PANASONIC AG-CX370 4K CAMCORDER ENHANCES MOBILITY FOR IP-BASED LIVE PRODUCTIONS

The high-end CX370 features built-in NDI^®* HX2 IP connectivity for IP-based transmissions and camera control. When connected to NDI^®-compatible devices, such as switchers and decoders, NDI^® HX2 delivers smooth, high-quality IP-based live video production^[1]. The CX370 supports 4K direct streaming via the RTMP, RTMPS, and RTSP protocols – and the next-generation, IP-based SRT protocols.

When compared to predecessor CX Series camcorders, the CX370 now supports the 12G-SDI output, enabling high-quality, low-latency uncompressed 4K video to be streamed to professional broadcast equipment. The CX370 also supports simultaneous 4K output via SDI-HDMI outputs.

^{*NDI® is a video connectivity technology and is registered as a trademark by Vizrt NDI AB in the United States and other countries.

The CX370’s ease-of-use for production, broadcast and live streaming professionals sets it apart. Unlike the CX350 model, the camera features two balanced XLR inputs and a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack input. This enables support for up to four external microphones or line-level audio for 4-channel 24-bit LPCM audio recording.

In addition to the CX370’s compatibility with the AVC-ULTRA (P2 MXF) format^[2], the camera supports the File Transfer Protocol^[3], enabling recorded clips to be shared with broadcasters via a wired network, Wi-Fi (AJ-WM50E optional) or USB tethering through a mobile phone. This streamlines production workflows and drastically reduces the time required to air content.

The newly integrated GENLOCK input terminal delivers broadcast-quality synchronisation in multi-camera environments, whilst visuals can be simultaneously displayed across multiple high-definition LCD displays and viewfinders. Focus and zoom settings can also be easily adjusted through wired remote control, or through IP-based networks over a LAN connection.

^{[2] Not all AVC-ULTRA formats are supported, and standard P2 cards are not compatible.
