing for precise framing and focus checks. This dual monitoring approach is designed to eliminate the eye strain and guesswork of squinting at small screens during long productions, delivering professional-grade control confidence. Note: Built-in LCD deactivates when HDMI is connected to prioritize external display performance
  • Smart Camera Auto-Discovery and One-Touch Search: ZowieKBD features intelligent protocol recognition, which instantly detects and connects to a wide range of compatible network cameras. With just one press of the search button, you can select your target protocol (such as NDI, ONVif, or VISCA) to auto-discover all available devices on the network. This eliminates the need for complex manual IP configuration, saving critical setup time-whether you're in the middle of a live event, a worship service, or a multi-camera production. The result is a swift transition from unboxing to broadcasting, often in just minutes
  • Effortless Multi-Camera Production with Group Control: ZowieKBD's advanced Group Control lets you manage up to 4 cameras as one synchronized unit. Save 255 unique group presets for instant recall, with each camera assignable to 10 different groups for ultimate flexibility. Eliminate manual, camera-by-camera operation-achieve coordinated moves, faster setup, and professional multi-camera sequences instantly, without expensive switchers or quad monitors. This streamlined solution cuts costs and transforms your production workflow
  • Quad View Monitoring with IP Address Labeling: Transforms multi-camera production with its integrated 5-inch display, simultaneously monitoring four video feeds-each clearly labeled with the camera's IP address for instant source identification. This allows live event producers, worship teams, and educators to maintain framing across all angles while monitoring stream health in real time. Unlike basic controllers, ZowieKBD provides dynamic layout control, enabling operators to prevent blind spots, avoid missed shots, and troubleshoot connectivity issues without interrupting the broadcast
  • Professional-Grade Tactile Control with 7D Joystick: Features a high-precision 7D joystick and six professional-grade knobs for smooth, broadcast-quality adjustments. This tactile control system provides operators with responsive and accurate camera movements, enabling precise pan, tilt, and zoom operations during live productions and recordings
