The BirdDog MAKI Live Kit is designed for mobile creators needing professional 4K video production on the go. Its key benefit is delivering high-quality, portable video with advanced features like 3x optical zoom, TOF autofocus, and Wi-Fi 6, all integrated into a wireless workflow. A potential caveat is the complexity for users unfamiliar with NDI|HX technology. This kit includes three MAKI Live cameras and a protective case, offering a powerful solution for live streaming, content creation, and remote collaboration.

NDI|HX is a protocol that allows high-quality video to be transmitted efficiently over standard IP networks. It simplifies multi-camera setups by reducing the need for traditional SDI cabling and offers greater flexibility in placement.
AI Gesture Control allows you to perform basic camera functions like zoom or focus by making specific hand gestures in front of the camera. Ensure the feature is enabled in the MAKI Studio software and follow the documented gesture patterns.
The operating range depends on your Wi-Fi 6 router and environmental factors. However, Wi-Fi 6 generally offers improved range and stability compared to previous Wi-Fi standards, especially in congested wireless environments.
Yes, the MAKI Live cameras can be controlled remotely using the MAKI Studio software, which allows for configuration, live preview, and management of connected cameras over the network.
Information regarding the specific warranty period should be obtained from the retailer or BirdDog's official documentation. Typically, professional equipment comes with a standard manufacturer's warranty.
The MAKI Live Kit includes three cameras. You can manage and stream all three simultaneously, provided your network infrastructure and processing capabilities can handle the NDI|HX streams.
TOF stands for Time-of-Flight. This type of autofocus uses a dedicated sensor to measure the distance to the subject, providing extremely fast and accurate focusing, especially in challenging lighting conditions.
Ensure your Wi-Fi network is operating on the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band and that the network meets Wi-Fi 6 standards. Restart the camera and your router. Verify the Wi-Fi password entered is correct.
Check for any obstructions in front of the lens. Ensure the subject is well-lit. Clean the lens. Restart the camera. Confirm you are using the TOF autofocus mode.
Verify your network has sufficient bandwidth and low latency. Try connecting to a wired network if possible, or ensure strong Wi-Fi signal strength. Reduce network congestion by disconnecting other non-essential devices.
Ensure the camera has a clear line of sight to the user performing gestures. Check that the ambient lighting conditions are suitable and that the gesture control feature is enabled in the MAKI Studio software.
Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the camera and a power source. Try a different power adapter or USB port. Allow sufficient time for charging; the indicator light should show charging status.
Setup: Initial setup involves powering on the cameras, connecting to your Wi-Fi network via the MAKI Studio software, and configuring NDI|HX settings if required. Ensure your network supports Wi-Fi 6 for best results. The included EPP case provides protection during transport and storage.
Compatibility: The MAKI Live cameras are designed to integrate with MAKI Studio for control and management. NDI|HX support ensures compatibility with a wide range of NDI-enabled production switchers and software.
Care: To maintain performance, keep camera lenses clean using a microfiber cloth. Avoid exposing the cameras to extreme temperatures or moisture. Store the cameras in the provided EPP case when not in use to prevent damage.
