BirdDog X5 Ultra Firmware Release Notes

Firmware Version 0.3.0012.00

Initial Public shipping firmware release:

Important note - please power cycle your camera BEFORE applying this firmware update, and again after applying the update.

Known Limitations: 

  1. RTMP is not supported with H.265 video compression. 
  2. When the Stabilizer feature is turned on/off, the camera will automatically reboot
  3. When the Stabilizer feature is enabled the maximum Video Format output is 2160p30 only with lower FOV (Field of view).  If the Video Format is set to 2160p60 it will output 2160p30 while the Stabilizer feature is enabled.
  4. When the Stabilizer feature is enabled, the HDMI-2 NDI decoding output is not supported. 
  5. The NDI/SRT/RTSP/RTMP share a network setting of video format / Video Compression/ GOP / Bitrate, on the Primary Encoder Settings page. 
  6. The OSD via HDMI will be blurred at 720p (Press the menu button on the IR remote to adjust the resolution to 1080p).
  7. When the Video Format is changed the RTSP stream may stop and need to be manually restarted. 
  8. The HDMI-2 decoder is limited by the video output format and needs to be consistent. The frame rate for the camera encode, and decode source must match. For example, the HDMI output format is 30fps, so it is best to set the HDMI-2 decode source to 30fps as well.
